James
Little Buddies co-owner, James, was raised with Gretchen, a gentle and loving Dachshund that lived an eventful 16 years. His family bred and showed champion Dalmatians starting with the first momma, Kelly, and later Obie and Casey, where James participated in all aspects of the process. It was clear he had a deep love and connection with animals from the beginning. He continued his love in the show ring, becoming a junior handler for the American Kennel Club, where he earned 8 major points showing three different Dalmatians. He has had his own cat named Miew, numerous fish, an African Ball Python named Simon, a turtle named Speedy, rats Nikki and George (and lots of little babies came from them!) and most recently adorable corgi mixes Gus and Foxxy Love.
Esteban
He's always been fascinated by dogs, starting with volunteering at an animal shelter at a young age and eventually earned a position there. Esteban was responsible for the intake of stray pets and developed skills calming down over-excited or nervous animals. He had the good fortune of working with show dog golden retrievers and blood hounds. He's thankful to work with pets of all sorts and the amazing team at Little Buddies! He is fluent in both English and Spanish.
He has been with us for 4 years.
Erik
Erik's animal journey started when he was 18. He got involved helping at the local dog kennel and also got a job at Spicewood Vet Clinic in Texas. He learned how to deal with a wild variety of breeds and how to identify mannerisms and moods. This experience helped break up any confrontations between dogs and help spot any illnesses or abnormalities in their health. Erik has a passion for animals and looks for his next opportunity to connect with another loving pet.
He joined the team in 2022.
