From dogs and cats to horses and geese, Elyse Thogerson has kept and cared for animals her whole life. Somehow, she says, they have always found her. During the pandemic, a sheep wandered its way onto her property. When she lived in Hawaii, stray cats would yell out and come up to her. When she was a teenager, she would help out her mother at their horse ranch, grooming and training the horses. She currently has seven horses, four dogs and five outdoor barn cats.
