Meet Kono & Pogo, Our Shopkeepers
Kono, featured in his sunglasses, is a rescue through Akita Rescue Mid-Atlantic Region(ARMAC) and the most well-balanced dog on the planet! Kono minds the Ocean City shop and goes to work with Chris daily. In the summertime, he is a celebrity at Sunset Marina and can be spotted on the docks with Anthony. He loves meeting new friends and being told how handsome he is.
Pogo is our newest addition he too loves everyone. You can find Pogo meeting people on the streets in Easton or sometimes he makes his debut in Centreville. You can’t miss either of them especially if they are walking together. The Pino family has been rescuing Akitas for 25 years.
Why Rescue? The Pinos found that rescue dogs are forever grateful despite the unnecessary torment people put them through.
