About Me
I am 38 years old and live in Floyd, NM. I have always loved animals and have many. I currently have a horse ranch with many different animals including many rescues and strays they include; 8 horses, 4 dogs, 4 cats, a goat, and 3 birds. I hope to contribute to the wildlife community by helping the little critters that need help. My dream has always been to help animals and I think this is the perfect way to do it therefore I founded Alpine Meadows Wildlife Rehab- founded in 2007. We are in our fourth year!
