Jessica Cobos
co-founder and Rescue Director
Jessica is a Dallas girl born and raised who found her love for animals at an early age. Before having any pets of her own, she was famously known for bringing home stray dogs. This passion to help animals only increased when she fell in love with her first dog, Drake that she adopted in college. 10 years and countless stray dogs later, Jessica lives in Dallas with Drake and her newest addition, Pippa who spend their free time outdoors adventuring whenever possible. An elementary school teacher by day and a full-time adoption advocate, she is a relatable dog mom and animal lover who makes it her goal to spread knowledge of rescuing to the community around her. She works with trusted non-profit groups and shelters to try to give forgotten dogs a second chance at the happy ever after they deserve.
Carolynn Lemke
Creative Director
A lifelong lover of design and art, Carolynn Lemke is the founder and owner of
Two Brunettes, a creative design studio founded during the height of the recession in 2009. Combining her love of collaborating with clients, her whimsical illustration work and a one-way ticket to the unemployment office following an unexpected layoff, she has spent the last several years illustrating and designing her heart out from her home studio in Syracuse, New York.
Inspired by her mother, a lover of all things crafty, Carolynn received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design from the University at Buffalo. Since then she has continued to be inspired by her love of family, frequently illustrating both families and their pets for everything from art prints to holiday cards. Today she brings that passion to her latest entrepreneurial pursuit, Noble Friends, a pet shop designed for pet lovers by a pet lover.
An adoring wife and a doting work-at-home mother of two, Carolynn also shares her heart with her fuzzy little dog and her two cats, all of whom frequently inspire her art.
