Michelle Mayclin

Michelle Mayclin, the owner and operator of Sniff and Wiggles in Petaluma, has spent over 30 years in customer service, always guided by a deep understanding of people—and an even deeper love for dogs. That passion began early, with her childhood dog Missy, and has grown into a lifelong devotion to canine care and rescue.

Throughout her life, Michelle has shared her home and heart with dogs. Today, Cooper and Lexi are her beloved companions, and they continue to inspire her mission: to give dogs the love, safety, and second chances they deserve.

With Fur Angels Dog Rescue, Michelle is turning her lifelong commitment into action by rescuing and rehoming dogs in need. Her focus is on creating safe, nurturing spaces where dogs can heal, connect, and thrive—whether they are being rescued from shelters, neglect, or abandonment.

Backed by compassion, experience, and a deep respect for each dog's unique story, Michelle's goal is simple: to make sure every dog that crosses her path is treated like family.

Because at Fur Angels, every tail has a story—and every story deserves a happy ending.
