Our Humans

Hi there! My name is Sarah Downey. I'm a Denver native and I believe there's a deep connection between exercise, fresh mountain air, and adventure...and having a fuller life, for both dogs and humans. When we go "back to the basics," we are our happiest and healthiest selves. 

Before starting APW in 2019, I worked for a couple start ups after five years in TV development in Los Angeles. I loved this work, and struggled finding balance. The busier I became, the more challenging it was to hold space for my roots—an active outdoor lifestyle, and a slowing down to take the best care of my mind, body, and a very good Golden Retriever.

My experience owning and working with both mix breeds and purebred dogs guides my journey. 

My goal is to help people have a better life through giving their dog the best care. Care that gives nourishment found only in the great outdoors. Care that eliminates the phrase, "I should."

I do this work because I love it. Taking care of your favorite thing on the planet, is my thing.
