For The Love
of Animals!
Ever since Seth was a child, he spent countless hours learning about animals; when he was 19 he was a able to adopt his first parrot, Zoe the macaw.
In an effort to socialize Zoe, Seth would regularly volunteer his time with seniors at a local nursing home. The interaction enriched the lives of the residents and his animals, as well as became a positive experience that steered Seth into a lifelong career.

He has been able to provide a safe home for over 80 adopted animals while continuing to provide outreach programming to seniors.
