‼️Exciting Announcement‼️

Ellie's Critter Corral is now offering full grooming services!!

Meet Renee, "The groomer"
Renee actually started with us earlier this year so some of you may have already had the pleasure of meeting her. She has been working alongside myself to learn the ropes, as well as grooming a few dogs each week to help settle into a good routine. She has been a HUGE help around the kennels and I am so happy to have her join the ECC team!

Renee completed and received her grooming certification in 1996. She has had a love for animals her entire life. She currently has 6 dogs and 3 cats of her own. She enjoys working with all pets and breeds. Her grooming style is a calm and gentle approach while also making it a fun and positive experience for your fur babies.
She is comfortable accepting most puppies, senior pets, handicapped pets, and even babies with big attitudes. I am always available to assist if she has a pet requiring two sets of hands as well. We are also happy to add on a full grooming service or just an exit bath for any boarding stays as well! Reach out to get on our schedule! Hope to spoil your fur babies soon!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We had a bit of storm damage and clean up is taking longer than expected due to limbs laying on the power lines. Thankfully we still have power and A/C so we are good to go, just waiting on the power company to fix the lines. Please bear with us and ignore the mess as we have a lot of cleanup to do. As always, thank you all so much for your continued support!! 🐕🐈🐩🐈‍⬛

🐈Also, wanted to mention I am booking out 1-2 months in advance so please reach out sooner rather than later for any summer boarding plans!!
🐩As always, thank you all so so much for your support and trusting us with your sweet furry family members! Hope everyone has the best summer! 🐶🐱

Just a reminder for everyone as we go into 2026. I operate by appointment ONLY
Mon-Sat 8am-11am & 2pm-5pm
Sun 2pm-5pm only.
Please notify us via text @ 417-259-2620 asap if your scheduled time needs to change.
Late fees will apply after a 10-minute grace period.
It is very important to keep a strict schedule as I operate primarily solo and have to ensure all pets are in their kennel prior to you arriving.

Also, a few policy updates and important information....
**Prices will be Increasing as of June 1st, 2026. Any reservations made for June 1st through the remainder of the year will be at increased rates. The new rates will be $30 per night for the first dog & $25 per night for any additional dogs (multi-pet discount).
*I will now be implementing a late fee for anyone over 10 minutes late without notice. So sorry about this, but it has become a major issue and throws off my whole schedule.
*I will also be sending a generic reminder text the day before each appointment for confirmation of scheduled times.

**Updates will be emailed and posted on our page. Please follow us on Facebook and provide an updated email address at your next visit to stay up to date on all new announcements. We do have some exciting new things in the works!!

*We will be making a few updates to the lobby area over the next few weeks so please bear with us as we make some changes.

***We will be offering full grooming services very soon!!! We are so excited about this new edition and cannot wait to spoil your fur babies with a relaxing haircut and bath! Grooming schedule to be determined and more information to come soon!

*If you have anyone in your family interested in volunteering or an internship with us, please have them reach out! I would love to speak with them!

*My family and I have several vacations planned this year and I may be closed a little more than normal. This includes being closed over Christmas this year. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause! I promise this will not be a regular thing. Grooming schedule TBD during these times and dates are subject to change slightly. This also depends on business growth and new staffing as well.

*I will be closed on or around:

May 4th-12th

Sept. 8th-14th

Dec. 24th-30th

Thank you all so much for your cooperation and understanding! I appreciate your support and love each and every one of the furry friends I get the pleasure of caring for!
