Leader of the Pack

Bob has not only devoted his career to animals by way of the pet products industry; he’s contributed to articulating the important and healthful ways animals enhance our lives. Through his work with APPA, the Human Animal Bond Research Institute and the Pet Leadership Council, Bob has advocated for increased awareness in proper pet care, research to better understand the human-animal connection and government support of animal-assisted therapies for veterans and children.

Dandelion

Dandelion came to Green Chimneys after being abandoned by her former owner at a veterinary clinic in Pennsylvania. Initially, we were told that Dandelion was a boy, but we soon discovered that she is female! While her story has a happy ending, it serves as a reminder that caring for any animal is a lifelong commitment.
