A native of Oakville, Missouri, Kody Kottmeier can’t recall a time when he wasn’t smitten with dogs. He even made a habit of bringing home dogs that other families could no longer care for to find them homes.
Even as a child his favorite movie was “101 Dalmatians.” Maybe that’s one reason why Kody’s “best bud” is his Dalmatian/American Bulldog mix — Kooper.
Today, as the manager of Kennelwood’s South County location, Kody finds it astonishing to work somewhere where every member of the team shares the same compassion for animals — not to mention Kooper gets to come to work with him — and he says he “can’t imagine working anywhere else.”
