If you are allergic to dogs, scared of dogs, or simply aren’t interested in meeting the dogs, please let our staff know! We’re happy to keep them out of your session.

Gus

Black and Silver Miniature Schnauzer, Trainee in Progress
Gus is our newest office pup, and he's still learning the ropes! Born January 2026, this 20-pound bundle of energy belongs to Rachel, one of our therapists, and he's currently in training to become a certified Canine Good Citizen and therapy dog. Gus has a gentle, quiet temperament and is happiest playing a good game of fetch, though every so often his puppy energy gets the best of him, and he'll sneak in a session with one of his squeakiest toys. He's hypoallergenic, like all Miniature Schnauzers, and he's working hard on his lobby-greeting skills so he can bring the same joy to the office as his mentor, Ruby Sue.

Ruby Sue

Golden Retriever, Office Regular
Ruby Sue is in the office most days, and she'd like you to know she's very busy being everyone's best friend. She's generally pretty laid-back, until she decides it's time for pets, at which point all bets are off. Expect a gentle nudge or a hopeful stare if she feels you haven't noticed her yet. Ruby Sue takes her job of greeting clients very seriously.

Pickles

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Guest Appearances Welcome
Born in April 2025, Pickles is our resident bundle of energy. Most days you'll find her at doggy daycare burning off some of that enthusiasm, but she makes special appearances at the office when she can. When she's here, expect an excited, full-body greeting, Pickles believes every hello deserves maximum enthusiasm.
