My apologies. I usually post an all-staff photo, but at this year’s Christmas party, we had such a good time I totally forgot to have a group pic taken. Happy holidays from DogWood Staff! 🎄We are gathering in January for a whole-staff (25 of us now) CPR and Pet First Aid Course. We have some new staff whom you may not have met yet, but you will love. I promise to get their pics and names to you in early 2025!

There’s a fellowship among dog and cat owners that creates a rare and special community. We had the most amazing evening at DogWood connecting with old friends and making new ones! Thank you to everyone who helped make our 10 year celebration such a success!

DogWood Kennel is owned by a mother-daughter pair who are passionate about animals. We have created an environment where animals feel as if they have a second home. DWK is a place pets want to visit. We want you and your pets to be excited—every time they come. DWK's staff is simply the best - compassionate, fun-loving and animal-centered! Meet their pets and read their profiles in our Gallery collection.
Get to know Pat & Ann
Pat Brettnacher is an animal enthusiast: two horses, four dogs, and a cat make her life fun and furry! She and her husband, Chuck, are farmers who enjoy camping and playing with their grandkids. Pat taught English at Delphi Community High School before retiring to build and manage DWK. Her master's degree from Purdue University is in English Education, so along with her love of animals, she brings an understanding of learning, communication, and organization to the business
Ann Shallenberger is busy with three dogs, a cat, and three children. Ann's husband, Bill, created the waterwall feature in our lobby—come see it! When you visit, you are likely to find one of their three kids greeting guests. They are Brynn, Will, and Lanie. Ann's master's degree from the University of Chicago is in Social Services Administration, and she works in human resources in healthcare. Along with her enthusiasm for animals and people, she adds leadership, training, and management skills to the DWK mix.
