Rick Delgado
Pack Leader (Owner)

Rick grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, as an athletic kid who played ice hockey, football, ran track, and lifted weights. His family always had pets—dogs, birds, and rescued cats.

He moved to California at 17, working in automotive painting before managing a shop. Later, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Conservation Biology and volunteered at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.

A devoted pet lover, Rick cares for his dog Gracey, two cats, and six chickens. While studying, he walked dogs and pet sat, which led him to start The Woof Pack in 2005. Today, Rick leads the company and, although he no longer does visits, still loves caring for animals.
