Andy Schulgasser has worked and volunteered as an animal behavior specialist and humane educator for the past 31 years. She has always felt a deep connection with animals, and has educated people at animal shelters & rescues throughout the US about prevention of cruelty, and kindness towards animals. Her experience started in childhood picking up stray dogs, and continued as an adult as she became
knowledgeable about cats & other animals needing help. This has included volunteering and interning at farm animal sanctuaries. Gracie, an amazing, gentle, Beagle/Border Collie mix was Andy's last furry friend who, sadly was assisted in her passing January 8, 2019. She was vegan for the 6 years she lived with Andy. Andy strives to educate people with the basics for preventing behavior problems in their pets, so they can enjoy happy, long lasting relationships. One of Andy's current goals is to change the Rental industry nationwide for animals to stop Pet Discrimination (fees, rent, deposits), to stop smoking in 80% of rentals, &, to get the rental industry to stop forcing toxic carpet, air-freshener plug-ins on tenants, & more. Please check out her Pet Discrimination Page on Facebook, & LIKE it. Many years ago, after learning about animals used in experiments, for food, clothing and entertainment, Andy chose to change her life so she would no longer be contributing to animal suffering. This included becoming a vegan 31 years ago. She enjoys the many great vegan foods available, and has many resources posted here. SERVICES: Andy offers house sitting, pet sitting, run/walk dogs, assist w/behavior problem solving w/your pets, &, more. In addition, she assists people to improve/heal health issues for them &, their pets with a healthy vegan diet.
