Our Team - Meet Nicole, Store Manager

Do you have pets at home? 

Yes, I have two pups at home. Snowy Dee is a deaf albino Staffordshire Terrier. She is 13 and is your average crabby old lady. We rescued her in 2007 and she has been a spoiled girl ever since. Her favorite hobbies include sleeping and eating. Hudson Lee is a Mini Doxie who I rescued from a slight puppy mill-type situation. He's 6 and is a mommy's boy which, unfortunately, means he is a very selective person. He loves to wear shirts and bow ties, being held is a favorite also. Hudson is a cuddler, he loves to be under blankets and snuggled up right next to you. Snow is more of an at arm's length cuddler. She wants you to pet her but on her terms and she does not like being smothered.

They both love being outside when it's warm and they will lay outside for hours if I would let them. They love all types of toys and treats and, depending on the type of things, they can stay occupied for a long time. I know that any type of water buffalo horn is a long lasting favorite, as well as the moose antlers we recently just got in. I use Cloud Star treats for most of their training or rewards and I switch up what we call their "nuh-night" treats - which are what they get when we get into bed.

Why did you want to work for The Pet Beastro?

I have generally always been in an animal/manager position. I have worked in retail for over ten years and customer service is the thing I love and I am good at. It has just been a major, major plus that I happened to fall into the animal industry. I love being able to work with our customers and find them the best food, supplement or treat. I take joy in hearing what someone got last time at my recommendation was a huge success.
