🩵 One Year of Dreams, Dogs, and Doing What I Love 🩵
My journey in the rescue community started back in 2019 when I adopted my own pup. From there, I was hooked. I volunteered with several local rescues and fostered well over 100 dogs! But as my sweet boy grew older, he became a little less tolerant of the constant revolving door of foster pups coming in and out of the house.
I knew I couldn't stop helping, but I needed a new way to do it. So, I did a complete 180 with my life. I changed careers and learned how to groom! 🐾
I started using my new skills to give back to local shelters and rescues, and I quickly developed a dream: I wanted a career where I could work daily with my hands and give back to the animals who needed it most.
One year ago TODAY, that dream became a reality.
I came in for a “working interview” at The PUPStop by Saving with Soul Pet Rescue, groomed a few of their sweet pups, and saw the exact room that would allow me to chase my dreams. Within three weeks, we had The Groom Room all set up, and the very first of many clients was on my table! ✂️🧼
Every single day, I work hard to show love to every client's pup who walks through my door, and extra love to all the deserving (and sometimes very stinky!) rescue pups at The PupStop. This past year has been absolutely amazing. I get to build a life for myself by giving back, and I honestly can’t wait to see what the next year holds as I continue to learn, develop my skills, and heal hearts every day.
A massive, heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Allan Hagedorn for giving me the chance to change the world for every dog I get to meet. 🩵
Here’s to year two! 🥂🐕✨
