ROYAL FLUSH HAVANESE TEAM OF CARETAKERS

Amanda, General Manager:

I am the General Manager at Royal Flush Havanese. I have over 15 years of professional customer service and business management experience. I have 20 years experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including working in a doggy daycare/boarding/indoor dog park facility. I volunteer on and off all year long. I have built a home with Habitat for Humanity. I also go into low income communities every tax season to prepare their tax returns for free and educate them on finances. Growing up we always had a German Shepard for training every month of my childhood. There has always been a four-legged family member in my home. We’ve had numerous different breed dogs, to cats, and even a ferret at one time! I’ve been studying animal behavior for as long as I can remember! We currently have our own Havanese puppy at home, Cora. She is the love of our lives! I love my career choice and especially my job at Royal Flush Havanese. Every day, I get to wake up and be a part of something completely amazing. These puppies, your new puppy included, has been born in my hand. Imagine the trust our moms have in me to allow me to sit with them during whelping and hold their babies at birth!  Every day is so fulfilling, whether I am grooming, training, taking photos or just sitting and snuggling our pups! My favorite part of working here, is watching the babies grow from birth. Their development is absolutely amazing. They get big and learn so quickly. Finding their forever home is also a favorite of mine. Matching our clients with the perfect puppies is always fun but watching them meet for the first time, is an experience like none other! My greatest day working with Royal Flush was being able to go to the Make A Wish Castle to meet 11 year old twins, Daniel and Elizabeth. There wish was for a Havanese puppy and we were so blessed to be able to provide them with an amazing little pup!

Shantelle, RFHRI Manager:

As a lifelong animal lover, working at Royal Flush has been the most rewarding job I have ever had. I look forward to coming in to work and spending time with our amazing dogs and a dedicated team of caretakers. Every day at work is a great day when puppy kisses are involved! Watching the puppies grow and develop from birth is so incredible and knowing that I was a part of it all is such a fulfilling feeling. I love helping our new customers find the perfect pup for their family as well as helping them through the training process and answering any questions they might come up with as time goes on. One of my favorite things is receiving updates and pictures of how amazing their new family member is doing and how much they love them! My family has always had dogs while I was growing up and I have a dog of my own now, and the knowledge I’ve gained from my time here will stay with me forever. I’m so thankful to have such an amazing job and am proud to be a part of the Royal Flush team!

Donna, RFHF Manager:

My name is Donna, I was given the amazing opportunity to move down and manage Royal Flush Havanese Florida in the spring of 2021 and its one of the best decisions I have ever made! I have been drawn to animals and nature from as far back as I can remember but dogs have always been my favorite. My first best friend was a Beagle name Freddy. You wouldn’t catch five-year-old me running around the neighborhood with out Freddy trotting along side me. Growing up there was never a time that we didn’t have a family dog and when it was time for me to move out my very first purchase was a puppy. An English Bull Terrier puppy named Angus. Angus is nine now, he has seen me through some of the best and worst times of my life, he is my whole heart. Words can’t express how grateful I am to be able to build a career here at Royal Flush Havanese where I am surrounded by a great team, wonderful dogs and where I am truly happy. My favorite part of the job here has to be the bittersweet moment when the puppies we have helped come into this world and raised and loved so much get to go home with their forever families to start new adventures and spread joy to all the people they meet, as all Havanese do so gracefully.

Christina, Canine Caretaker:

I have loved and respected animals ever since I was a child. I’m always there to help an animal in need whether it’s a turtle who needs help crossing the road, or an injured snake. Giving animals a second chance at life is the most rewarding experience! Working at Royal Flush Havanese has been life changing for me. Getting hands on experience with dogs and puppies is such a joy. Seeing newborns grow up and have their own personalities, quirks, and growing confidence has really helped me learn and grow as well! They have helped me through hard times and I am eternally grateful for their everlasting love.
