A few days before competing in her second Ironman Lake Placid triathlon, longtime Rye resident Melissa and her husband John were browsing along the main street shops looking for a souvenir to bring home to their rescue dog, Bruno. After finding a paltry selection of Ironman-themed items for pups, Melissa had an ah-ha moment, and the idea for Trihound.com was formed.
“Dogs are always at triathlons and marathons and I decided these four-legged spectators deserved their very own line of customized, branded endurance-themed gear,” said Melissa.
As a passionate animal lover, rescue advocate, and donor to many animal causes, Melissa decided that a main mission of Trihound, LLC should be supporting a local animal charity. They’ll donate 20 percent of all profits to the New Rochelle Humane Society.
