Nelli Flannery Devine's Owner
Tricia DevineI am a retired Recreational Therapist, who worked with physically challenged children & young adults for 37 years! Not only was I lucky enough to teach the skills of swimming, skiing, hockey and arts & crafts. But a large part of my day was engaged with animal therapy. We had horses for therapeutic riding and smaller animals such as goats, pigs, chickens & cats for animal care classes. I had two lab/hound mix (sisters) for 14 years, they crossed the rainbow bridge 4 years ago. It was finally time to have a pup once again grace my life, so 8 months ago I rescued Miss Nelli when she was 4 months old! She has a wonderful personality and once again I would like to see the magic that animals bring to people!
