Our Mission.

The Wet Nose Project is committed to the health and happiness of your dog, and the millions of rescue dogs who desperately need to find their forever home. By donating a percentage of proceeds from every walk, we give shelter dogs a new leash on life by funding their transportation and placement with loving homes.

Who We Are.

  • Lindsay Byrne - Founder

    Lindsay earned her degree in Psychology from Roger Williams University, and spent several years working in sales and business development positions for software and recruiting companies. In early 2016, she said farewell to her corporate career in order to pursue her dream of working with dogs and contributing to rescue efforts, and shortly after, The Wet Nose Project was born!

    A lifelong animal lover and caretaker, Lindsay grew up with an English Mastiff, Tanner, who was a whopping 220 lbs! When she's not working you can often find her tending to her many plants, DIY’ing, or enjoying a glass of wine and snuggling with her co-founders Gunnar and Peanut.

  • Gunnar and Peanut - Co-Founders

    Gunnar joined Lindsay and Peanut's little family back in 2011. A mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Vizsla, this handsome boy has energy for days and is one of the fastest dogs we've ever met. He lives up to the Vizsla nickname "Velcro Dog," and sleeps under the covers all year round. He enjoys stealing his brother Peanut's toys, watching Pitbulls and Parolees, and giving excessive kisses.

    Peanut stole Lindsay's heart back in 2007, when he was just 4 months old. Originally named "Buster," she was determined to find a more suitable name and began calling him "Peanut," a name that officially stuck. Though small in size, this little man has no fear. He loves belly rubs, all of his aunties, and being outside regardless of the weather.Description goes here

  • Nicky Colarusso - Dog Walker/Dog Sitter

    Nicky has spent his entire life with different types of pets including dogs. When he’s not playing out on the road or locally with his band, he is spending time with his two French bulldogs Louie & Larry. They are his world!

    In his spare time, Nicky enjoys to go to concerts and all kinds and is a big supporter in the music & the DIY scene in Massachusetts!

  • Annette Najarian - Dog Walker

    Annette and her husband are the parents of two teenagers, and one pup. They love spending time together as a family and creating memories on family vacations.

    She has been a health coach for the past three years, and truly loves both cooking and exercising. When she's not doing any of the aforementioned, she can be found lost in a good book (especially on the beach in the summer!), or listening to podcasts.

    Annette and her family finally got a fur baby of their own almost 5 years ago, and cannot imagine life without a dog. She believes they are truly are angels on earth, and feels so lucky to be able to take care of them at home, through Rover, and now with Wet Nose!
