Abby and London are dedicated to their work and their dogs. This young couple has devoted their professional lives to dogs. To talk to them is like talking to “my people”. They are enthusiastic, funny, energetic and super smart about all things dog.

As things become more challenging, the work of our local animals shelters will become even more essential. It’s already happening. Pets are being re-homed due to financial difficulties, through no fault of their pet parents.

Mitch is from Germantown Tennessee and has spent his entire adult life working outdoors. From being a white water rafting guide at many places along the east coast, to becoming a sled dog guide in Alaska, Mitch is one of those guys who loves being in the outdoors.

The political crisis we are facing has me nearly frozen in my tracks. Every morning I wake up, catch up on current events and think to myself “what the f^ck?” (I don’t use the F word generally, but it fits right now.) I want, with my whole being, to hide under the covers, where it’s warm, safe and quiet. I do not want to face the day. I do not want to find a way to fight. I’m tired. We all are tired. But you know what gets me out of bed in the morning?
