About Us

Roughly three years ago; while volunteering at a local animal shelter we happened to be socializing a a 4 month old little black dog. We were so taken by her confidence and friendlyness that we decided to adopt her for ourselves. This was the day that our lives dramically changed (forever)!

As soon as we could we enrolled Abbey in the Our Pack training class, more for us than for Abbey. Abbey was joined six months later by Jake. As we gained more experience with Jake and Abbey we started to talk to Marthina from Our Pack about fostering for Our Pack.

Our fostering started roughly two years ago, in the following two years, we've fostered energetic puppies, calm females, troublesome teenagers and everything in between.

We still remember the day when Marthina starting talking about chihuahuas and the bad rap they'd started to receive. At the time we only saw ourselves with large dogs and never imagined ourselves with a small dog. Marthina, continued to talk about the plight of chihuahua's, and eventually we agreed to foster a chihuahua for Our Pack.

Marthina found Pete at a local shelter, heavily congested, suffering from Kennel cough, she just couldn't leave him behind. Marthina helped Pete recover from his kennel cough before he came to us. It wasn't long before we started to see the size of Pete's personality and noticed he wasn't so different from Jake or Abbey. Pete fitted in so well with Jake and Abbey and we didn't want to see him with anyone else that we adopted him and made him a permanent fixture.

After adopting Pete our fostering has continued, so far we've fostered the following dogs: -

* Maddie * Penny * Chevy * Leanord

* Oliver * Joey * Walter
