Quake, The Greeter

Our official greeter, Quake has been hanging out behind the front desk with Mom Linda since she was a puppy. Known for her flair for fashion, Quake has made quite an impression with the public. She prefers more than anything to chew on rawhides that she finds in her Mom’s purse!

Sam & Ellie

Sam has been living at Donner Creek almost his entire life, 12 years so far. He is often seen visiting with clients in exam rooms or else can be found sleeping on top of the refrigerator. He recently went through a dramatic weight loss journey in which he went from seventeen pounds to just over thirteen pounds in about 2 years.

Ellie has lived her whole life at Donner Creek and is now one year old. She is less visible than Sam, spending most of her time begging for treats in the back and splashing around in the sink.
