A family affair The new venture allows us to be creative and work together. Our 14-year-old son drills holes while Patrick cuts wood. Our 12-year-old daughter loves to sand and stain the furniture. Mom Tabitha helps customers design the perfect crate for their dogs and cats. We transform them into rustic sofa tables, TV stands, banquets, entry and end tables, and accent pieces. We are grateful that Rustic Pup gives us the freedom to homeschool our children and support their competitive dance and tennis sports. Thank you for supporting our family-owned and operated business!
