About the Organization & the Owners/Operators

Mutt Heads started because of our love of rescue and fostering. We have housed nearly 500 adoptable dogs, puppies, cats & kittens through local rescues since 2014. Mutt Heads is dedicated to our crew. To learn more about our fur family visit the "Ambassador Crew" page.​

Prior to starting Mutt Heads, Cassie obtained her Bachelor of Management degree and worked as a Human Resources professional.

Cassie received her Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) certification in 2022. She has completed the Fear Free Boarding certification program. Her education and experience allows her to understand our boarding clients and make sure that they are set-up for success when staying in our facility. Cassie is currently working on obtaining the 300 hours of behaviour consulting experience required to apply to be able to write the Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine exam. Her goal is to become a certified consultant within the next 5 years.
