We've been partners for 22 years (Dennis left, Tony right).

During graduate school, we started fostering with local rescues.

What began as volunteer work turned out to be the work we were made for. Cool Spring Pack followed naturally from there.

The name “Cool Spring” is a geographic nod to where we lived when the pack began.

our dogs were 3 years old when we started the pack. Jackson, harper, and mattie (left to right) were our helpers-in-residence. they grew up with the pack and aged with the pack.

They lived to 13, 16, and 17.

Some of our clients have been with us since the beginning — many for more than a decade.

We've been part of the long arc of their dogs' lives.

The hello. The goodbye.

When their next dog came along—the hello again.

Small pack, big yard, perfect company.

Whether your dog wants to romp or roll, friends are here to help them choose.

We work exclusively by word of mouth.

If you're here, someone who loves their dog sent you.

Their dog knows why.

All the feels of a home with people who are thrilled your dog is part of it.
