🎃 Meet Our Next Featured Community Carver in the Great Pumpkin Carve-Off Fundraiser: Kirk Brennaman! 🎃
Kirk is the founder of Down and Dirty Dog Training, an Army veteran, and a former police K9 handler with a passion for helping dogs and their owners succeed.
Since founding Down and Dirty Dog Training in 2021, Kirk has used his experience and expertise to serve families throughout our community. He also spent three years volunteering at the Effingham County Animal Shelter, where he worked alongside local inmates to train shelter dogs and help improve their chances of finding loving homes.
Kirk is also training CMOP’s very own Therapy Dog in Training, Sugar!
Kirk’s hands-on experience, commitment to service, and genuine love for dogs are at the heart of everything he does. When he isn’t working with dogs, you’ll find him enjoying the outdoors, spending time with his own pups, or hitting the golf course.
We’re excited to welcome Kirk to CMOP’s Great Pumpkin Carve-Off Fundraiser! 🐾
🧡 Beginning October 1, every $1 donated equals one vote for Kirk and helps support the Children’s Museum of Pooler’s exhibits, educational programs, and hands-on learning experiences for children and families.
Will Kirk’s pumpkin skills be as impressive as his dog-training skills? Cast your votes and help him compete for the Pumpkin Royalty crown! 👑
