Animal lover/outdoor enthusiast looking for friends!

Hey everyone,
I'm new here, well, I've been here before but I've never really gone too far with my goals so this is a new account for a fresh start. I'm a huge animal lover of all kinds and will be getting an aussie pup named Rio come June to join me as a fitness buddy and adventure companion. I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in Marquette with my wonderful girlfriend and informal fiancee, Stacy, with Lake Superior in our backyard (literally). Just looking to make friends with other animal lovers, possibly other college students (I'm a Fisheries and Wildlife Management major at Northern Michigan University specializing in wildlife with a focus on mammology), and outdoor enthusiasts to help motivate and check out adorable animal photos and awesome adventure photos with. =D

    Welcome back! I'm no college student (not for 21 years anyway) but I love the outdoors (running, cycling, sea-doo) and animals (have a border collie and 3 cats). I'm on daily - feel free to add me if you'd like. Good luck!

    I'm not too big on the outdoors stuff anymore but I love, love, love animals. Currently I own two dogs but walk four a day. Can't get enough. Congratulations on joining us on the site.

    No longer a student, but an avid hiker that spends every possible moment outside hiking or at the beach with my pup.

    Hi !! I also live in the U.P. and only about 1 1/2 hours from you ! I work with animals daily as I am a veterinary assistant. Glad to be a friend of yours if you like.
  • Hello:) I'm Caroline, also new here. I'm a huge fan of pretty much all kinds of animals and an owner of a crazy-as-it-gets Landseer, a horse and a cat. And I live in Poland, so it's quite a distance:)

    I'm still new to using the forums (I was an avid app user) but a little encouragement seems nice. I love animals (currently just housing 2 chinchillas) but I'm a college student, working on my Master's in Early Childhood education. I get all the craziness on fitting in hiking and backpacking with a course load!


    If you want someone to bemoan course work with, I can help!
