The Furshire was formed in 1997 and incorporated in 2005. I could not find any kennels, friends or neighbors to give my animals the level of care I felt they deserved while I went away. Guilt would stricken me every time. Thinking about their sad faces looking out of their locked up cages. Ugggg!

I searched high and low for a place that had an owner and staff to care enough about “my kids”. I could not find anything that met my expectations. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and opened The Furshire.

When you leave your pet with us – it’s the behind the scene care you do not see.

1) ATTENTION The snuggling, hugging, one-on-one time your pet receives is crazy awesome and best of all you do not have to pay extra.

2) FREEDOM Each day your pets get to run free inside and outside until they want to stop and rest. They are free to play instead of being locked in a room all day long.

3) FUN! For the water loving dogs they get to swim in the big pool or mess around in the splash park. Or for those who do not fancy the water, they can run and play on our 1 acre.

I have resided in Arizona for 29 years.
I have no two legged children of my own but I had many years as a foster mom of 101 wonderful children. My pets are my Golden Doodle Apollo, husky mix Katie, my special needs fiddler, and my breeding poodle Gybson.
I play bluegrass fiddle and classical violin and hockey for fun.

My studies include:

• Dog behavior
• Pet first aid and CPR Tech
• Certified with pet care services association
• Associate degrees in Human Resources and Child Development
• CDA certification
• Bachelor of Science in Social Work
• Master degree in Organizational Management

Hello! My name is Alana and I have been getting to love on and take care of your kiddos here at The Furshire as of June 2019! Pictured here I am snuggling my own fur-baby, Bugs. I am super excited to work in such an awesome environment with this amazing and caring group of people! My main hobby is learning new things and have always had a particular passion for learning more about creatures of all kinds and their well-being. I currently attend Arizona State University and am I pursuing a bachelor of science in Biology with a minor in Applied Ethics. My goals are to continue working in the field with animals by making a difference in animal cruelty and efforts to protect endangered species. My hope is to make the world a better place for both humans and animals. I feel extremely lucky to start this journey here at The Furshire by helping make our furry friend’s stay as comfortable and fun as possible!

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am so excited to be apart of the Furshire family! It has always been a huge passion of mine to care for animals and I love being around them 24/7! Having the opportunity to do it each and every day
with some amazing people is a dream come true! I’m born and raised in Arizona and a mom to one amazing Son named Tristan and a beautiful kitty named Dutchess. They both mean everything to me and I could not imagine where I would be in this crazy world without
them! On my down time I enjoy reading a good book,yoga, hiking, watching a good movie, or learning a new hobby. I love pushing myself out of my comfort zone and learning new skills that I can apply to my everyday life. I am so excited and thankful to have the opportunity to build some great relationships with both you and your fur babies. I can’t wait to see where this journey will take me!

Hi everyone! My name is Gabby and I couldn’t be happier that I have the opportunity to love and care for all of your kiddos that come in. Im a Minnesotan born and raised until I moved here around 3 years ago. I was an avid softball player for about 12 years and all through high school but now, while I still enjoy playing when I have the opportunity, I help my little sister grow within the sport as best as I can. I’m currently in my first year of college at Estrella Mountain Community College getting my pre-requisites so I can continue my passion for animals and major in Veterinary Medicine and minor in Animal Chiropractics. I feel so lucky that I have the opportunity to expand my knowledge of animals every shift that I get and learn all about your wonderful kiddos!

Hi, I’m Shelby! I’m happy to be part of The Furshire family and take care of your beloved pets while you’re away. I came to work here because my passion is with animals; I needed a change from retail, and I found fulfillment here! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and it is a life goal of mine to one day open a non-profit rescue. It is very important to me that all animals are treated with love and respect as they are beloved family to us all.  When I’m not at The Furshire, I am busy as a computer science student, taking care of my plants & freshwater aquarium, and spending time with family. In my free time, I like to hike, try out new foods, and game with friends. I have my own fur-child, Riley, and she’s my pride and joy. She’s my little rescue mix; she’s part Queensland heeler, Border Collie, and Australian Shepard, so she’s a handful as you might imagine. I’m very fortunate to be able to work with what I love here, and I can’t wait to see where it leads me.

My name is Kristen. I am 32 years young with a passion for helping people and animals. First, let me start off by saying that I am ecstatic to be back and a part of my Furshire family. Born and raised in Vermont. Love the fall and foliage! Spent a few years living down south in North Carolina, and made my way to Arizona. What can I say? I love being in beautiful weather! I have 3 dogs. Max, Mallory and Dena. Max is my old sweet love bug who loves napping on the couch and as many treats as he can consume. He is a gentle momma’s boy who loves being a part of the crowd. Mallory, my 5 year old lab mix is a sweet girl, timid at first but loves her affection. Mallory has had her fair share of life experiences. After Valley Fever, ACL repair/meniscus tear, and much more she is still a genuine lover. Life doesn’t get her down! Then, there is my one and only, Dena. She is 7 years young with a love for people! She was rescued from Georgia at 10 months and has been my rock since. We have traveled from Vermont, to North Carolina, Arizona and back a few times. She loves adventure and all the love she can get! I feel very blessed and thankful, that I get to spend my days with your animals and give them all the attention, patience and love they deserve. I have a lot of love to share! I thrive on the fact that everyday is a opportunity to learn something new.
