My husband Dennis and I are US Expat retirees living in Medellin, Colombia. Although Adriana grew up with a menagerie (among them dogs, cats, horses, cows, hamsters, boa constrictors, wooly monkeys and kinkajous) and in our adult life enjoyed the company of many cats and dogs, we have chosen to be “petless” in this stage of our lives, freeing us up to explore the world and,p provide our love to other’s pets.

Before leaving the US we did a stint fostering pups who were transitioning to their furever homes from the county shelter. We appreciate the great differences in temperament from one dog to the next and the need to be sensitive to the stresses of change.
