Paws & Claws - About
IN–HOME-DOG-BOARDING
Ingrid was born and raised in Costa Rica where her life was split living in the city and also in the family farm; out in the country, very rustic. The dogs, cows, chickens and horses were her friends most of the time; thus starting developing a relation with animals that is very deep inside her. Ingrid 
moved to US in 1981 living in Fresno, where she went to school at Fresno City College and graduated as a Radiologic Technologist, profession that she still practices and loves; but her true passion is her love for dogs and cats, which the family is often growing…. We treasure the memories and the lessons we learned from our past and present pets as well as the guests that have left our space and are now in pet heaven. We have hosted gardening parties for pet fund raisers and enjoyed the comradery, meeting people with different passions and hobbies. Besides being a dog lover, Ingrid is helping different organization with fostering, rescuing networking and fundraisings-all for the passion and love she has for pets. Our biggest satisfaction is when client’s dogs go crazy when they are riding on their car and pass on the street near our house, and they recognize our names when asked to come and visit with us.
