My work at CooperRiis is essential to me because I am able to share my passion for working with animals and with people, people who may have never had the opportunity to work with a large variety of animals. It is also very rewarding to watch our residents and animals connect throughout our daily work. Animals are very intuitive and are able to pick up on when someone is struggling emotionally and give unconditionally love.
