The owner of K9 R&R, Alissa Smith, started the business in order to provide a unique place that would be stress-free, serene, and a fun place for pets. Alissa is involved daily in both the front and back end of the business, and has a special bond with each of the pets that stay at K9 R&R.
Alissa has a 100% success rate of connecting with and earning the trust of any shy/ aggressive/ anxious/ fearful dog. She's always been able to communicate with animals in a way that makes them feel safe.
Alissa graduated with degrees in Animal Care & Management Technology, Animal Control Services, and Animal Husbandry.
Fun fact: Alissa is very allergic to dogs. When she was younger, she received an allergy shot weekly for 10 years so that she could work with animals!
