The Owner / Operator
Michele Bain (owner/operator)…
… not only loves animals of all kinds, but she has years of practical, hands-on experience dealing with them. Michele has been operating Shadowbrook Kennels for 12 years, and was also the Glanbrook District Animal Control Officer for 14 years (prior to HAC taking over the contract). She has been active in dog sport for years (flyball, agility, tracking) and obedience training. As well, she has bred and raised German Shepherds and sheep.
Animals play an important part of Michele’s personal life, as well. She currently cares for 4 dogs, and 3 cats as well as a coop full of chickens and a field full of sheep. Her pond is home to a pair of swans, and an assortment of rescued ducks.
All of this has provided Michele with a great deal of experience in interacting with animals of all breeds, ages and temperaments. She is also extensively trained in animal 1st Aid and emergency procedures, as well as disease control.
Michele is a member of the CKC, GSD Club of Canada, Hamilton Dog Obedience Club, American Paint Horse Association and the Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency. And Shadowbrook Kennels is a regular “People’s Choice” and “Reader’s Choice” award winner!
