Thamiris has been passionate about animals for as long as she can remember. When she was a little kid, she used to ask her parents to stop the car at every corner to try to rescue a dog from the streets and take it home.

Now she is more than happy to share her knowledge with people and help them have more information and a better relationship with these amazing and special souls.
