Our Staff

ANN MARIE

I joined the staff of EOTL in 2006. I was so excited to find a local store specializing in good, natural nutrition and overall canine well-being. Both of my dogs, Tucker and Rex, are performance athletes, competing in the sport of Agility.  A well formulated diet is essential to keeping them fit to run!  I work part-time at the store during the summer and can occasionally be seen during the school year too.  I am a math teacher at Mukwonago High School. 

DAWN 

Taffy and I have been at EOTL since September 2008.  Arby joined us when we adopted him last April.  I’m here part time since I am the mom of two boys, am enrolled in college earning a degree in dietetics and also run the lunch program for Good Shepherd School in East Troy.  I feel that the benefits of good nutrition are as important for our furry family members as they are for us.

JOSEY

Josey and her golden retriever, Maizy, and 5 cats (Cadet, Cali, Snax, Trixie and Pep) have been loyal customers since 2006!  She’s the computer nerd at EOTL and helps with miscellaneous IT needs and most recently, the blog/website.  Outside her computer nerdiness Josey is passionate about holistic health care for humans and pets and appreciates all the products EOTL offers and fully embraces their mission.  She also extremely enjoys camping and geocaching with her hubby and Maizy, traditional food preservation and cooking, reading, herbalism, mineralogy, laughing
and listening (and dancing!) to disco and folk music.  

JUDY

I have been a member of the End of the Leash family since 2006. My husband Dick and I have 3 grown children, three grandchildren and several grand pets. We also have 2 dogs of our own, Drew and Zolla, and 2 cats, Fig and Sherlock. Being a part of End of the Leash has helped us to learn to care for our animal family more holistically and more completely. I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned but also find I learn something every day FROM our terrific customers. In our free time my husband and I enjoy music, bicycling, and family time.

LINDSEY

What can I say…I like big mutts and cannot lie! I just love to be around dogs! It always puts a smile on my face to see a dog wagging its tail. There is always lots of tail wagging going on at End of the Leash so I get my fill when working!

LORI

Lori joined EOTL in 2006 with her dog Wylie.  She has always had a love for animals so working at EOTL is definitely fitting for her.  Lori loves working with customers and passing along the knowledge and information that she has learned about dog and cat nutrition.  Lori and her husband Doug of 15 years have two daughters Lindsey 10, and Kaelyn 13.  They have two dogs; Wylie a Yellow Labrador and Chloe a Cardigan Welsh Corgi.  They also have two cats Lexi & Fred, two guinea pigs Gizmo & Josie and two hamsters Scarlett & Hamilton. Lori’s hobbies include spending time
with her family and animals, going to Jazzercise, camping, fishing,
crocheting and working with African Violets.

MICHELE

Michele, General Manager, is the newest collar at the End Of The Leash.  She joined the pack after managing the retail stores for the Wisconsin & Ozaukee Humane Societies for ten years and feels like she has come “home.”

In 2000 she adopted a Saint Bernard named Bishop that changed
her life and the lives of many people and animals.  Bishop suffered
from a disease that western medicine had no cure for and this led
Michele to research holistic methods of healing.   Not willing to
give up hope - or a way to give Bishop the highest quality of life
possible - she researched and fed him a raw diet, supplemented
with herbs & essences, used acupuncture, Reiki and animal
communication.  Because of this Bishop lived to be seven and she
couldn’t be more grateful for the time she was able to spend with
him and for everything he taught her.  She misses him every day
still and he is the reason she has become an advocate for
everything that EOTL stands for and is passionate about their
mission.  Michele is so honored to be able to work with Susie and
the staff at EOTL, some of the most knowledgeable, caring and
friendly people she’s ever met.    

She is pictured with her dogs Wesley (exotic mutt) and MayBelle
(Puggle) which were both adopted from the Wisconsin Humane
Society.   The rest of her adopted pack consists of her three cats
Lexington, Mr. Pibb and Bing.  She looks forward to meeting the
clients of EOTL and getting to know their families and their stories.
