After graduating from Marquette University, Wisconsin native Stacie Shaw faced a cardboard Jack Russell Terrier staring at her in her living room.  Having grown up with dogs, she wanted her own dog to share her life with. However her parents advised against it, saying, "You work such long hours, who will shower your dog with attention and love while you are at the office?"  Thus, Stacie's parents delivered a cardboard terrier to hopefully satisfy her urge for a dog. The terrier was only a temporary solution.

In 1999 Stacie began volunteering with a rescue organization called GRROW (Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin).  Through GRROW she learned of a puppy mill rescue trip to Iowa, and ultimately adopted one of the rescues – a 2 year female golden named Bailey.  Because Bailey led such an abusive, unhappy life prior to being adopted, Stacie sought opportunities for Bailey to gain confidence, trust, friendships, fun and love.  The right place was found at Central Bark Doggy Day Care, where Bailey became a regular. What an amazing difference Central Bark and its staff made in Bailey's life!

That was how it started for Stacie (and Bailey, and later another golden retriever named Hannah). Stacie caught the Central Bark fever and there was no turning back. Meanwhile Stacie kept volunteering for dog-related causes and participating in animal-related courses, to learn all she could about the well-being of our canine friends.

The decision to pursue her dream of opening a Central Bark meant relocating, and Stacie chose the Twin Cities to be her new home. Ms. Shaw transitioned her volunteer efforts to RAGOM (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota) and to Pets with a Purpose, where she and her dogs regularly visit Alzheimer’s patients. Stacie, and her canine consultants Bailey and Hannah, welcome you and your dog to visit Central Bark Eden Prairie and see what a positive impact we have on your dog, and on your parent/dog relationship.

Q: How are the new dog introductions handled?
A: During your dog's behavior assessment we will determine the rate at which your dog is ready for group play. Only when we and the dog are comfortable will group play begin.

Dog of the Month!

Congrats, Sadie!

Eden Prairie, MN March Dog of the Month!

Central Bark Eden Prairie has become completely enamored with an oh so sweet lab mix named Sadie. Though our history together is relatively short, we are already convinced that she is oh so deserving to be our March Dog of the Month. This lovely girl’s history could be a made for TV movie about survival. The details about Sadie’s rescue are a bit sketchy - she was initially found roaming the streets in a town down south in Kentucky or Tennessee. Since that time, Sadie has had the good fortune to make her way to the northern climate and a loving family in Minnesota. Sadie now lives in a warm and cozy home with a mom, a dad, and a big (human) sister named Paige. When Sadie visits Central Bark, her first five minutes or so are relatively calm and reserved. Then look out, the fun and frolic factors register (it is like she figures out where she is), and Sadie is off and running, and greeting her pals. BFFs include Luke, Katie, and Gus. One of Sadie’s signature moves is the sweetest action ever. If a handler stands with empty hands at her sides, she may suddenly feel a furry head under her hand. You guessed it; it is Sadie, stopping by for some individual love and attention. So sweet Sadie, little lady, we are so happy that your folks found us and introduced you to our pack. It is our pleasure to announce your Dog of the Month distinction. Enjoy your time in the spotlight Miss March!
