I am blessed enough to be the manager of this amazing facility and hard working staff. I also started a rescue group in 2014 because I have such a strong passion for animals. I couldn't be more blessed to have the opportunity to lead such hard working animal loving people. The animals safety and well being is my first priority. Their mental and physical health is something my staff works hard to maintain. They are each trained in pet health and safety along with handling as well. We take our job seriously and realize the trust you place in us by them your fur kids in our care. I am a tough but fair leader. I am old school with my work ethic and expect professionalism when it comes to our responsibilities. However, I deeply love my GK staff family and would give them the shirt off my back because Graced Kennel is what it is because of our dedicated staff. It's not a job that all can handle but those that can are a unique group of people it's been an honor to know. As far as the animals go, I am a canine trainer as well. I have been taking care of animals for 12 years professionally and it's what I live for. We all become very attached to the animals in our care. We have cried when those that have our lives their time here pass on or when another chapter leads them to travel to other places with their family. We celebrate when your fur kids overcome milestones or add a new fur or human family member to the pack. You see everyone here puts animals before we put ourselves because that is what put us here to do. I spend more time with the animals and staff of Graced kennel than I do with my own family. We work long hours, sometimes in the rain, heat or cold. We walk and eat because we put your animals needs above our own. I am proud of my staff and the dedicated customers that continue to keep Graced kennels going. You guys rock!
