As the founder of Dreadlocks for Dingoes in 1995, I bring over 30 years of dedicated service to the pet grooming industry. Specializing as a rehab specialist, I have a deep passion for transforming the lives of pets that others might find challenging—whether they are aggressive, hard to handle, disabled, or recovering from past traumas. My commitment extends to animals that have been neglected or injured, ensuring they receive not just physical grooming but also emotional reassurance to help them feel safe and cared for.

​

Outside the grooming studio, I am accompanied by Stills, my loyal German Shepherd and hearing service dog. Stills plays a crucial role in my life, alerting me to sounds I cannot hear myself, such as fire alarms and phone rings. Despite his responsibilities, Stills has a playful side that emerges at the sight of his favorite toy — a ball. His serious service dog demeanor vanishes, and it’s all about fun!

​

At home, Stills follows a species-specific diet, thriving on a carefully balanced regimen of raw meats. His favorite treats are No Hides, and he’s known to humorously 'negotiate' for them at work, engaging in a determined stare-down by the box until he gets what he wants.

​

Together, we navigate the complexities of both human and canine worlds, fostering a community at Dreadlocks for Dingoes where every pet, no matter their past or condition, can find care and love.
