Mary Keller - Owner/Operator
Mary has owned Charleston Pet Resort since 1994. Before buying CPR, Mary showed Malamutes, bred Lhasa Apsos and owned a small kennel. Her favorite part of owning CPR is the pets and the love they give. Mary enjoys meeting new clients and loving the old.

She is constantly looking for ways to improve CPR by continuing her own education at regional and national ABKA seminars, attending additional seminars on a number of related pet and business topics, touring other facilities and paying keen attention to customer service at other businesses. When Mary can find a spare moment she enjoys scrap booking and dreaming about the show poodle she would one day like to have. In the meantime she takes pleasure in the love she receives from Katie her toy poodle, Pesha her standard poodle, Casey her rescued beagle, and Apollo her Malamute.

Elaine “Grandma” Keller

Elaine has been with CPR for 12  years. She is a certified Pet Care Technician through the ABKA and is responsible for our Cattery as well a tucking everyone in at night and our very popular TLC and Senior packages. Grandma lives on-site with her rescue dogs, Lassie, 17 years old and 1 year old Stevie, a lab mix that was found nearly dead at the flea market. Elaine bottle fed Stevie and his three siblings round the clock and with lots of love and patience all the puppies made it. In her spare time, Elaine enjoys sewing, gardening and watching Animal Planet.

Crystal Maples

Crystal has worked for CPR since 1994. She started in the kennels and worked her way up to grooming. Crystal’s grooming experience starts at the age of 10 for Junior Showmanship. Participants are required to groom their own dogs for show. Her favorite dogs to groom are Schnauzers, Springers, and Bichons because she feels she does an excellent job and as a breed they require an interesting cut. Crystal attended the International Academy of Pet Design and is a member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America. In her spare time, Crystal enjoys dancing, swimming and creative memories (scrap booking.) Her future plans include receiving her business degree in the summer of 2006, marriage and family. She hopes to some day become president of Charleston Pet Resort and to open a no kill shelter.
