Denise Sparrow has always had a heart for dogs. As a kid living in Minnesota her family owned a St. Bernard named Ollie. Denise’s family always had at least one dog and they ranged in breeds from the St. Bernard to Yorkshire Terriers. Before joining National Brittany Rescue in 2002 Denise had been grieving over the loss of her beloved pet of 15 years, Belushi, a German Shepherd. Denise always wanted to help dogs but, working many hours in the corporate world, didn’t afford her the opportunity for a career change so she joined rescue as a foster home. Denise quickly became the MO Coordinator, Chief Fundraiser and was voted on to the Board. Denise has also mentored children at Marygrove Children’s Home and spoke for the child when she was a volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). In her “real” job she was the manager of the CitiHome Equity Command Center and was responsible for maintaining over 100 toll free numbers, producing statistical information, developing and writing procedure, she implemented eWorkforce Management eSchedule Planner, researched and resolved any telephony issues, managed 4 employees and more. Denise was laid off, after a 15 year career, in the corporate world. A volunteer with NBRAN suggested she check with PJ at The Dawg Trainer and Canine Clips to find out if she could use some assistance. After assisting PJ with bathing and prepping dogs, PJ suggested she begin a career in pet styling. Denise began learning from PJ until which time she went to LaBest Academy of Animal Arts. She has since graduated from school and was the only student ever in LaBest history to pass every test the first time. Denise is a member of International Society of Canine Cosmetologists (ISCC) and Canine Political Action Corp (CPAC). Denise enjoys the quiet farm atmosphere of Canine Clips and loves to pamper the pets.
