| Allsion services the Mesa area
Allison Scott was born in Arizona in 1988, and lived in Tempe until 2009. She now lives in Mesa with her husband, dogs, cats, and daughter.
Back in her heyday as a teenager, Allison was an avid epee fencer. She competed in Summer Nationals and the Junior Olympics, and was champion women's cadet epeeist in the Arizona/Nevada/Southern California circuit. She retired to pursue her preferred sport of show jumping her horse, Amorette. In fact, she competed in the Grand Canyon State Games in both jumping and fencing in the same year. While they don't get the opportunity as much as they'd like, she and Amorette still compete in show jumping as often as they can.
In 2011, she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from ASU. However, her passion has always resided in animals. They have always been a major part of her life; she grew up with dogs,cats, fish, birds, and horses. Allison has hand-raised dozens of orphaned birds, dogs, and cats. She worked in a cage-free no-kill animal shelter for over two and a half years, and was responsible for taking care of over 100 animals of all different species.
On January 6th, 2013, Allison's last day working at the animal shelter was interrupted by the birth of her daughter, Genevieve. She now spends all of her free time at home raising her little girl. She still assists as much as possible at the shelter as a volunteer, as she has bonded with all of the animals there.
Currently, she owns two cats (Dainty and Bernadette, which she raised from newborn orphans), two dogs (Cora, a Border Collie mix, and Pippin, a Papillon mix), and two horses (Amorette and Cerj, both Oldenburgs which she has owned and trained from birth). Although she professes to be a crazy cat lady, she adores all animals of any breed or species, and looks after them all as if they were her own. |
