Hannah, Facility Manager

I am thrilled to be a part of The Mutt Hutt! I have been a dog-lover all my life. My childhood dogs were Poco (lab mix) Olga (Gordon setter) and Ida (chocolate lab). I am currently the mother of four: Gunther (Ridgeback mutt), Rhubarb (black lab mutt), Luigi (black cat) and Dracula (black cat).

I am lucky to be able to spend time with so many unique and lovable dogs at the Mutt Hutt. Their enthusiasm for simple pleasures and living in the moment really bring me joy. Dogs help us keep a healthy perspective on life, and remind us of what's important.

Megan, Salon Manager & Groomer
Pack Leader and Overnight Stay Supervisor

I am a long time Pack Leader and Ovenight Stay Supervisor of TMH. I left my position to pursue a career in grooming and I have been given the opportunity to return to meet up with some of my old dog friends to groom them. I continue to work at an east side grooming salon studying under a dog show professional groomer with many years of experience. I love to de-fur large dogs and enjoy the sense of pride after finishing a dog and making them look beautiful. I am available to groom your dog by appointment on Monday's.

Nick, Assistant Manager & Crew Leader

Hi, I'm Nick and I have two greyhounds named Sonny and Lorna Doone. We enjoy long walks and naps together. I love being a Pack Leader here at the Mutt Hutt. It's a fantastic place for dogs to play, socialize, run, and have a good time. I've learned a lot from working with all of these wonderful dogs. When I am not surrounded by dogs you can find me writing music on my guitar and piano.

Joey, Pack Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

Hi, I'm Joey! When I was a teenager I discovered that I had a driving passion for the well-being of our animal friends. Since then, I have spent much of my adult life working for for and with advocacy and rights organizations to help ensure the health and safety of those who share this planet with us, human and animal alike. I am very excited for the opportunity The Mutt Hutt has provided for me and I look forward to the opportunity to gain greater understanding and deeper appreciation as I work directly with one of our dearest companions from the animal kingdom! I recently adopted my first dog, a Doberman Pinscher I named Mozzer.

Todd, Crew Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

I consider the unconditional love that animals, especially dogs, provide to be one of the greatest joys in life. So I consider myself to be very fortunate to work at the Mutt Hutt--where I am literally surrounded by dogs--while attending Kent State. I am a transplant from Nebraska, where my family has had dogs since I was a child, beginning with our two-and-a-half legged dog, Fritz. Nowadays I have my own American Foxhound, Leah, who provides constant joy and entertainment around my household here in Cleveland. I look forward to meeting your special four-legged family members. Dogs rule!

Dave, Pack Leader and Dog Behavior Trainer

Hi my name is Dave and I started as s Pack Leader in 2009. I grew up around animals and have always had a passion for them. Since starting at the Mutt Hutt I have learned a lot about dogs and their behavior. When I am not hanging with the dogs I go to school at Cleveland State University studying journalism and play in a local band. I live in Tremont with two dogs a Boxer Mix named Champ and a rescued Cane Corso named Tank.

I recently enrolled to become a dog trainer through Paramount Dog Trainings school. I am looking forward to learning more about dog behavior and helping owners have better dogs.

Sean, Pack Leader

My name is Sean and I have been a huge fan of The Mutt Hutt since it opened in 2005. My dogs Maximus and Edwin have been clients and love being there. They love it so much they asked me to join them and I was delighted when I was hired this summer. When I am not at TMH I am working as an artist and specialize in pastels, painting and tattooing. I have a rescued cat named Lucky. I also enjoy offering my home by fostering for Secondhand Mutts when I can.

Jon, Pack Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

Since I was young animals have been apart of my life as my family always took in strays. When we didn't have room they would be passed on to another family member or friend, never leaving them without a home. While living with my brother and his three rescued Pit Bulls Compton, Chopper and Juno I came to realize that Pits were the breed for me. Now I am lucky enough to live with Gypsy, a Pit rescued by Friends of the Cleveland Kennel who was going to be put down because of her breed and health. Along working with all kinds of great dogs at The Mutt Hutt I look forward to helping Gypsy earn her K-9 Good Citizen Certification, advocating against breed specific discrimination and rescuing animals without homes.

Jessica, Pack Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

Like most of the staff at The Mutt Hutt, I've loved animals since as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, parakeets, snakes, rabbits, basically everything, but I've always really loved dogs especially. I have a dog of my own, a Boxer mix named Cooper that is a complete (but lovable) handful. The summer I started working at The Mutt Hutt, I had to do a high school senior project, called Genesis, which required me to work about two weeks at a professional job. I had seen The Mutt Hutt's web site before, so I remembered it and called and they graciously took me in!

I really loved working there and being around the dogs, so when they offered me a job there this summer, I had to say yes. Working at The Mutt Hutt has made me realize I always want to work with animals. I've already learned so much from The Mutt Hutt and I can't wait to learn more! During the school year I am studying Zoology at Ohio State University and volunteering my time at local animal shelters to fill the void of working with the dogs at The Mutt Hutt.

Eddy, Pack Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

I love dogs! I own a herding shepherd mix named Bella. I grew up a Cairne Terrier and I really enjoy caretaking for dogs. I have interests in dog pyschology so working at The Mutt Hutt I have learned a lot. In my personal time I am a musician and play in a local band. I enjoy riding my bike to and from work and cutting down on my carbon footprint. I also enjoy volunteering for Secondhand Mutts and spending the night with your dogs.

Carla, Pack Leader & Overnight Stay Supervisor

I am a long time animal lover. I have been working with animals in some shape or form for the past seven years. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier named Star who I named when I was four. I have always had terriers but as an adult I don’t have time for a dog in my personal life so I have 3 cats named Ghaal, Grizelda and Mange. I currently get my dog fix working at The Mutt Hutt and being a full time pet sitter at JoyCares Personalized Pet Sitting. I have a bachelors degree from Cleveland State in Pyschology and minor in Biology focusing on animal behavior. I am also very active in Cleveland’s nonprofit sector. I enjoy working with Secondhand Mutts and giving back my time to the community.

Amanda, Pack Leader

I'm Amanda and on July 14th, 2009 I adopted my first Secondhand Mutt, Cuyahoga, and was introduced to a magical place for dogs called The Mutt Hutt. Cuya loves The Mutt Hutt and always has a blast when she comes for day care. It is her home away from home when I am out of town. She even met her "sister" there, fellow SHM, Timida. On September 4th 2010, I became a SHM failed foster and Timi became my permanent pup! Cuya has earned her Canine Good Citizen Certification and Timi is coming out of her shell more and more each day. Cuya and Timi are my fur-kids and when I met Matthew and his two dogs, Hobbes (Airdale Terrier) and Hershey (Choc Lab) our pack was complete! Hobbes and I are working on his Therapy Dog Certification so we can visit hospital patients. I hope to work more with animal rescue in the future. I am so lucky to be able to learn more about dogs and their lives by working at The Mutt Hutt with such great fellow Pack Leaders. Your dogs are wonderful and I look forward to seeing them at their next visit! "Life is great! Dogs make it better!"
