Hearts of Gold Pet Services is owned and operated by
Ken Markert and Lauren Bishop, a husband and wife team. Both are long time pet lovers, and nothing makes them laugh out loud as much as animals!
 
They have two, 4-legged canine "children," Goldie and Harley. And these two "kids" bring joy, love and laughter to their lives each and every day!

Goldie is a labrador/husky mix who was adopted from the Humane Society of Southwest Washington in Vancouver. Goldie is a fantastic dog, filled with life, kisses, sweetness and a happy attitude.

In April 2008, Goldie was diagnosed with Addison 's Disease, a non-contagious disease that shut down her adrenal glands. So far, her disease has been controllable with treatment, which consists of pills and monthly shots. So Ken and Lauren have become very skilled at administering medication to dogs.

Harley is a young border collie whom they rescued from a bad living situation. Fortunately, in just a short time, he's become a loving, trusting, cuddling, playful, mischievous bundle of energy and life.

Every day they are grateful to have found these two incredibly loving, smart dogs.

Ken is a former graphic artist with a degree in Photography. Lauren is a speaker and seminar leader with a degree in Radio and Television Broadcasting.

Hearts of Gold Pet Services' Mission:

To provide passionate and professional pet care for all pets and their humans; to do everything possible to assist all animals when they're in need of food, shelter, care, medical attention and love.
