About the Board & Their Dogs
Van FleisherYogi is my “Bestie!” From his first belly-rub in
the morning ‘til his last one at night, he lets me know he loves me and I hope he knows I feel the same about him. |
Mary DocterMilo keeps me healthy—taking me on walks along
the beach, through our beautiful town, and of course to the El Carro OLA. We also enjoy marching in the 4th of July Parade with C-DOG! |
Karen SketchI am a semi-retired graphic artist who is looking to give back to the community in a way that I am most passionate about. I visit El Carro regularly with my Covid pup, Bodhi, who has grown up to be both people and dog-friendly because of the socialization skills he learned early on there. I am most grateful for all the wonderful people I have met in the last couple of years at El Carro.
Elle de la MontI am a lifelong animal lover who has worked in the animal industry in various capacities, including as a horse-riding instructor, working at a pet store and as a writer for an online pet magazine. I have extensive experience volunteering for charitable organizations such as Rotary International.
This is my small, bossy Maltese called Toru Chan Island Prince aka ‘Lambie’ who tags along with me on many adventures. 
Marla ParkHuck is my first fur baby and very much my soul pup! We are inseparable and enjoy walking the bluffs, running on the beach, and play time with our four-legged friends at El Carro off-leash area.

Siera FordI was so excited to adopt my first puppy, Bailey, in December of 2020. I've been taking her to El Carro almost every day since the beginning of 2021. She was very timid when I first rescued her, but she is now playful and confident thanks to the socialization she’s gotten at the park. We love hanging with all our human and doggy friends at El Carro everyday.
Sara ScottI teach tennis part-time at the Polo Club but every day around 4:00, our pup, Hunter gives me the look like, “Is it time? Can we go to the dog park now?” Hunter and our whole family have so enjoyed getting to know all the amazing dogs and their owners at El Carro.
Erin MilneBio coming soon!

Lorraine McIntireI enjoy taking my 10-year-old miniature Dachshund (Brownie) everywhere I go. Brownie is also a celebrity in town, having his picture proudly posted on Linden Trail at the entrance to State Park (please grab a bag as you pass by). We look forward to seeing you in town or at the park!
Kevin TwohyAngel and I love our bike rides together around Carpinteria, with the fresh ocean air, warm gentle breezes and beautiful landscapes! No place like home! 
Carolyn Wood FriedmanCarpinteria has been our home for decades! Our dog Olina is an important part of our family. We named her “Olina” because it means joyous in the Hawaiian language, and truly is a constant source of joy! Neil my husband is a psychotherapist and Olina helps him in his practice, comforting clients who benefit greatly from her affection. She enjoys her off-leash time, playing with her furry friends. If she could, Olina would advocate for a dog park/off-leash place, so, we do it for her!
