About the Owner – Joey Padilla
Santa Fe native Joey Padilla, CPDT-KA, CTC, graduated from the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers, known worldwide as the premier dog training school.
Since opening Santa Fe Tails in 2008, Joey has given back to the community through his work specializing in animal behavior and dog socialization. Many dogs awaiting adoption from the animal shelter have been placed in the care of Santa Fe Tails to improve social skills and challenging behaviors to help increase the dogs’ chances of finding a forever home.
In Memoriam – Hannah Glass, Co-Founder of Santa Fe Tails
Every day we remember one of our Co-Founders, Hannah Glass, for her tireless efforts to help the dogs in our community. A graduate of San Francisco State University with a BS in Zoology, she dedicated her life to bettering the lives of animals. From training, to fostering, and later becoming the Director of Behavior and Training at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, her mission never faltered.
We sadly lost Hannah in April of 2024 but her legacy lives on in the continued efforts of the staff at Santa Fe Tails.
