This past weekend, we had the honor of delivering January's Monthly Treat to the director of the BadRap in Oakland. Donna was thrilled with the donation and excited about Pupwalks' idea to revolutionize support for local dog rescues. She gave us a tour of their beautiful property and we learned a great deal about how this well-organized rescue is operated.

Read moreAshley joins our team in Dublin
Ashley joined us in November and walks dogs in the Dublin & Livermore area. She spent years as a professional dog groomer where she learned how to “read” dog body language skillfully and gained experience with a multitude of dog breeds and temperaments.
Ashley also has previous experience with walking and pet sitting so she made a very smooth transition to professional dog walking with Pupwalks! Ashley is warm and friendly and is a natural “dog person”.
Here she is with Hogan and Hagen, two loving and entertaining Labrador youngsters we walk in Livermore.
Another treat for a rescue - Dusty Paws!
Last week, we had our drawing for the “Monthly Treat” and the lucky winning charity was Dusty Paws Rescue in Castro Valley. On Saturday, Robin delivered the donation to a very grateful group of volunteers.

Shelli joins us in Hayward
Please meet Shelli! She walks in Hayward and lots of positive energy and enthusiasm with her dogs. Shelli has a yellow lab named Bella, who is like her child (really, just ask her). For years, Shelli had needed a dog walker to take Bella out while she was working long hours.
She knows what it's like to be worried about your dogs needs while your away and how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your furkids for you. Shelli is so empathetic with people and dogs, it's wonderful to have her on the team.
Heres she's walking Papi, a big loveable lab mix who has a penchant for bouncing balls 🏀😆
