About Chanelle

My earliest memories of my love for animals are from childhood, when I would play in the yard with my grandparents' Yellow Lab, Trucker. I have always been passionate about animals, but over the past few years I have really had the chance to gain a great experience and knowledge of animals of all kinds. I started out working as a kennel technician for a year where I supervised and took care of dogs and cats, as well as did some grooming. During this time I also started out my experience in caring for animals by taking part in the Dover High School Animal Science Program for two years. I am currently enrolled in my second year in the Veterinary Technology Program at UNH where I am learning medical and behavioral care for a wide variety of animals. I do have some experience with farm animals, including alpacas, cows, sheep, goats, chickens and horses that I have developed from horseback riding for 10+ years, as well as my time in the Dover Animal Science Program. However, most of my experience has been with dogs and cats. I have also owned guinea pigs, fish and rabbits, and have some experience in caring for birds, mice and rats as well.
