Sommer & Opie
Sommer - Daycare (Rossland)
Sommer has always had a huge love for our four-legged friends, especially dogs! Sommer began volunteering at Barks and Recreation and the SPCA as a dog walker and part-time puppy cuddler. Her first job began at Pet Needs Plus where she began learning the ins and outs of what it takes to provide our fur babies with what they truly need to thrive. Sommer is a proud mama to Opie, a Sharpei- blue nose Pitbull.
Sommer spends her days, living the dream, hiking with dogs in the wilderness. She loves being outside providing exercise and positive learning experiences to all the dogs. New and old, Sommer will find a way to make a trusting relationship with any dog! Sommer is excited to be starting dog training classes with Amanda. She hopes to educate herself to help train as many dogs as possible in the future!

Prince the Serval & Autumn
Autumn - Sales (Trail)
Since Autumn can remember, she has always had an interest in all types of animals. As she grew up, she knew that wherever her life took her, she wanted animals to be a part of it. After high school, Autumn worked for a year at Walmart to save money to be able to volunteer at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Zimbabwe, Africa. For three weeks, Autumn had the experience of a life-time! She took care of baby animals, maintained enclosures, and actually had the opportunity to witness an animal ready to be released back into the wild!
When Autumn returned home, she knew she wanted to continue to work with animals. She secured a job at Tails and has been loving meeting the dogs and cats that come into the store everyday. Autumn thrives on learning what it takes to care for the animals that live in her local area and is looking forward to meeting your dog or cat when you bring them into the store!
