Razzie Recommends:
Razzie Recommends:
Companion: Tami Simon, Founder and Publisher
Description: “Razzie” (Full name: Raspberry; most popular nicknames include Razcal, Raz, Razzle Dazzle, Razmatazz, and Razcallion) is an all-black spoodle, which means she is half cocker spaniel and half poodle. Often referred to in North America as a “cockapoo,” Tami and Julie prefer the Australian naming of this mixed breed because of the “ooooh” sound in “oodle.” At this writing, Raz is just a puppy, known for her ceaselessly joyful and mischievous nature.
Her favorite Sounds True program is Divine Rebels, enamored as she is with the pioneering mystics throughout history who took great leaps of faith (Raz loves to jump from heights and find herself airborne), and who forged their own path regardless of cultural norms (Raz thinks noses are for biting).

Her favorite things are small humans, big humans, other dogs, treats, and tennis balls (in that order). She lives in the mountains with her human, where she enjoys the cool mountain air in the summer and fall and copious amounts of snowfall in the winter and spring.

Jack Recommends:
Jack Recommends:
Companion: Lisa Thomas, Audio Editor
Description: Jack is one of the newer members of the Sounds True dog family. His mom was found as a stray on a cold winter night in a suburb of Denver and the next day gave birth to 12 puppies. ColoRADogs (a local bully breed advocacy group) came to the rescue, mom and puppies were fostered, and now each of them has a forever home. Jack is a goofy and handsome fellow who loves to play and snuggle—he thinks he is a lap dog despite the fact he weighs over 70 pounds. His favorite part of the workday is playtime in the backyard with his fellow Sounds True pups.
“Three of my siblings are cats and I have witnessed the calming effect this program has on them—it’s a lifesaver!” -Jack

Hobart Recommends:
Hobart Recommends:
Companion: Rachael Murray, Senior Art Director
Description: “I was a homeless puppy living with coyotes on the railroad tracks behind Sounds True. I still feel a little wild, but I am growing up into a good boy.”
“Growing Up Mindful has helped me live in civilization. When I want to bite something, I use my favorite practice for impulse control called ‘HALT’ to quickly check in with my feelings and needs. When I feel anxious I practice ‘3-2-1 Contact’ to ground and calm myself. Of course I still need my quiet time, but now with Dr. Willard’s help, I think humans are pretty okay.” --Hobart

Amazing, and part Wonderful. She came with her litter to snuggle all of Sounds True for a bit one day. Her mom picked her up and never wanted to set her down. After a big day of snuggles with other local businesses she was brought to her forever home that evening and came back to Sounds True the very next day. She has the joy of growing up with a sister at work, and at home finding every excuse possible to be outside,
preferably romping in the mountains.
Phoebe Recommends:
Phoebe Recommends:
Companion: Chloé Prusiewicz, Product Marketing Manager
Description: Phoebe (aka Phoeberz, Fuzzy-butt, or just
Cat) is the bold and brave cat who decided to take over her mama's cube, and maybe a few other offices too. A rescue cat who was stuck in a crate for over a year before her fur-parents adopted her, she loves chasing just about anything, exploring new horizons, and napping on her human's clothes (we often find her napping in our laundry hamper). She is still quite the kitten at heart and a real diva of a cat. She likes to come into Sounds True to visit everyone for pets, treats, and to gaze out their windows. She especially likes the walks outside where she can pounce on grasshoppers in the tall grass and roll around in the dirt. Dogs aren't so scary anymore, but she still prefers the company of loving humans over the barky dogs any day.
