Our Dogs

Our team currently has two dogs! Kelly (Isabella white), who will be 14 in June 2022; and Boo (gray) who turns 14 in July 2022. Kelly and Boo arrived in September 2017 as 9 year olds. Boo is half sister to Casey--their mom was our beloved Sprite.


Below are the links to the individual pages of all our dogs, past and present. We still need to add info about Kelly and Boo, shown here pulling a fat tire bike on the Montour trail in 2019 (photo by Emily Buerger of 4 Steady Paws Photography).
