INSIDE LIZHOLLAND’SHOME TURNEDANIMAL SANCTUARY

6 DOGS, 4 CATS, AND 1 AMAZING LYNNPRO SALES REPRESENTATIVE

If you’ve placed an order with us recently, odds are you’ve spoken to Liz Holland, our all-star sales representative and customer service guru. Liz knew Jeff and his family long before she started working for Lynnpro, and when she came on board years ago to work in our design department, she was a great fit. Eventually, Jeff realized how fantastic Liz was at working with people and moved her into the customer service department. It’s been a match made in heaven ever since. “I really enjoy listening to people and helping them find solutions to their problems,” Liz says. “In my day to day, I talk to clients about their designs, their events, and what will work well for them. Then I go over the services we provide and try to get them the best possible rate and product they can get. I love talking to our clients; we work with so many different kinds of fun people.” Liz does a great job of patiently helping our clients through the ordering process, and she’s equally generous with her spare time. When she’s not at the office, she volunteers with local animal fostering and rescue organizations. Right now, she has six dogs and four cats at home! Her menagerie includes …

Dogs: • Bocelli, a 15-year-old greyhound retired from racing • Roxy, a 14-year-old boxer • Barf, a 13-year-old pit bull whose name cracked Liz up when she was 18 • Lulu, a 6-year-old bichon frise/Yorkie mix • Bane, a 5-year-old pit bull • Cognus, a hairless, 4-year-old Chinese crested named for the “Star Wars” villainess Cats: • Fat Polly, a chubby polydactyl cat with an extra toe on each paw • Bella, a sweet gray cat who also sports thumbs • Papa Nubs, another smoky polydactyl with a bobbed tail • Bruce Willis, a tiny female tortoiseshell “My pets take up a lot of my free time,” Liz says. We can definitely believe it! When she’s not looking after her flock, you can find Liz gardening, painting, drawing, or sipping a cold beer.
