Cherie's love of animals began when she took her first steps on her family's ranch where they raised chickens, goats, cattle and horses. She currently shares her home with a few adopted cats and two rescued dogs. She became certified in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid in March 2019. Cherie has worked for Trails End since November 2004 covering the Leonardtown area and has grown fond of many of the family pets she has taken care of.
