Bark 'n Good Time

Hello, I'm Denise, Owner of Bark'N Good Time. We hope that you will be joining our family. I have more than 25 years of experience with pets. I have always had a passion for animals. We always had at least one dog and they ranged in breeds from the St.Bernard to Yorkshire Terriers. I've also had a cat, hamsters, and several birds that I adored. Over 200 foster dogs through my house and many different breeds and personalities on my grooming table has afforded me invaluable experience with various medical needs, behaviors and personalities. I received First Aid training at LaBest and I have also received my Red Cross Certificate in Pet First Aid. I joined National Brittany Rescue & Adoption Network as a foster home. I then became the MO Coordinator, Chief Fundraiser and an officer on the Board. I was afforded the opportunity to assist at a grooming shop, Canine Clips, with bathing and prepping dogs, thus my career in pet styling began. I went to LaBest Academy of Animal Arts and earned my Derma-Tech Specialist and Pet Stylist Certificate. After I graduated from school I took over a grooming shop. I ran this shop and gained a lot of experience with various dogs and a few cats until my lease ended. This was my chance to do what I really WANT to do and spend time with animals. I will continue grooming, on a limited basis, but my passion is to allow pets to stay in their own home while I care for them, as well as, getting dogs out for walks and adventures. Getting wet dog kisses and hearing the sounds of a purring cat is my definition of a dream job. I am a guardian to two wonderful dogs and also continue to foster, I also run the online store with NBRAN. Bandit is my French Brittany that I adopted after fostering him. He is a wonderful boy and we will never understand why he had been in a shelter for so long. Radar was also adopted from NBRAN after I had pulled him from the Peoria, IL shelter.… Read more
