Seth Sachson

Seth Sachson grew up in the Dallas, Texas suburbs and every breath he took revolved around dogs. He walked dogs, bathed dogs, searched for lost dogs and dreamed about dogs. Eventually, in the spring of 1992, he found himself with a degree in psychology with an emphasis in animal behavior and a big decision: what was he really going to do with his life? His loving, supportive parents suggested that he follow his dreams, taking him to the dog-friendly town of Aspen as a musher at Krabloonik. Not so young any longer, but still pursuing his dreams, Seth has served as the executive director of the Aspen Animal Shelter for over three decades, and lives in Old Snowmass with his wife, Bryna, their two children, Henri and Jules, as well as a menagerie of animals, including goats, horses, chickens and, of course, dogs.
