Camp K9 Farm Retreat Owner/Operator-

Shannon Crossman

​

Shannon grew up in Shawnigan Lake, BC and is an owner of two very energetic, herding dogs named Sancho and Dekker. She is dedicated in providing reliable, safe professional care for your canine companions with a high level of priority on always continuing her education and knowledge so she can be the best possible dog professional she can be.

​

Prior to opening Camp K9 Farm Retreat, Shannon gained work experience in the dog care industry while operating her own dog hiking business in South Cowichan for a wonderful 10 years. Unfortunately due to a work-related injury, she was no longer able to hike daily with her packs. Knowing that there was no other job she ever wanted to do but canine care, Camp K9 Farm Retreat was launched in July 2022. She envisioned creating something different from the traditional daycare model and free from the problems that can come with them. A place with a clear focus on overall canine wellness and wellbeing so her client dogs can live their best lives possible. If Shannon is not busy working, you can find her active with her own dogs, tending to her farm animals, spending time with her daughter and husband, hiking, mushroom hunting, foraging, gardening, homesteading, biking and enjoying family time.
