COOK OF THE WEEK - STYLIN' POOCH

Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/31/2016 - 7:14am

“Stylin’ Pooch” is a Dog Boarding, Grooming and Rescue run by Kim Colwell. When I visited her I could tell she really loves and cares for all the animals she works with. Stylin’ Pooch Dog Boarding and Grooming is a licensed business and is for all dogs. She is dedicated to finding true forever homes for all the rescues that walk through her doors.
Kim has two daughters who are just as much animal lovers and caretakers as their mother. Payton is in seventh grade this year and Marlo is in kindergarten this year.
I didn’t get to meet Highway in person or should I say “in PIG.” Highway was roaming freely back in some of their grove. But I understand she has grown a lot since the early story about Highway was written. I understand she weighs in at approximately 600 pounds now.
