Our Story

We both grew up with a love for animals, especially dogs. When we got engaged it was natural that we wanted our 1st dog together. Our 1st dog together was a sweet and curious beagle named Rudy. Rudy came into our lives in the fall of 2001. He was the gentlest and sweetest dog that anyone could ask for. We loved giving Rudy treats and that is how we originally discovered River Dog Bakery.

We got married soon after Rudy came into our lives. We went on to become parents to 3 boys over the years. Rudy was a part of our family and a big part of our children’s lives. We had over 15 wonderful years with Rudy before he passed.

Almost 3 years after Rudy passed, we added a little girl beagle to our family. Maggie came into our lives in the winter of 2019. She is the sweetest and feistiest dog. She adores our attention and our whole family adores her!

We absolutely loved getting Maggie treats and cakes from River Dog Bakery! It was one of our visits that sparked an idea. We live closer to the Farragut community and felt like there was a need for another River Dog location. We loved the fact that River Dog Bakery is a local business and does so much for the local pet community. We hope you love our Farragut store and we can serve the Farragut and surrounding communities the way the original River Dog Bakery has served the Knoxville community and continues to do so!
