About the Business
Pawsperity is a nonprofit grooming school located at 5805 Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Our mission is to unleash human potential through the art of pet grooming. We are the only nonprofit grooming school in the country, offering a transformative program that breaks the cycle of generational poverty by providing extensive job training within the booming pet grooming industry. Our focus is on single parents living in poverty, offering a detailed curriculum for pet grooming as well as soft skills classes such as communication and budgeting. Students also have access to wrap-around services such as housing, food assistance, and case management.
In addition to our grooming school, Pawsperity offers pet services to the community, including a grooming salon and doggie daycare. Our salon is staffed by certified graduates of our grooming school, providing professional grooming services for pets. Our doggie daycare offers an enriching camp experience for dogs, with staff trained on dog health, behavior, and socialization.
We also offer opportunities for volunteers at our Kansas City and Lee's Summit locations, as well as various ways to support our mission through donations and partnerships. At Pawsperity, we are dedicated to empowering families to uplift themselves from generational poverty through the in-demand trade of pet grooming. Visit us online or call to schedule an appointment or learn more about how you can get involved!
Reviews
"This sweet boy’s picture speaks for itself. He looks beautiful and the cost is very reasonable. The people here are so kind and sweet with him."
"Why an excellent, important business! Charlie always looks sharp and appears happy after a full groom."
"Terrible terrible place. Worse place to go to for your dogs AND as a student. All the high staff show favoritism to students and there is no fairness in this facility. The disrespect and the arrogance are at high. They offer housing to students but do not mention that you have to pay for it! They hide the fact that you have to! And allow students who do not be there night and day to STILL live there when there is others waiting in line and who do not have no place to stay. They pay you BELOW minimum wage for full time work. No fair treatment is given here. No questions are asked about the unfair treatment with the students. Students are required to walk 2-3 minutes to and from a muffler shop even when it’s: 1) raining 2) snowing 3) below 23 degrees 4) asthma. Judgement day is everyday here. There is no sense of peace here. You come here as a student for “6 months” but stay until 7. And if you stay for too long because you aren’t learning fast enough? They’ll exit you. They won’t work with you, they’ll exit you. Be careful."
"This is an amazing place! Both an affordable and high quality place to go for dog grooming, AND a 501C3 workforce development organization, its impressive from top to bottom. Their facility is beautiful, clean, and brand new. One of my clients recommended Pawsperity to us, and we're so glad to have found them. The staff is professional and friendly, and the product? Well, we think she's adorable. "
