Pittsburgh South Team

Serina enjoys working at Camp and is always a positive light for the dogs and her fellow co-workers. She always has a smile on her face and can be seen dancing in the play yard with the pups. She truly has a love for her four-legged friends!

She has her own pet-sitting service (Sunshine's Pet Sitting) and her and her fiance just released their own clothing line. At home, she is the proud mama to a senior dog, turtle, cats and chickens. She is truly a one-of-a-kind soul. Please say "hi" to Serina the next time you see her at Camp!

Sue is a self-proclaimed "foodie" and likes to try out new restaurants and international foods. She is always up to try good craft beers-mostly ones on the darker side (Stouts, Porters, etc.) Her favorite part of working at Camp is getting to see her favorite dogs grow up over the years and meet new ones daily.

Pam started working at Camp Bow Wow in March of 2008. She has two dogs, Benson, a 15 year old Jack Russell Terrier, and Marina, an almost 3 year old wiry haired Jack Russell Terrier who is an ornery little beast. She also has a pet mouse named Tyrion (after the best Game of Thrones character), two ornate box turtles, two fire-bellied toads, and a leopard gecko.

When Pam isn't at work she hangs out with her son, collects (and sometimes reads) books, rewatches Game of Thrones (and complains about the ending), sometimes writes, and has recently discovered her love of travel--her favorite place so far is New York City. Pam is OBSESSED with Halloween (she starts decorating at the end of August!), and loves the beach as well. Her favorite dog that comes to Camp is a handsome beagle named Wilson.

Jan loves welcoming all of the new pups and their families to Camp. She loves Camp so much that she even brought her daughter Kiersten on board to work with us! She has two dogs at home currently, Beau and Kali-Beau is a previous Camp foster dog. My favorite part about Camp is meeting the parents of the Campers and hearing all about their home life. I love meeting the new Campers and their nervous parents and reassuring them that their Camper will be safe and have a good time while at Camp.

My pets: My loves are Beau, my "looks nothing like a Dane" failed foster and my old man Bruno who is 13 years young who is a Rotti mix. Cathy actually adopted him to me before we knew each other when she worked at the Washington Area Humane Society.

Austin has been with us for a number of years and is always there when we need him. He is always willing to give a helping hand anytime he is called upon. He is a valuable member of the Camp Bow Wow team and we are so lucky to have him.

Lauren has been working with us here at Camp since May 2022 and is always a positive person. She is a hard worker and will do whatever is needed to make sure the pups are safe and happy. When she is not at Camp, she is spending time with her family, friends, boyfriend and her Coonhound named Cooper. Cooper loves rolling around in the grass and will gladly eat anything you give him! We are lucky to have Lauren on our team!

Hannah has been a valuable asset ever since she began working with us. She always goes above and beyond for the dogs and her fellow co-workers. She can be trusted with every aspect of the daily operations at Camp and we are lucky to have such a fantastic woman on our team! At home, she has her own Italian Greyhounds named Pierre and Phantom and enjoys spending time with them, her family and her boyfriend.
