BOW WOW BED & BREAKFAST built and established in November 1998 by present owner, Christy Booker.
~CHRISTY BOOKER, Owner & Manager~ Things about her: Practiced as a registered nurse before opening the boarding kennel business so she could be a"stay at home Mom". Very active in her church and music ministry. Has a passion for serving the community and has a special love for caring for other people's most beloved treasures and companions- their pets! Committed to making Bow Wow the most unique, caring, healthy and friendly place to come!	~HISTORY OF BOW WOW BED & BREAKFAST~ (words from Christy) The business started out as a small boarding home-based business just 100 feet behind my house. The original building was only 468 square feet and contained 10 indoor/outdoor boarding runs. I ran the business by myself until my twin pregnancy came. In March 2002, I hired my first employee to help with the business. That person was also a professional groomer and thus began the grooming department! Steady and sure the business kept growing and customers increased mostly by word of mouth from friends and local vets. Very little outside advertising was needed. We were excited to serve the community and it seemed the community was excited to find us! Soon after 2 years from the time grooming was added to the business, we decided to add onto the existing building. In the summer of 2004, Bow Wow Bed & Breakfast had 3 employees and all were helping with the boarding and grooming depatments. That summer we added on 864 square feet to the building. This gave us a new comfortable grooming area, a new office area and added 15 new kennel runs to the boarding area.
~ESTHER KAUFFMAN, Head Groomer~ Esther has been grooming for 30 years. She owned Fido's Finery in Fort Wayne for 9 years. She now owns Sharbelle Originals, a company that makes and sells grooming accessories. Also known as "Ma K"! She is a delight to know and brings light and spirit to Bow Wow as she leads the grooming team!	~JEN GIRTON, Professional Groomer & Kennel Caretaker~ Jen is great pet handler and loves her job. She's full of spunk and personality! Grooms all breeds on Monday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturdays for those customers that need appointments that don't interfere with work schedules.

She is our primary caretaker of the boarding dogs in the kennel. You will first meet her gentle personality over the telephone as she handles your reservations and appointments, and then later you and your doggie will meet her smiling face as she greets you at the door for service!
