Cashew is a rescued Cockatiel who was at first afraid of her "human" colleagues.   She has since settled in and is often offering her communications during calls.

Cashew spends most of her day in the office moving from perch to perch often reviewing emails as shown above.

She enjoys snacks of millet and nuts and loves light rubs on her head.  

If you have taken a call with our CEO then more than likely you have heard Cashew in the background chirping away.

Solina is a  rescue Chihuahua and our nugget of joy.   She has been providing the needed morale boosts in the office for over three years now and continues to demand cuddle breaks throughout the day.

Solina enjoys a very oversized bed within the office or simply laying on the desk as work takes place.  

She enjoys snacks, belly rubs and any sort of attention that she can receive.   Her favorite toy, aka her best friend, is her little blue ball that she takes with her most places. 

Sarge is the latest addition to the DBH team.  He is a pure breed Chocolate Labrador Retriever who believes he is the same size as our little nugget Solina.

Sarge provides the deep loud barks when needed to maintain our perimiter security but in person is the most friendly doggo!

He enjoys treats and LOVES to chew on toys and anything else he may find.  He is growing fast and loves his little "Big" sister.
