About them

Hello everyone, We are Daniel and Jeff! We are pet parents to our two cats, Shaggy and Velma, and our Golden Retriever, Sophie, but we are excited to give them a human brother or sister one day. This journey is the most meaningful thing we will ever be a part of, but we can’t do it alone! We are looking for a very special person who would like to help us grow our family.

From the bottom of our hopeful hearts, thank you!
