Mission Ready Retrievers, Ltd. Our passion is helping others through top quality service, therapy, or companion retrievers. There has never been a shortage of animals in my life. years!

I fostered my love for working with animals early on as a “puppy raiser” for Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan. But, my passion for animals doesn’t just include dogs. Horses have been a part of my life since childhood. I currently share my home, life, and bank account with 2 pups, Stryker and Lucy, along with my horse, Calvin. I’ve also had over 25 foster dogs of all ages since the

fall of 2021. I decided to formally start my dog training endeavors after my Golden Retriever, Lucy (who suffers from too much joy) and I, began exploring the world of Nose Work! Professionally working with dogs has always been a dream, and after serving the US Army and establishing my career as a high school math teacher I am finally able to turn that dream into a reality. I am a graduate of the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and achieved my Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) certification in 2022. Being a veteran myself, who knows the healing power of animals, my ultimate goal is to help other veterans benefit from therapy and service dogs. On my journey to this goal, I noticed a great need for healthy, well-bred dogs that have gone through the proper health and temperament testing and have been worked with since birth in a way to give them the best chance of successfully becoming service or therapy dogs. Many veterans sit on waiting lists to receive a service dog for years…. I quickly learned that training service dogs wouldn’t be enough and we also needed to contribute to the working dog candidates. That need brought us to where we are now, expecting our first litter the week of November 8th. I’m looking forward to sharing all aspects of our journey. Stay tuned!

Someone got a bath and a new collar all his own. He even knew what “sit” meant… but clearly not how to pose for a photo to show his growling fan club his new collar. I’m falling for Beetle Bug already ❤️

Jovie decided to take her mom to Boone Docks Dog Diving and show her what it was all about. Allie didn’t quite work up the nerve to jump from a dock, but she still enjoyed swimming around and trying to steal toys from her own baby.

If you’re new here, this is Bailey. My whole heart. He was adopted from Lake Humane Society in 2013. What you all might not know is, on the day I went to go meet with Bailey, the shelter was closed due to an event. As I was getting ready to leave, the Humane Society‘s van pulled up. Out pops Bailey - was the only dog not adopted at the event that day. That “last dog on the truck” changed my world. I could bore you with the long, sappy details, but places like this rely on events to keep changing others’ lives. Lake Humane hosts a “healthy” fundraising competition every year for Mutt Strut. This winner also gets their pup’s picture on the event shirts and thing for the follow year. I think it’s time for a reminder about who Mr. B was and what he meant to so many. Help me get him plastered everywhere at next year’s event. Follow the link to donate. Everyone who donates to our team will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card. Follow the link below! ❤️
