Making new best friends since 2011

We want the best for our pack and yours.

Helping animals live their best life.

Inspired by our own pack, we want to build experiences that help all animals live an amazing life, starting with pups.

The Pack inc. Vision - “To become the largest, most comprehensive, trusted, and convenient animal service provider in the world - connecting animal caregivers with everything needed to ensure a fulfilling and happy life for loved ones of all species - while having fun along the way.”

Partners in life & The Pack Inc.

The Pack Inc. is owned and operated by Ben Hills and Carla Fuenzalida-Hills. When their relationship started in 2011, Carla had a Rottweiler named Madison and Ben a couple of rescues, Molimo and Mitch - otherwise known as the OG M’s. The Pack Inc. Logo has 3 paw prints with the letter M in each one, signifying the 3 OG M’s. Their portraits are also showcased in The Dog Stay logo. Carla and Ben referred to themselves with the M’s as “The Pack” from the beginning of their relationship. Since then, other members including a bearded dragon, a stray/adopted cat, and parrots rescued from the sanctuary Carla volunteered at for 6 years joined the pack. After the passing of the OG M’s in 2021, all 13 years old, all consecutive months, a big hole was left in Carla and Bens heart. Although there is no such thing as replacing them, there is such a thing as honoring them. The pack continues with the introduction of the new M’s - Marla and May. Inspired by the love of the pack (and the name), Carla and Ben vowed to make it their mission to try to help out more animals. This Journey started with the creation of The Pack Inc. and acquisition of The Dog Stay in May 2023. Honoring the OG M’s, the journey of The Pack continues.

Meet Carla and Ben’s Current Pack

  • Caesar

    Caesar is a beautiful green winged macaw, estimated to be over 40 years old. He bonded with Carla when she started at the Parrot Sanctuary in 2015. He never learned to fly because he was caged his entire life. After he was attacked while at the sanctuary, Carla and Ben took him home from the hospital in 2020. He now spends his time doing puzzels, getting spoiled, singing songs, and walking around an aviary, and the house with the dogs.

  • Baby Blue

    Baby Blue was adopted as a chick in 2019, and had to be hand fed. She is a blue Indian Ringneck and was brought in to be a companion for Fiona who was depressed after her sister passed away. Baby Blue LOVES to say Pic-a-boo and what are you doing. They took over a room that now houses an aviary for them to spread their wings. Although she loves calling Pearl the cat over to play and doing tricks.

  • Fiona

    Fiona is an albino Indian Ring Neck, where her and her sister, Blanca, were in bad shape and dropped off at the sanctuary. The sanctuary didn’t have room so Carla and Ben took them in. Blanca passed away, and Fiona has a renewed joy in life with her friend Baby Blue, who can also be a handful but they love each other and sleep next to one and other. Fiona loves mirrors, baths, and treats. Although names after an ogre, she is super sweet.

  • Marla

    Marla is a wonderful rescue that was found in a dumpster in Alabama. She did not trust people and hated leashes. You could never tell at this point given she wants nothing more than to cuddle and go for walks - a pro on the leash. She is an amazing swimmer although she doesn’t prefer to swim any longer. She also loves doing puzzles, chewing her chew toys and taking care of her stuffed octopus.

  • May

    May was adopted from a rescue foundation in May, and oddly enough was born the same day that Molimo passed away. She is extremely smart, and loves to use the talking board to say what she wants which is mostly food, and walks - with the occasional belly rub. She is also likely part cat as she sleeps quite a bit, and doe so belly up. She also hates to be ignored and lets you know - as she hits “MAY” on the talking board.

  • Pearl

    Pearl joined the pack in 2018 when the adopted stray, Mocha, never came back from a long adventure. Pearl loves hanging out with all of the animals, in particular, Caesar, Baby Blue, and Fiona. Who knew cats and birds could get along so well. Pearl loves scratch posts, messing with Marla, and going outside exploring, although those trips are supervised.
