About Central Bark West Columbia

Anthony and Courtney chose Central Bark because the process and structure of the company makes perfect sense. They believe that their animals (which include two Great Danes- Penny (6) and Luna (1); Trixie (4) a 3-legged shepherd mix; and five cats- Ruby, Sassy, Pebbles, Rusty, and Bengal) and everyone else’s fur babies deserve the best care they can get. Central Bark’s values are in line with what they believe a true whole dog care system should be.

Prior to joining the Central Bark franchise system, Anthony was a supermarket department manager and is currently a sales consultant and Courtney is a high school principal and math teacher. Anthony will be the main person running their location while Courtney continues her educational career.

Anthony enjoys spending time with the pups, working on his car, bowling, and trying to expand their puppy family. Courtney enjoys reading, solving Rubik’s cubes, and stopping Anthony from expanding their puppy family. The couple’s two human children are Maddie (16) and Ryan (15).

“We welcome you to join our Central Bark family.”
