In Memory of Iris: Donate to the AB&T Coonhound Rescue

In Memory of Iris

Earlier this week, our beloved teammate Katie Summersell lost an important member of her family. During this time, she also said goodbye to her fellow onboarding teammate, temporarily becoming a department of one to support the whole company.

To demonstrate our appreciation for her during this difficult time, and to pay our respects for her loss, we've set up this GoFundMe to collect donations for the American Black and Tan Coonhound Rescue. This is a non-profit organization that focuses on the rescue and adoption of black and tan coonhounds, who can often have difficulty finding a forever home. You can read more about the rescue (or donate directly, if it's your preference!) at their website:

(No, Iris was not a black and tan coonhound. No, that does not change anything.)

For over 12 years, Iris was the very best girl. Described by her mom as baby menace turned begrudging (but loving) babysitter, she made an excellent sister to her human and foster pup siblings alike. She lived a love-filled, happy life, and she passed peacefully at home surrounded by her people after a day full of her favorite things. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.

Thank you for joining Katie's family in celebrating Iris's life by supporting a cause close to their hearts. If you would prefer to show support for Katie and her family in other ways, please reach out to Kari Sheets via Teams or email.
