Hello,
I’m Sandi
Welcome to Shear Grace.
Shear Grace Grooming was inspired by the grace of God that has guided my life and work. I am a stay-at-home wife and mom to two toddlers, and our home is also filled with the joy (and chaos!) of our three Poodles.
I run an in-home grooming salon where dogs are cared for one-on-one in a calm, low-stress environment — never rushed through a busy back-to-back schedule. My focus is always gentle handling, quality grooming, and building trust with each dog.
My long-term goal is to use a portion of the income from my services and educational resources to provide free grooming for severely matted dogs in need, helping them find comfort and a fresh start.
