All the money we raise will go towards covering our medical expenses for 2025. On average, we spend $75,000 a year on our medical expenses, this includes all vet visits, surgeries, medical emergencies & treatment, vaccines, medication, etc.

Your donations are so extremely important for us to keep our doors open and doing what we do. We are a 501c3 nonprofit that does not receive any government funding. We rely solely on donations.

Morey was transferred to us from another shelter that had an emergency situation. He is a sweet and spunky senior rottie, but he has severe arthritis. We are working with our vet on a management program to keep him happy and comfortable. Your donations allow us to help more animals like Morey.

This SWEET SWEET baby Oscar needs a 🏡! Look how adorable he is! 😍

Oscar is a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie), and is on the petite side. He does have a cleft palate, but it doesn’t affect him at all! He has the greatest personality and is just a love bug! He just turned a year old.
If you are interested or know someone who wants to give this baby a home, please message me and I will put you in touch!

Last weekend I attended a Coat Carving and Coloring seminar, with our own MN favorite groomer Holly Baker and Alicia Mulac (Chicago). I learned to carve a bat wing, color the northern lights, and see a dragon be born!
How fun are these creative groomings!
I am going to be adding a boujee package for anyone who wants it. Painted nails, earrings, jewels, BLING!
And I would love to start practicing some coat carving, so cute little designs anyone comes up with, I would love to try! 🐾

💔My heart breaks for these babies.
They have been groomed by Soapy Puppy's Bed & Biscuit LLC, and they did an amazing job! If anyone adopts one of these babies, I would also like to tag on to help and give a special groom package for them! Humane Society of Otter Tail County

Your life only goes up from here babies! Keep fighting! ❤️

US Pet Pro Classic Weekend 🐾

I attended the US Pet Pro Classic in Dallas TX, with Stevie Jo Elliott last weekend. We had so much fun and learned even more!

We got to visit the Fort Worth Stockyards, which has always been a bucket list place for me! 🤠

We attended two more Certificate classes, one being Handstripping Techniques by Scott Wasserman, and the other being Canine & Feline Nutrition by Dr. Anoosh.

We got to meet up with our mentors Dr. Cliff Faver and Suzanne Marchetti with Iv San Bernard from our cPAE courses. Also, our mentors, Pam Lauritzen and Scott Lauritzen, through ISCC, who we are currently getting our Master Pet Stylist through (highest certification for groomers). It’s so great to actually connect with them on personal levels! I am grateful to have them in my corner.

I also got to fan girl with some of my favorite groomers in this industry (yes, we have famous groomers 😉), Jess Adorno and Minnesota’s own Holly Baker (pictured with her competition Dandie Dinmont Terrier). I am actually attending another seminar this coming weekend, hosted by Holly Baker about creative grooming and competition! Can’t wait!!

It was such a great weekend!! I also bought some new fun grooming products and equipment! 😁

Mowgli 🤎🤍

I don’t talk a lot about what products I use, but thought I should start sharing! ☺️

Iv San Bernard, top quality shampoo and conditioner!! This is also who I am getting my cPAE (pet aesthetician) certification from.
You can see how his brown looks richer, white looks brighter, and his coat lays down so nicely! 🤩

It really does make a difference what products we as groomers use, our continued education, and knowledge about the industry. Stay tuned for an update on my weekend in Texas at the US Pet Pro Classic!!
