Pack Leaders | Poop In A Group LLC

Shannon Weed

Owner

Leader of the Pack

l became an official Colorado resident on January 13, 2015. I had had enough off the sub zero temperatures of Minneapolis, Minnesota and dreamed of new adventure in the wild west. Before moving I worked 6+ years as the Vice President of Operations for multiple high volume, high grossing, and highly creative restaurant concepts. I may not have liked the long and unpredictable hours, but I loved the work I did. I knew however that moving meant the opportunity to pave a new path, and to do something different with my future. I decide to take that chance. I decided to build a career doing something that I just can't seem to get enough of....PLAYING WITH PUPPIES!!

Alexia

Pack Leader

I was born in Mexico and moved to Colorado about 17 years ago so you can say I'm a native. I grew up around all kinds of animals from cows, horses and goats to cats, dogs, bunnies and reptiles. I currently have 5 amazing doggies named Dolce, Coco, Curly, Grisa and Luna. Although they're mostly couch potatoes we like to go on long park walks, hikes and occasionally lake adventures. It has always been my dream to work and help animals, so I finally decided to follow my dream and pursue a career in animal care where I feel I belong.

Tori Allenspach

Pack Leader

Hi, I’m Tori! I’m originally from Southern California, but Denver has been home for two years now, and I’ve completely fallen in love with it! I have felt a deep sense of connection with animals since I was little. I spent three years in California volunteering for my local animal shelter, where I gained so much joy from caring for the dogs and sending them off to amazing homes. Being such a dog lover, I’m always the go-to dog watcher for my friends who are going out of town, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am also a yoga teacher, who is constantly inspired by the world around me and the immense beauty that Colorado has to offer.
