Pets of BRANDTECH

Mike Mesteller and Tito
Tito is a lovable 12-year-old chihuahua-terrier with a big personality and a taste for sunshine. These days, he’s living his best life basking in warm sunbeams or sneaking snacks straight from the garden, with the cucumber plant as his favorite target. Whether he’s soaking up rays or staging a veggie heist, Tito proves that senior pups still know how to keep things playful and delicious.
Amy Hurtado and Cabo
At 4 years old, Cabo the Anatolian Shepherd is always on high alert, keeping a watchful eye over his backyard domain. When he’s not lounging in the sun, he’s dashing through the yard in pursuit of curious critters, always ready for a burst of action. With his loyal nature and playful spirit, Cabo takes backyard adventures to a whole new level.
Mary Lisa Sassano, Nardo and Gia
Meet Nardo and Gia, a spirited pair of Domestic Shorthairs born in February 2024. Adopted about a year ago, these brother-sister besties are inseparably playing hard, napping harder, and always teaming up for their favorite pastime: bug hunting. If a fly enters the house, it’s game over—Nardo and Gia won’t rest until it’s caught. Whether they’re chasing intruders or curled up side by side in a sunny spot, these two prove that life is twice as fun with a friend.
Alex Mangas and Atty
Meet Alex Mangas and his charming calico cat, Atty! Adopted from the SPCA in Ithaca back in 2017, Atty joined the family as a fuzzy solution to a mouse problem—and quickly became much more than that. Now around 11 or 12 years old, she enjoys stalking birds, sneaking snacks of human food, and being pampered with Purina Pro Plan wet meals. While Alex does most of the work during playtime, Atty’s favorite bonding ritual is “tummy time,” where she claims his stomach as her throne and expects absolute stillness. It's clear who runs the house—and Alex wouldn’t have it any other way.
Elva Franco and Lucy
Say hello to Elva Franco’s adorable pup, Lucy! A 10-year-old shichon (that’s a Shih Tzu–Bichon Frisé mix), Lucy has been by Elva’s side since she was a playful little puppy. Though technically in her double digits, Elva tells her she’s only two—and Lucy seems to believe it! She’s always up for an adventure, whether it's a road trip, a spin through the car wash, or a snack break with her beloved Open Farm treats and homemade sweet potato fries. Unsurprisingly, her favorite room is the kitchen—where the treats (and the fun) happen.
Jennifer Hanrahan and Raegan
Introducing Raegan, the beloved black mouth cur of Jennifer Hanrahan! At 10 years old, Raegan has been part of the family for over eight wonderful years since her adoption. She’s happiest when she’s out on a walk or splashing around in her doggie pool on sunny days. Her all-time favorite treat? Cheese—hands down. Whether they’re out exploring or relaxing at home, Jennifer and Raegan are the perfect pair.
