I am back as the Kennel Manager! I previously worked at Family Dog Center for about 5 years. I'm very excited for the future of Family Dog Center and can't wait to reconnect with your fur babies!

Kinsey
Best of Luck To Kinsey—She has been a superstar with us for 3+ years and now is off to college in River Falls. She will be missed by the dogs who adore her, the customers who love her and the staff who won’t know what to do without her! She has been such a large part of Family Dog Center and will be greatly missed. She will be back to see her buddies over her school breaks. We wish her the best!!

I work as a Kennel Attendant. I began working with a variety of animals
through volunteer work in between military moves, and I'm passionate about
working with and taking care of animals. Outside of work, I enjoy playing
with my own dog and running.

I am a kennel attendant here at Family Dog Center. I love getting to know every dog that comes in our door! In my freetime I like to hangout with friends, family, and my own two dogs ChiChi and Floyd.
We would like to welcome several new staff members to our team-Katherine and Ella. They be starting with us in October helping care for
your fur babies. When you get a chance, please stop in to meet them and
introduce yourself.
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge----The hardest
part of loving a pet is saying goodbye and we have had to say good bye to
several of our four-legged buddies over the past few weeks. Our hearts go
out to their families and we express our deepest sympathies to everyone
knowing what a difficult time this is for everyone. Hoping you can find
comfort with the fact that the love you shared will always remain in your
heart.
Max Chopra and Baby and Lucy Fenton and Carson Hernandez-
They will be truly missed as they were a big part of our family at Family Dog Center.
