Our Team
Carl Flotka & Tori Stromp
President & Secretary
Carl and Tori are husband and wife co-founders of the foundation. They are unapologetically obsessed dog parents to three rescue dogs. When they realized there’s only so much space at home, they began this foundation to help even more pets in the Philadelphia area.
Shannon Montgomery
Director of Projects and Events
Shannon brings her expertise as a project manager and non-profit professional to the foundation. As the Director of Projects and Events, she will help plan, organize, and execute projects throughout the year. She’s picture with her beloved dog Roux.
Jared Bickel
Vice President
Jared is a close friend of Carl, Tori, and Carter. He’s an equally obsessed dog dad and de facto babysitter to the family pets. Jared is based in Lexington, Kentucky where he contributes his networking and business relationship skills to growing the foundation. Jared is pictured here with his wife, Ellen Bickel.
Carter Brown Flotka
The Inspiration
Carter was a spunky lab mix rescue dog. Her life was filled with human and canine friends. At only 5 years old, Carter was diagnosed with aggressive melanoma. She passed away in September 2017. This organization is to carry on her legacy and do good for other pets in need.
