Our Story & Mission

From a small kennel to the nation's leading provider of canine detection and care services, discover what makes PawCare Pro exceptional.

Our Journey Begins

Founded in 1999 in North Texas, PawCare Pro started with a simple mission: to provide exceptional care for dogs while addressing the growing need for professional detection services in our community.

Our founder, Marcus Johnson, a former military K9 handler, recognized that the same dedication and precision required for detection work could revolutionize everyday pet care. What began as a small kennel with two detection dogs has grown into the nation's largest contraband detection provider, serving over 500 schools and businesses.

Over the past 24+ years, we've remained committed to our core belief: every dog deserves expert care, and every community deserves elite protection. This dual focus on canine welfare and community safety has defined our journey and continues to drive our innovation.

Our Founding Vision

"To create a world where canine expertise serves both companionship and protection, where every tail wag represents both happiness and security." - Marcus Johnson, Founder

Integrity & Safety

We never compromise on safety—for your pets, our teams, or the communities we serve. Every handler and dog upholds the highest ethical standards.

Canine Well-being First

Our dogs are family, not tools. We prioritize their health, happiness, and comfort in every service we provide, ensuring they thrive in their work.

Continuous Excellence

We invest in ongoing training, certifications, and innovation to maintain our position as industry leaders in both pet care and detection services.

Our Dual Mission

To provide:

1. Elite Detection Services that protect schools, businesses, and communities with unmatched precision and reliability.

2. Premium Pet Care that enriches the lives of dogs and their families through exceptional service, training, and companionship.
