Our Team

Chrissy Allen

Chrissy, our founder, lives in Houston and is our boots on the ground player who makes all of this possible. She visits the dogs at the city shelter and extensively temperament tests them. This ensures that a dog seen in the chaotic environment of the shelter will be a good fit for our rescue. She takes photos, videos, and evaluates their personalities. Chrissy leads the Houston operation from first visit to transport day.

Sam Mulholland

Sam is one of our two bad ass women in Vermont who give us the green light to transport dogs up North. She incorporates them into the pack at doggie daycare and fosters them until they find their furever homes! Sam leads the Vermont operation.

“I've been working with dogs since I was 14, my parents and I own a doggy daycare! I've been fostering for multiple different rescues for about 6 years now. I'm very experienced with big packs of dogs, and also own 5 pups of my own! I really enjoy helping find forever homes for pups in need!!!”

Dana Harder

Dana and her family live in Upstate NY, where we are building a foster network and hope to have an extensive network of dog savvy fosters to help our pups on their journeys to their forever homes. She handles the screening of applications so you will likely be texting, emailing, or speaking to her. Most importantly, she is Pippy’s mom!
