Shenandoah and Gary Stipe began All Gods Creatures Grooming in a season where you could either choose fear or faith. Our dream became reality on February 01, 2011 when our first rental space of 350 sq ft opened. Shenandoah just wanted to groom dogs the way she had been taught and with some changes she made in the years she had worked prior. At that time she had 10 years experience and was well aware of what she liked and did not like from various work environments. Her initial dream was just a place to groom dogs, then it grew and grew and grew. AGC has been voted #1 groom shop in Kokomo Indiana multiple years running since 2016, Our philosophy is simple, be honest with the client. Teach them more about what we know, so they can take better care of pets. Over these past 14 years our daughter Tessa came on board and made our reputation even better. Family owned and operated but also independent contractors that are able to thrive running their own small space within AGC. As the shop grew so did the reality that we are not getting any younger. Looking toward slowing down in grooming but not abandoning the craft she loves Shenandoah decided teaching was the next logical step.

Since Shenandoah had taught many groomers over the years as apprentices why not become a school. Not just any school but a Vocational school with hands on learning from day 1. Yes some sit down work, yes, some tests, but mostly hands on training and then a final exam.

On Feb 01, 2024 we will be adding 2/14 week sessions a year for 2 students each session.
