Her story
Hi, I'm Maxi.
I started Fetch Bus because I love being outdoors and giving dogs room to run, explore and spend time with a regular pack. I lead every field trip myself and pay close attention to how each dog moves, plays and settles in with the group. My goal is simple: dogs come home clean and fulfilled.
Every ride

She knows every dog by name.
She learns who is shy at first, who wants the window seat and who heads straight for the creek.

She posts the photos the same night.
You can see photos from the field trip on @fetch_bus.
