I'm Alyson, 25 years old, and live in Austin, TX (LOVE it here!). I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, lots of fish, and soon will get a bird!! I always have many fosters and the current foster count is 6 cats. I work at a shelter, volunteer at a shelter, and volunteer with 4 rescue groups in my area. I'm not married, but have a wonderful boyfriend who I was best friends with for 5 years prior to our relationship. He loves my animals as much as they love him I love music of all kinds. I don't really have any activities that don't involve animals I love taking my dogs for hikes at the park and romps in the creek. I also will bust shelter dogs outta "jail" for several hours each week and take them to restaurants with outdoor seating for a little change of scenery. I just joined a group called 'Austin Dog People' and I'm very excited to join them on their group hikes!
