Shana

Shana grew up in Virginia, lived in California for 15 years after college, and just moved to Florida recently. Her first pet was a guinea pig named Tiger, who was followed by a succession of hamsters. Her parents adopted their first family dog, Jake, when she was in middle school, followed shortly thereafter by their second dog, Boomerang.

Her first pet as an adult was her dog Linus, her ride-or-die.  Then, a few years after marrying her husband, they adopted their first Belgian Malinois, Lucy.  Linus and Lucy were a great duo until he passed away at 15, and a year later they adopted their second mal, Remy.  She and Lucy are just like true sisters, and they definitely spice up life.

Shana is a photographer by trade. She and Lucy have been a volunteer K9 search and rescue team for the past few years. She also enjoys practicing the aerial silks and backpacking in the Sierras. 

Beyond her daily interactions with her pets, her other experiences with animals include a brief stint as a pet trainer with PetSmart, and her recent photo documentary project about working dogs, called The Hero Beside Me.
