What I do
What's up with me?, not much. I try to live a life of meaning and I enjoy being of service to others. I am interested in learning, building community and having interesting conversations.
Photography
I volunteer my services whenever I can to help rescuers, shelters and organizations that could use quality photographs to help get dogs adopted, tell their story, etc.
Support
I trie to help rescuers whenever I can. Sometimes it is by catching a dog, transporting an animal or fixing stuff.
I design and make articles and pieces of art to help fund my volunteering and to help animals and people in need.
I build and maintain websites for a few small rescues and TNR programs and try to develop useful information for this website.

Is it safe letting your Indoor Cat roam free?
For many cat owners, the image of their feline companion basking in the sun or stalking a butterfly in the backyard is idyllic. However, the reality is that allowing your indoor cat to roam freely outdoors exposes them to a multitude of dangers.
