Hi! My name is Tamara and I own a dog walking business in the Oak Park area called the Couch Divas. My children are also in the dog care business and own Dog Den Chicago in Forest Park. My goal as a Pet Tech instructor is to teach and certify, as many people as possible, the skills to perform pet CPR and first aid in case of an emergency. 10% of the profit from each class is donated to a local or international pet charity. You might wonder why I want to donate to an international organization when we have so much work to do here. Some of the countries/organizations that I have chosen are countries that don't even have animal abuse laws. There is literally no protection for animals. There are people in other parts of the world still fighting to get animals basic rights. As a community, we can learn to provide first aid locally, and save an animal on an international level who had absolutely no chance before. This is my vision as a teacher. I hope you will join me.
