Tori Pugh

Tori Pugh has been part of the Paws and Think team for three years. Her journey with dogs began at age 14 when she started training her two American Bulldogs, Ricky and Lucy, sparking a passion that led her to continue learning and working with dogs in Indianapolis.

At Paws and Think, Tori enjoys combining her human services background with her training experience to make a meaningful impact in the community. She especially loves teaching Thursday therapy dog classes, where she can connect with people and dogs to create positive, supportive learning environments.

Tori currently shares her home with two dogs: Leena, an American Bulldog, and Vinny, a mixed breed. On weekends, you can often find her competing with them in dog sports such as dock diving, barn hunt, and Fast CAT.

Tori is proud to be part of an organization that celebrates the human–animal bond and looks forward to continuing to grow alongside the Paws and Think community.
