Brooke grew up with many animals in her family. These animals included dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, ducks, chickens, love birds, parakeets, turtles, frogs, and fish. These were all pets including Bobby the Iguana she had for 18 years. Currently, Brooke has one dog (Chance) and one cat (Chip). Apartment living is the only thing preventing her from adopting more.

Brooke also has experience volunteering at a therapeutic horseback riding camp for individuals with various concerns that included physical limitations and severe anxiety. Brooke assisted the camp attendees with brushing the horses, saddling them, and leading the horses with riders to various activities.
When Brooke is not working as a Social Worker, she enjoys hanging out with her 7-year-old human kiddo, Chance and Chip, going to the movies, seeing live concerts, and anything to do with nature and animals. Brooke is excited to be working with the Forever By My Side Team and wants families to know that their furry family members will be well taken care of.
