I am the founder of Valley Mastiff Rescue established in 2008. I am also the maid, driver, nurse, cook, cleaner, walker, groomer and drool manager....!!!

One of my happy moments was being certified as a Family Dog Mediator FDM : an applied ethology family dog mediation professional. Our role as a rescue is to help dog lovers to fully understand their dogs and form truly authentic relationships with them.

I earned a diploma AEP in animal care from the Ministère de L' Education du Québec. This adds to my 2 certificates in Canine Nutrition. It was also important to me be certified in Pet First Aid & Pet CPR to be able to respond to emergencies.
One of my favorite hobbies is educating about responsible dog ownership and dog bite prevention. I conduct seminars, but acting as guide and teacher is vital to see positive changes in the animal world.

Je parle Français and English !

We are a small group of dedicated animal lovers. We value love, transparency and integrity and will treat every dog as our own. We are about quality, not quantity. We have always promised ourselves to give 100% to each dog in our care, to do any less means we would have failed at our mission. Mama France
