Like many great stories, ours starts with a dog.

Our cofounder Sara got to know her neighbors around Sellwood while training her puppy Kiki. Kiki passed away a few weeks before her first birthday, due to a severe hereditary health issue. Already burnt out at work, Sara quit not long after.

The neighbors she’d met because of her dog became a vital support system (and friends). This lend-a-hand spirit inspired Sara to create a communications team that put relationships first.
