🐶 Fritz — Chief of Security & Protocol Enforcement

Jack Russell / Chihuahua Mix — The Sarge, The Enforcer, The Hidden Softie

Fritz came from a foster home after being rescued from Alabama.
The very first thing he did during introductions was bark at Lokki and Yogi — one decisive, confident bark.
Not aggressive.
Just, “I’m here. Pay attention.”

He grew into exactly that role — The Sarge.

If a car drives by, Fritz announces it.
If someone knocks, he’s already two steps ahead of everyone.
When groceries come into the house, he sits in front of them like a little sentry until they’re put away.

But behind the tough-guy act is a dog with an enormous heart.
Fritz is the emotional monitor of the pack — he knows when someone is upset, scared, or hurting, and he’s the first to check on them after the vet, or after a stressful moment.

He’s independent, comfortable doing his own thing, and perfectly content supervising from the dog couch.
But when the pack needs him, he steps in instantly.

He may be small, but he carries himself like a guardian.

🐶 Stevie — Human Resources (HR) Director & Director of Cuddle Operations

Double Merle Catahoula Mix — Velcro Dog, Love Thief, Pack Momma

Stevie was a leap of faith — a special-needs rescue overlooked for more than a year.
Double merle.
Micropthalmia.
Partially blind.
Mostly deaf.
But full of heart.

I adopted her because she deserved love and stability…
and she repaid that by instantly bonding to me like Velcro.

Stevie steals affection.
She doesn’t ask for attention — she takes it with a full-body hockey hip check into my leg, claiming her spot.
She pushes her way between the other dogs if she feels the love levels aren’t balanced in her favor.

Despite her rough start, Stevie is incredibly intuitive.
She mirrors Lokki when I’m gone, learning from his calm leadership.
She channels her inner Fritz when visiting dogs get too rough — placing herself between them like a protective mom.

When Hillary brings Dexter and Cobie over, Stevie becomes the referee, keeping play fair and safe.
She is nurturing, affectionate, curious, and an unstoppable joy machine.

Her fur is the softest I’ve ever felt.
Her spirit is even softer.

🐶 Yogi — Director Emeritus

Birmingham Rescue Pup — Survivor, Brother, Forever Part of the Pack

Yogi’s story began in Birmingham, Alabama, where he survived by eating from dumpsters as a puppy.
A rescue pulled him in, no one claimed him, and we adopted him into our family.

He didn’t know how to eat from a dog bowl at first — he only knew survival.
But he adapted quickly and became Lokki’s emotional anchor during their early years.

Yogi is no longer with me physically, but he is still part of the 3 Dogs story.
He is now living his best life with his person, Tammy, and he will always remain part of the legacy that gave this business its name.

Director Emeritus — forever in spirit.
