Meet The Staff

Krystine Weum

Krystine grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota where she was able to have and care for an array of animals ranging from rabbits to horses. She graduated from Chiropractic College and spent 25 years caring for her patients nutritionally, structurally, and through guided exercise programs. During that time, not only helping her patients, she also started working alongside vets to enhance the lives of many dogs and cats. 

Her love of animals as well as recognizing a need for a facility that was home-like, fun, and safe, led to the opening of Bark Avenue Pet Lodge. She spends her spare time working obedience and agility training with her Standard Poodle, Ramsey. She and her husband, Rick, also have four cats: Jinx, Essie, Dolly and Cricket.
