Meet The New Employee Pets of PetRelocation!
Over the past few weeks we've been excited to welcome several new employees to PetRelocation. These are busy times in the pet transportation world, and it was time to add a few more sharp and capable people to the team!
It's been fun getting to know them, of course, and there's something in particular we never waste time in asking our new hires about -- their pets. Read on to meet the furry friends that Whitney, Vanessa, Linda and Brooke go home to each night. As you'll see, they are truly passionate pet people (so they're sure to fit right in here).
Maggie
Whitney says: "My pup’s name is Maggie (or Maggie Moo) and she is a corgi/border collie mix. I adopted her about 5 years ago while in school in San Marcos. I used to volunteer at the shelter and it was love at first sight! She had a hard life before she we met, so we had to work really hard together on her social skills with people and other animals. She is getting older now, she’s about 11. She sleeps more than she used to, but still loves dog parks, hiking and swimming (AKA walking around in shallow water) -- those short legs make her a little nervous in deep water. She doesn’t let it stop her though! She also loves bones that are almost as big as she is!"
Tyson and Buttercup
Vanessa says: "My main man is Tyson Leonidas Sepulveda (pictured on the right). He is a 6-year-old Pitbull/Boxer mix. I got Tyson when he was 5 months old and it was love at first sight! He is my doggie soul mate and I love him more than words can say. He has a wonderfully funny personality and is such sweet boy that loves to kiss and snuggle! He thinks he’s a lap dog. To see what a cutie he is please check out his own Instagram: lifeoftys."
"My little girl is Buttercup Sepulveda (pictured on the left). She is a 6 month old Chihuahua/Terrier mix. I got Buttercup the week of my final interview for this job! I had gone to the ASPCA just to see the pups and when I saw her I knew she needed to come home with us. She is my crazy little tripod! Even though we have only had her for about 1.5 months she already runs the house. She is a goof ball that has no idea how tiny she is! She loves everyone and loves to play with other dogs! To see this little monkey please check out her Instagram: buttercupsbigadventures."
Piggy and Paisley
Linda says: "I have had my little Piggy the pug since he was 1. I had never ever even been around a pug until I met Piggy, and from the moment I met him I was smitten! Piggy is now 12 years old and is like my wise little Buddha. Piggy is the most chill dog, and he has a hard time grasping that he is a dog. He likes to lurk and creep on people from afar, and likes to hide in inconspicuous spots. His favorite game is 'pretend to take the treat.' Piggy has a huge effect on people, he got more tears when we moved across country than I did. He has even turned three people into actual pug owners, all based on their love for Piggy."
"Paisley was almost named Pancake, which if you met her is quite befitting. She is a 4-year-old Corgi/Shepard mix. I like to think of her as a sassy southern belle. Paisley is my Texas dog, we adopted her here in Austin when she was about 8 weeks old after battling Parvo for a couple tough weeks at our vet’s office. She is a survivor and one tough cookie! She makes life fun, she is extremely active and so smart. She is an incredible swimmer and so agile on our hikes, she is part billy goat and has actually scaled rock walls. She takes longer to meet new dogs and people but once she feels comfortable she is incredibly loving and cuddly."
Polly and BK
About Brooke's babies: "Polly is a 5-year-old Pit bull mix adopted from the Austin Humane Society when she was two months old. She loves clean laundry, going to Red Bud Isle, peanut butter Kongs and her Beagle cousins."
"BK is a 3-year-old tabby was also adopted form the Austin Humane Society and her favorite things to do include chewing on string, eating, and sleeping on Polly's beds."
Brooke also has a female calico cat named Keasbey who is not pictured. She's a rescue, as well.
Love for pets and an appreciation for the incredible experiences they add to our lives are what it's all about here at PetRelocation.
