Cadence, one of our Enrichment Specialists, joined the Central Bark team in December of 2025. Born and raised in Matthews, North Carolina, Cadence has been homeschooled and is currently in her junior year of high school. From an early age, she has had a deep love for animals, a passion that continues to shape her daily life and future goals. In addition to working with the amazing pups at Central Bark, Cadence enjoys riding horses and caring for her ever-growing family of more than 20 pets. Her hands-on experience with animals has inspired her long-term dream of opening her own equine sanctuary, where she hopes to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a safe haven for abused and neglected horses.
