About our Family

The Squatrito family

We welcome you to our family.  We live in Jackpot, Nevada. I am Ruth Kennnison-Squatrito and my husband is Vincent Squatrito.  We have three beautiful boys Hayden, Carson, Finnegan, and Jameson arriving late August or early September.  We have three dogs Ginny, Georgia, Snickers. We also have three cats Clawdia, Stewart Pickles Bottoms, and Waffles. We have several chickens.

Hayden

Hayden is 9 years old.  He is going into 4th grade, which Vincent will be his teacher again. He loves to play with all our animals.  He picks a special puppy from each litter to give extra attention too. Hayden likes to practice obedience with Ginny. 

Carson

Carson is 7 years old. Carson is going into 2nd grade, which Ruth will be his teacher. Carson loves all animals.  He absolutely loves to help take care of the animals. His favorite part is when he gets to help feed them. 

Finnegan

Finnegan is 4 years old.  He is always wanting to play with all the animals regardless if they will try and claw him or maul him. He LOVES to feed the dogs and help mama set up the potty pads for the puppies. 

All three boys are extremely excited for the arrival of their little brother Jameson.  They are always playing together. Some of their favorite activities to do together are playing with the puppies, playing on our trampoline, and playing with all their toys and creating there own games.  They base alot of their games around different tv shows which they watch.  

Ruth

I am an elementary teacher at our school in Jackpot. Animals have always been a passion of mine and I love that I can share this passion with others. Each person that adopts one of our puppies feels like they become an extended member of our family. My goal is to have healthy, happy, well socialized puppies become members of your family.

Vincent

I am also a teacher at our school in Jackpot. Ruth and I were lucky enough to meet in Jackpot and we've loved it ever since. At first I wasn't so sure about raising puppies, but these furry little creatures have wiggled their way into my heart and our family. We feel blessed to share this experience with all of you.
