MEET THE FAMILY

The Owners

Hi, I’m Mary, the owner of your local, family-owned and operated dog daycare and boarding business. With over fifty years of experience in loving and caring for animals of all ages and species, I have always believed that every pet deserves the utmost attention and affection. After thirty-two years of teaching ornery middle school-aged kids, I decided to devote my time and love to the four-legged fur babies that love unconditionally, allowing me to create a nurturing environment where dogs can thrive. I take great pride in providing a safe and stimulating space for our canine and feline companions, filled with activities and socialization opportunities that cater to their individual needs. I am grateful that I can now do this alongside my husband Tony, daughter Lauren, and son-in-law Chris, as they share the same passion and love for all living creatures, big and small. Together, we work as a team to ensure that each dog in our care receives the love and attention they deserve, transforming our facility into a home away from home for our furry friends and establishing lasting relationships with the pets and their owners.

Lauren

Facility Manager

I help run our family-owned facility, the Menagerie, where I’ve worked on and off since 2014 and full-time since 2020. Although I like to think I’m the “brains” behind it, I acknowledge the collective effort involved. When not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends in NWA.

Chris

Property Manager

I am Lauren’s husband and property manager, known as “Mr. Fix-It,” with over fifteen years of construction experience. I enjoy spending my free time with family, whether at the golf course or fishing.

Liam

The kid that runs the show!

I’m Lauren and Chris’s little boy and the “assistant” that runs the show! I will be one year old as of April 2025 and keep my parents on their toes 100% of the time.
