My aim is to be a Security Dog Handler or to find another stable job so I can fund my passion. My interest in this area started off as a hobby when I started walking with my dogs and meeting other pet owners.
Then I started training my dogs with basic obedience and further security training. I trained my dog in Security from 5 weeks and we've worked so hard together, so now they have lots of awards that I'd like to put to use. Working with my dog would be a really special opportunity. I've put the work and time into it and I have a lot of motivation to believe I can do this.
I have been in and out of homelessness since he was 16. It really put a strain on my mental health. I left home at a young age as I grew up in a broken home and it wasn't suitable for me to live there. I've moved from so many properties and I've also lived rough on the streets and been illegally evicted from the only place that really felt like home.
I would like to have a stable home and a permanent job that I can build a career that involves my dog in some way. I never thought this type of support was available, and it's a wonderful thing that people can give others a step towards changing their lives and give them an opportunity to work hard for it.
