Carla Cooper’s Profile
This adventure into the Animal community has been a wonderful experience and after bringing back life and energy into my own rescued dogs. I know how important a safe and reliable facility can be to a community. The unconditional love my fur friends gave to me during very trying times was a life saver. I feel it is now my turn to give something back to them. Our dream is to provide a place where dogs go when their family members are working. Along with a place they can be groomed under a more relaxing environment. After visiting several self-dog washes across the country in my travels back and forth from the west coast. This adventure is for the dogs, providing them with a “home away from home” environment. We strive for shorter levels of stress for your pet during grooming, either with our experienced groomer, or do-it-yourself styles of washing that dirty dog away. Giving your fur member the shiny coat they deserve. After all, our pets rely on us to keep them in good health so they can shower us with love and companionship. When my husband and I took the expansion on in 2018-2019 to build out premium suites for our dogs who needed a resort to stay at when their families were away. We concentrated on building bigger spaces and fewer of them so we could really focus our attention on the dogs who book with us. These rooms will never be as big as their homes but they are filled with love and personalized with their own items from home. Our staff is dedicated to their attention and gives them personal interaction each day. Just like all our services we want to put your dog first and have them experience a relaxing and friendly environment.
I was first introduced to Lexi at the ripe ole age of 10 (or 70 in dog years). She was a golden reddish color Chow Chow with a lot of healthcare needs. I rescued an adorable black male Chow Chow, Theo at age two. Both lived very longs lives, Lexi 15yrs and Theo 12yrs. We adopted Ozric our third chow chow in 2010 as a puppy he grew up in our facility here at FTLOD and he truly felt this was his second home. Ozric developed a tumor in his throat that was inoperable, he passed in 2020. Currently we have been fortunate enough in adopting another female Chow Chow named Elvira in 2021. She was born with one eye and came to us at the age of 4 years. Elvira adjusted to the life of a working dog and she enjoys coming in a few days of week with mom. She is on the lazier side and made best friends with Zuul from the groom shop right away!
I hope when you come into our facility you and your pet will enjoy the environment and that the experience keeps you returning to us. We hope to serve our home town for many years to come. Ozric and I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones soon!
