About Stephanie

Social Media & Marketing
Stephanie has 3 dachshunds (Maple, Thor, and Loki). By day she is a West Coast Retail Director and by nights/weekends her hobby is dachshunds (yes that’s a hobby).
Stephanie is born and raised in Portland, OR where she got Maple as a pup in 2010. In 2017 she was relocated by her company to LA so her and Maple packed up the back of their outback and drove to LA with high heels and high hopes and have been basking in the sun since!
Coming to LA she quickly realized how large of a dachshund community there is so she started following dachshund rescues to seek to adopt. After a few failed applications she was approved for Loki in 2021. During her meet & greet with Loki she was told Loki was bonded to his brother Thor and of course she couldn’t separate the 2 so she ended up adopting both boys and that’s how The Doxie Squad became 3!
Last but not least, Stephanie realized post-pandemic how many rescues needed fosters to save lives so in 2023 she became a dachshund foster mum so at any given time The Doxie Squad household has at least 4 weens. She loves them short and long 🤎
