Karen Vigil

Karen Vigil is passionate about dogs and pretty much surrounds herself with her four legged family members. It's a good thing her husband loves dogs too because besides training she does Bulldog rescue/fostering and volunteers for the SPCA, Washoe County Regional Animal Services, Res-Que and Boxers and Buddies, plus works a full time job.

Karen believes training is a very important part of having dogs, as living with a well trained dog reduces the chance of that dog ending up homeless in a shelter somewhere and it builds the bond between dog and pet owners.

Karen has lived in Reno for 30 years. She lives here with her Husband David and their dogs, Loomis an Aussie/Border Collie, Jiggs the Bulldog, Roxie the Diva Bulldog,Tucker a foster Bulldog that is now one of the family and two African Grey parrots, Elliot and Bandit.
