I'm Jennifer Mariani. My husband and I have been rescuing, raising and loving dogs since long before we had a website to put it on. When we moved out to this stretch of land outside Elon, the goal was simple: a quiet country place with room for our pack, a creek out back, and a road long enough for a real walk.
Then Codie came home and built a training practice out of nothing. Then Jenna picked up a camera and started capturing every dog that came through the gate. The website you're looking at is the three of us — same passion, three different ways of helping dogs and the people who love them.
