About the Owners
| Jessica Schwickrath... It was only after graduating college with a degree in Elementary Education that I realized that I was meant to spend my days with dogs. While substitute teaching , I also had a part time job working at The Center For Animal Health and Welfare, formally the Northampton County SPCA in Easton, PA. At one point in my life, my husband and I took care of eight dogs all living under one roof, for a period of four years. I knew my love for dogs was strong at that time, but working at the SPCA only made my love grow stronger. I soon became the Canine Manager. I worked at the SPCA for almost 2 years, learning more than I could have ever hoped for about dog behavior and their overall well being. I loved every minute of my very stressful, yet very rewarding position, and only gave it up to follow my dream of owning my own Dog Daycare ;) I look forward to loving up and playing with dogs every day for the rest of my extremely blessed life.

| Anthony Schwickrath... After receiving my Bachelor's Degree from Rutgers University, my wife and I began to fulfill our dream of owning our own dog day care. We have always loved being around dogs. As Jessica noted, I actually grew up in a dog house:). While pursuing my Master's Degree, we began renovating our dog day care facility. Renovations were painful, but they are coming along great. I am a certified dog trainer, and work full-time for a major financial firm. Even though I may not be able to be at the facility as often as Jessica, I still look forward to meeting you and your dog:) Anthony Schwickrath Owner/Operator/Dog Trainer A Furry Tail Come True |

| Hi everybody, My name is Marcus! You see my cute little mug on every page because I am the Furry Tail Mascot. I welcome new friends every day to my mom's awesome doggie daycare! My mom says that I am one of the best things that has ever happened to her....little does she know that it's the other way around. You see, my first owners dropped me off at The Center for Animal Health and Welfare shelter and never came back. I was there waiting for a home for six months before my mom..who happened to be the dog manager decided that enough was enough. Even though she already had my brothers Shady and Clay and sister Kacey, she said..."ah..what's one more" and she and my dad have been lovin' me ever since. Mom says shelter dogs are the best dogs! I agree! XOXO Marcus W. Schwickrath |

| My name is Daniel Schwickrath. I am a graduate from Middlesex County College in New Jersey, for Hotel Management and am working for a Doggie Hotel in a sense . I was born and raised around dogs all my life. I remember the looks on some classmates’ faces when I would mention that I had NINE dogs. Specifically speaking, my dog Logan, a 110 pound boxer, was my pride and joy up until his passing in May of 2009 at 5 years of age, from cancer no less. Within 3 weeks I watched him deteriorate and had to put him down. I never thought I could have another furry pal until Nessie (Thank you Jessica for the name, yes that IS a TWILIGHT REFERENCE for those in the know), a 5 pound Chihuahua, came into my life while installing tile last summer at the daycare. Now I say I have over hundreds of dogs while working for my sister-in-law and my brother here at A Furry Tail Come True. All in all I plan to use my experience with dogs and my education of Hotel Management to provide a fun-filled and easy-going ride for both you and your pets because, what’s that saying again, Oh yeah, “IT’S A DOG’S LIFE!!!” Also I spend most of my time helping my brother out with the improvements and renovations at the daycare, including our awesome newly turfed big yard and the expansion of the small dog area. They (Anthony, Jessica and the dogs) truly work me to the bone but I wouldn’t have it any other way. |
