Chris joined the Hairy Hounds Playground team in 2016 and has been an integral part of the business ever since, supporting both the people and dogs that make up the HHPG community.

He has a particular soft spot for Jack Russells and is known for his calm, steady presence around the dogs. Chris brings a thoughtful and practical approach to his role, often working quietly behind the scenes to help things run smoothly.

Outside of his work with the dogs, Chris has a strong interest in community support and giving back. He is particularly passionate about helping those doing it tough, supporting Melbourne’s ‘Reaching Out in the Inner West of Melbourne’ and supporting people impacted by domestic violence. This people first mindset carries through into his work at HHPG, where kindness, patience and respect are always front of mind.

Chris’s commitment to helping others, both human and canine, is an important part of the values that shape Hairy Hounds Playground.
