Meet our CEO, Liesl, and her furbaby, Finn!⠀
Finn is 5 years old and has an amaaaazing origin story.⠀

A couple of years ago, Liesl had a dream that she had a dog named Finn. The next day she went on PetFinder and there was the dog of her dreams! (She was also paddling a yellow canoe in that dream, which she didn't own at the time...but now she does!) Dreams do come true! 😍⠀

Finn is a rescue dog who loves the snow and being a greeter on all hiking trails. She's also a big fan of Bellcate School Dog Treats and chew toys! (@bellcatedogtreats)⠀
