MEYER'S CANINE COLONY - Key Persons
You gotta love that person in the center of the team, the one who you can depend on for help with everything and anything. That's Donna. She is one of our busiest "behind the scenes" team members and also one of the most calm, pleasant people you will ever meet. But as much as we depend on her, we know one of her most cherished roles in life is that of GRANDMA to precious little Selah.
Little did she know over 30 years ago when meeting Kent at a dog show the ride she was in for and has been by Kent's side helping Meyer's grow to what it is today. Gwen wears a few hats but her greatest accomplishment and joy is being Mom to their son Luke.
If she isn't running the trails on weekends, she is running the lodging areas like the pro she is. Another one of our Rockford natives, she's been whispering to the pets at Meyer's for about a decade; they love her and she certainly has a gift with them. Her humor is one of the many bright spots here around the farm.
Joyce, a Rockford native, will be there to greet you and will personally help you or be served by one of her amazing team. She keep all those details of your dog's custom plan, but what we look forward to the most is when Joyce comes in with FOOD! Great cook for us, her family and grandkids.
Kent is a third generation dog man. Behaviorist, trainer, professional dog handler and the biggest heart for dogs, he's married to his best friend, Gwen, they have a son Luke. This is the best time of his life watching Luke grow.
Michelle has been our lead groomer for over a decade. She styles pets (both dogs & cats) according to owners instructions and standard breed grooming styles. When she is done they always leave looking their best! She says what makes her great is the rest of the Canine Colony team that preps for her.
