Meet Angie, Trainer

Salem and surrounding areas: Angela was born and raised right here in Salem, Oregon! Animals have been her passion since she was a child and started working in  pet shops as a teenager. She studied biology and herpetology in college. Moving across the country to follow her dreams and worked in a zoo in Arkansas for a couple of years, where she was the main caretaker for the Zoo. Taking care of lions, tigers ,monkeys and bears just to name a few! This helped her aquire the nickname Animal Lady. She ended up with a small zoo of her own with 70+ animals ranging from cats , dogs, and ferrets! It also included an array of reptiles. She loaded up her small zoo and made her way back to Oregon to be near family and pursue her dreams here. In her pursuit she came to OffLeash K9. She is very passionate about working with dogs! Angie says ” The joy I get from helping the dogs gain confidence and live fuller lives because of it, makes this a dream come true.”
