Meet Our Pack

Michelle opened Bed and Biscuits in February of 2005. Her passion in
life has always been dogs. When she opened, she envisioned a place
where dogs could go to be dogs. A place full of love and fun but at the
same time a place that was safe. A place where dogs could be in a
country setting around nature and romp around and really use up their
energy. She wanted a place that was near her home so the dogs would
never be left alone. She has been an animal advocate and rescuer for
over 16 years and absolutely loves Great Danes. She is owned by four
- four legged children- Max, Myrtle, Mable and Fester. She also is
owned by four- two legged children- Stephanie, Ivy, Bailey and Gage.

Pack Leader.....

The Pack....

Lindsey has been loving and taking care of the gang at Bed and Biscuits for almost six years.
The staff and the dogs absolutely adore her. Lindsey gives the dogs a calm but loving energy
and always has an amazing sense of what the dogs are feeling. She spends her summers and
holidays with us and during the year is studying off at college to be a vet. Lindsey is owned by
many horses and dogs.

Sandra was with Bed and Biscuits for nearly three years. From the first day Sandra joined us
as part of our family she believed in our dream for dogs. She was a jack of all trades but
loved spending her days in the play yards with the dogs. She was such a staple around here
that many of you keep asking me where she has gone. We are sad to say that Sandra and
Joey moved to New York in October and we all miss them terribly. She calls and gets updates
on the dogs and she is planning a trip down soon to come and visit.

Amy has been with Bed and Biscuits for four years. She keeps the place running smoothly
and efficiently. There is nothing that this girl cannot do! We originally hired her because we
felt that she would be a tremendous asset to the dogs and we have learned over the years
that not only were we right about that but she can do everything else as well. Her heart is
big and the dogs love her and we are so thankful to have her as part of our team. Amy is
owned by Koda- a very, very, very big German Shepherd and Buddy- a little pug with a big
heart. She also has five cats.

Stephanie has been hanging out at Bed and Biscuits since it opened. She has been working
on our playground since she was in high school and is now off at Appalachian State studying
Biology in hopes of being a doctor one day. We sure would like it if she became a vet!
Stephanie comes home for the holidays and of course you will find her in the office
welcoming dogs in over the summers. Stephanie loves all the dogs but has a special place in
her heart for the little ones. She goes out of her way to make sure they feel safe and loved.
Stephanie is owned by Sissy- her 19 year old Maltese.

Derek is our resident handyman, run put' er upper, room fixer, fence put'er upper, fence
fixer, grill master and dog lover. You will see Derek around mostly in the evenings as he
has a 5am-5pm job with the Army but every evening he comes by to see who has arrived
and to say hi to them all. He is owned by Michelle.

Frances joined Bed and Biscuits in early 2010 and we feel so lucky to have her as part of our
team. Frances is the quietest one of the camp counselors and because she carries her
energy that way- she has an amazing ability to ease the anxiety of some our new campers as
they navigate their first vacation here. Frances has grown to be an integral part of our team
and the dogs look to her for her patience, understanding and love. We believe Frances has
been voted the staff member most likely to be licked and kissed and the very best golf cart
riding partner ever! Frances is owned by several rescue dogs and a some kitty cats as well!

We remember the day that Little Kelly walked through our door asking if we were hiring. At
first glance we thought she was to young with no experience and was still in school but
there was just something about this young woman that made us all vote for her over all the
other applicants! We are so glad that we did. We have witnessed Kelly growing into her own
person and watched her form bonds of love and affection for all our campers! She brings a
breath of fresh air to all of us and we are so excited to simultaneously have her as part of
our team and watch her move towards her goal of becoming a registered nurse! Kelly is
owned by several dogs!

We hit the Karma Jackpot when Kayla walked through our door nearly one year ago! The
military brought Kayla to the area and we would just like to say Thank You Uncle Sam!
Kayla has a sort of magic to her that is really rare. The way she engages our friends that
come to play is wonderful to watch. The dogs sense goodness in her presence and they
immediately trust her to keep them safe, happy, and loved. She has an amazing eye that
will catch the smallest detail and she is one of the friendliest, sweetest, loving young
woman we have ever known. She became a member of this team almost instantly and now
we cannot imagine this team without her. Kayla is owned by a little Yorkie, a Labrador and
a great big Mastiff.

Here she is- Bed and Biscuits future Pack Leader. Most of you know her as Bailey. She is
the youngest daughter of Michelle and Derek. She has been her Mom's shadow at the
kennel since she was 8 years old. Now that she is getting older she has officially become
a helper to the staff in the kennel. Bailey volunteers as a water bucket washer, food
bowl scrubber, super duper pooper picker upper, a really fun golf cart companion for
Rides For Rescue and the very best snuggler and hugger of our friends that come to
play with us! The staff appreciates the time and energy she puts into making their jobs a
little easier and her Mom really loves the idea of her Future Pack Leader Status. Bailey is
owned by Mouser!

Little Miss Ivy is also one of the Fitzgerald Girls. She has grown up in and around the
kennel and has a special place in her heart for the wee little dogs that come to play with
us. She loves nothing more than to come out and just hold and love them and make
them feel like they are the most special friend ever. We think that makes this young lady
pretty special too. We love when Ivy comes out to the kennel to volunteer some time
and lend her helping hands. At fourteen she has shown every member of the staff that
she is trustworthy and capable and that means a whole lot to us and to the dogs that
look forward to seeing her when they come to play. Ivy is owned by Fester!
