Rosie is a senior bloodhound I watched for a little over a month. Rosie was a slobber factory, and perfect in every way.

About Collette

I've always been passionate about animal welfare. For over 12 years, I worked as a creative director, interactive designer, and multichannel marketer for national animal welfare nonprofits.

In 2023, I decided to retire from my 30-year career and focus on helping animals more directly.

Since 2012, I've been caring for special needs pets, fostering, rehabilitating, and finding them loving homes. House & Hounds is the result of combining my professional skills and my dedication to animal welfare. It is more than a business, it is my way of life.
