We're a small team with big ideas and a passion for animals and saving lives!

Behind every dog rescued, every donation received, and every life changed is a group of dedicated people who believe that small acts of love can change the world.

Theresa founded Phoebe's Promise Foundation in honor of her soul dog Phoebe — a 10-pound Shih Tzu who redefined devotion, one window vigil at a time. A lifelong animal advocate, she adopts first and asks questions later — fostering and rescuing senior dogs through Muttville and Love and Second Chances Rescue. When her cousin Tram's daily sacrifice in Vietnam moved her to act, Theresa didn't just send thoughts and prayers. She built a foundation. Theresa Burrill – Chief Promise Keeper

Nadine was practically born into a pack; there was a litter of puppies in her home the day she arrived, and she's been devoted to dogs ever since. She's Theresa's right hand and the foundation's secret weapon — swooping in with the know-how and connections to turn big ideas into real results. No problem too big, no cause too small. When Nadine's on the case, things get done with heart, hustle, and a wagging sense of purpose. Nadine Swenberg – Chief Vice Paw-sident

She simply cannot walk past a dog in distress without doing something about it. As our Chief Financial Paw-fficer, Ann keeps every dollar on a short leash — making sure donations go exactly where they're needed most. When Ann's involved, the numbers add up and the tails wag.

Tony has been a dog lover his entire life — raised in a family where dogs weren't just pets, they were family. He's the person who walks into a room and immediately knows everyone in it. By day he's a financial systems wizard at Adobe. By nature he's our secret weapon for building networks, finding donors, and spreading the word. We didn't just ask Tony to join — we recruited him like the prized free agent he is. His enthusiasm is contagious and his dog stories are endless. Tony Pham – Director of Good Wags & Happy Tails
