About Jenn and her pets: Jenn is a native, Texan, born and raised in the Dallas area. After high school, she relocated to Austin to attend the University of Texas, where she studied Theatre Arts.

About Leigh's Pets: Leigh has two Boston Terriers, named Othello and Rigby. Othello is her oldest and lives a more peaceful lifestyle, but in his heyday, he loved doing agility with his mom, playing ball for hours, and learning new tricks almost daily. Othello is highly-intelligent, independent, and a little stubborn. Rigby might not be the smartest dog around, but he has a high emotional intelligence and is always there to cheer you up. His main focus these days is watching over his 4-year-old little boy and following him around in case he drops any food. When he is not playing babysitter to his human, he is a big couch potato who loves to cuddle day and night!
About Erisa's Pets: Erisa has two cats, Oliver and Mia. Mia, a small kitten at the time, was adopted in 2007 while Erisa attended the University of Texas at San Antonio. Mia is a Siamese mix, she is very spunky, independent, and a sassy fur-ball. Mia spends most of her time sunbathing on the balcony, listening to classical music, and making sure her fur-brother Oliver stays out of trouble. Oliver is an orange Tabby that entered Erisa's life in 2009. Oliver is loving, enjoys to cuddle, and a big mama's boy. Oliver loves to bird watch on his favorite spot, the window sill. He also enjoys animal documentaries. Erisa could not imagine life without her two furbabies.
About Alyssa's pets: Alyssa has a 3-year-old tortie cat, Piper, who is the definition of "tortitude." She adopted Piper while in college at UC Santa Barbara, and Piper has traveled with her all through California, and even made the journey with her driving to Texas. In her free time, Piper enjoys climbing on top of the kitchen counters and cabinets, begging for Greenies, listening to John Mayer, and snuggling with her mom when she feels like it.
About Lauren's pets: Lauren currently has three Pembroke Welsh Corgis named Benedict, Archibald, and her newest addition Princess Leia. Benedict and Archibald are three years old and do not come from the same litter, but they definitely act like true brothers from all the wrestling they like to do! Princess Leia came to us at South Park Animal Hospital as a stray with a broken femur, and Lauren decided to add a third to the family. Princess Leia may be the youngest, but she certainly lives up to her name and keeps her brothers on their toes!
About Evie's Pets: Evie has a very sweet 5-year-old Great Pyrenees mix named Jack who she loves with all of her heart. He is the goofiest floof, and loves hiking, swimming, destroying all of his stuffed toys, and receiving constant attention and adoration. Jack has been in Evie's life since he was 8 months old and despite a blur of various medical problems and injuries, is still the happiest boy.
About Kellen's Pets: Kellen has two border collies and two guinea pigs whom she loves tremendously. Their names are Maya (dog pictured), Miss Lady (dog), Samoa, and Oreo. Miss Lady could play fetch for hours even though she is 13! Maya is 8 years old and Kellen's needy baby. Maya has had several orthopedic surgeries and needs two more. Regardless of her surgeries, Maya still gets zoomies and loves her walks. The guinea pigs came to Kellen as a pregnant mom who was surrendered. Mom (Oreo) had four babies, and Kellen kept one baby. It has been a learning curve for her, but she enjoys watching them grow into their personalities.
