Anna Russo Strasnick
As owner, trainer and manager of GoodFellas, I am an on-site owner and manage the day-to-day operations of GoodFellas.
Like most people, I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly my children and my passion. My life would not be complete without dogs in my home. And to be able to work with them everyday -- incredibly rewarding! Throughout my life I have participated in several different obedience disciplines including protection training, agility, scent training, tracking and therapy work!
I have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Salem State College and got my business experience from managing a 300 seat restaurant/bar in Salem for 6 years. I also worked for 10 years as an investigator for the Federal government before deciding to open GoodFellas Doggy Daycare in June 2012. My philosophy was to build a place for my Golden Retriever, Noah, that was clean, safe, educational and nurturing and without question, fun! If I could create a place that I was comfortable sending my dogs, then others would be comfortable sending their dogs too. And Noah loves swimming, so I had to give him a swimming pool!
All of my dogs attend GoodFellas. Reagan, Moses, Wyatt who are all Golden Retrievers and Sadie, a Basset Hound!
