Kate Judge and Mick Moran
were both raised in New York City in neighboring towns, but never met until July 1997 in Los Angeles. In March 2000, after many years of working in the corporate world, Kate decided to make a career change and fulfill her life-long dream of working with dogs. With her family's and Mick's encouragement, Kate enrolled at Animal Behavior University where she apprenticed under a certified dog trainer with over 30 years experience. Kate also worked at another doggie day care where she was responsible for caring for 40+ dogs a day while she became a Certified Dog Trainer conducting group classes and graduating from ABU with Honor Roll Status in January 2001. By May 2001, Kate and Mick were making plans to open up Dogwood which they did in July 2001 and were determined to make the traditional warehouse effect for cage-free kennels a thing of the past. They have accomplished just that with Dogwood and its unbelievably calm environment. Kate and Mick have three dogs, Louie (an Australian Shepherd mix found on the street one very lucky day) and Sandy & Felicia (two little Sheltie mixes adopted from Animal Kind Rescue Group). Kate and Mick and their three dogs are at Dogwood each day and take pride in providing a loving, quiet, comfortable and homelike environment for their canine members.
