Animals have always played a big role in Allie Tolonen s life.
The 20-year-old Farmington resident said she would spend time walking dogs with the family when she was growing up, assisting her mother who helped with other peoples pets. She s also been around horses for many years and recently earned her dog grooming certificate. I just feel like my love for animals started at a young age, even though animals haven t been my job my whole life, she said. Growing up, we always had random little dogs in our house we were watching. I ve always been an animal lover.
Now, Tolonen is the manager of her family s new pet supplies store and spends six days a week helping customers and their pets. Tolonen Family Pet Shop opened its doors in late April at 23320 Farmington Road in downtown Farmington.
