Wonder Dog Bakery

Meet the Staff

Jen • Norwegian/German Mix • Visionary / Cheerleader

I started Paws & Pups Bakery in 1998 with my Pomeranian, Toto. I made treats for friends and family just for fun. They’d let their pets choose between my treats and the “leading brand” biscuits, and the dogs always chose mine. A no-brainer! Paws & Pups Bakery has come a long way since then. Our recipe selection has evolved through a lot of trial and error, with help from our taste testers.

Michele • German/French Mix • Creator of Big Ideas / Chief Butt Scratcher

I always wondered why store-bought treats looked and smelled like colorful modeling clay. Then my dogs got really sick from some mass-produced treats. I vowed never to feed my fur babies anything I didn’t trust again. After extensive research and testing, I created recipes dogs LOVE! They prefer all-natural ingredients over treats that resemble plastic. As for colorful treats? Carrots, kale, oatmeal, bacon, and cheese naturally bring vibrant colors.

Ellie Mae • Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees mix Mix • Director of Hospitality

I’m the new Director of Hospitality at Paws and Pups, and I couldn’t be more excited to join the team! I’m a one-and-a-half-year-old Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees mix who adores everyone. I’m a great listener and take treats so gently. Watching my mom make all the yummy treats is a highlight of my day. I can’t wait to join the Saturday morning routine at the Woodstock Farm Fresh Market. I love everyone!

Kevin • Super Mutt • Director of Marketing

I was adopted from Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue in Kennesaw. As one of 11 puppies, I’m now a playful 2-year-old Aquarius who loves snacking on ice, Paws and Pups cookies, the occasional finger, and my beloved LambChop toy. I enjoy hanging out at Swift Cantrell dog park and Pet Play Place, where I can romp and play to my heart’s content. I’m super cuddly, adore my family (Dad calls me his 'lil buddy), and have a special fondness for the pool. Life is full of fun and love!

Sarah, aka Big Pup • Boxer • Director of Leisure Activities

I’m an 11-year-old Boxer, born and raised on a farm in Kentucky. When I was young and spry, I loved running through the fields with cows and chickens—those were the days! Now, I mostly focus on picking the perfect nap spot, whether it’s the sofa or one of my three cushy dog beds. It’s a tough life, I know. Occasionally, I still enjoy playing with a tennis ball or chewing on a hard bone.

Daisy, aka Lil' Pup • Hound mix • Director of Security

I was born on the same Kentucky farm where my sister Sarah grew up. My Mom was an Aussie Shepherd mix, and my Dad was likely a hound/pit mix. I look a lot like a Coon Hound, but who knows! At 2 years old, I’m full of energy. I love chasing delivery trucks along the fence line and playing with my two dozen tennis balls. Watching Mom bake cookies is a favorite pastime, especially when some roll onto the floor —I ’m the cleanup crew!

Walter • Newpyrdoodle • Director of Hospitality

I am a mix of Newfoundland, Poodle and Great Pyrenees and am only one year old. I was dropped of at the vet to be neutered and my owners never came back. Good thing, because I was then adopted by Michele and am living my best life with my brother, Kevin and sister, Ellie Mae. My calm demeanor and super sweetness helped me land the job of Director of Hospitality, where I greet everyone at the Paws & Pups booth at the farmers market every Saturday.
