Bethany Wise
I have loved animals my entire life and grew up knowing I wanted to work with them. When I was 9 I joined 4-H and started raising Guide Dog Puppies. That experience really helped me get out of my shell and learn how to work with dogs. In 1997, at 16, I was hired as a Bather at a large retail pet store. I was hooked! 6 months later I was a full fledged Groomer. Since that time I have worked at that store and two others. The last salon I was at for over 13 years. Dogs are my passion and getting to open my own salon is a dream come true! My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and like they are in their own home.
