Today we’re celebrating 14 incredible years with our very own Gerri Tapley ! 🩷🐾
If you’ve ever met Gerri, you know she keeps us all on track, while offering grace & wisdom when we need it most! And she always has a laugh ready to brighten the day.
When she’s not taking care of our team, she’s loving on her 15 grandchildren and her face lights up when she has one of those sweet babies in her arms.
She’s also a proud poodle mom, an incredibly talented dog groomer, and the kind of friend who never passes by without stopping for a genuine conversation or checking in on someone.
After 14 years of pouring so much into Puppy Paws, Gerri is getting ready for a well-earned retirement this January. While we’re so excited for everything this next chapter holds for her, we’re going to soak up every conversation, every laugh, every piece of advice, and every moment we have left with her over these next few months.
Thank you, Gerri, for helping shape the heart of Puppy Paws. Your kindness, leadership, and love for both people and dogs have left a mark on all of us.
Happy 14th Anniversary! We love you more than words can say. 💕🫶🏼🩷
