"During my employment at PPP I worked as a kennel worker, office clerk, dog trainer and groomer. PPP was committed to supporting me before and after my release in a way that none of the other programs I was involved with were. Thanks to the skills I acquired through PPP and the toolset that they provided for me; I was able to obtain full-time employment as a dog groomer shortly after I was released.
As an experienced groomer, I have been able to earn a living wage and be fully financially independent. I love the shop where I work, and I love my job. Every day I am thankful for PPP’s contribution to my success. Words can never express the amount of gratitude I will forever have in my heart for PPP." -Starr
"Starr is the second PPP graduate that I have had the privilege to work with. The training they receive is top notch and fits beautifully with what we offer to our customers at Grateful Dogs.
Starr came to us with a big heart, a love for animals and an incredibly strong work ethic. It has already been almost a year and her skills and value to this company and community continue to grow.
The clients adore her, and she has more request customers than anyone here including me!
I love what PPP is doing and am always ready to meet and work with another graduate. You guys are the best. Thank you."
