Taylor & Sadie
Taylor - Sales Associate (Rossland)
Taylor was a long time customer at Tails until she left school and became an employee in 2015. She's been a fantastic sale associate ever since and we can't imagine Tails without her! Taylor remembers everyone and their pets and always has a wonderfully warm smile to greet you with.
Taylor discovered her love for animals by growing up in Pass creek and being surrounded by hobby farms and pet owners. Taylor has grown up with four legged sibilings and has always loved taking care of them. Taylor shares her home here in Rossland with Sadie the Airedale mix and enjoys walking the Rossland trails with her.

Regan and Lola
Regan - Supervisor (Trail)
Regan’s experience working with animals started in 2012 with her walking dogs at Nelson SPCA. From there Regan moved on to Second Chance Animal Shelter to gain more experience with rescued dogs. During that time, Regan also worked at All Play Pet Care in Nelson and learned the basics of obedience and dog daycare.
In 2015 Regan brought home her first puppy Lola! Lola is a Lab-Collie mix full of love and adventure. As a sweet, high energy, anxious dog, Lola has taught Regan a lot of patience and given her a different outlook on dog training. After starting at Tails in 2017 Regan has continued learning more about force free dog training and how it can help her and Lola. Now as our Trail Store Supervisor, Regan is excited to be part of our full-time team and plans to help and guide Tails’ customers on their journeys with their pets!
