Zoolatry - Our Team - Christine Klingebiel

Christine Klingebiel

Christine has been with Zoolatry for nearly four years, serving the Palisades area of the District.

Early Grooming Career
Her career in pet-care began much earlier, however, in the 1980s, when she attended grooming school in Baltimore, Maryland, and started her own grooming business.

Shelter Days
In the 1990s, Christine spent six years with the Montgomery County Humane Society as a fulltime adoption counselor. She adopted many of the shelter's most pitiful cases herself -- the 14-year-old dog turned in when its owners moved, one of 13 Borzois turned in as "stock" when their owner, a breeder, went out of business. Each of Christine's eight dogs and nine cats has its own hard-luck story turned good-luck story when they met her. She continues to lavish them with a degree of emotional support and specialty medical care unknown even to pets from the best homes.
