About our Founder
Doting grandmother, former competitive bodybuilder and lifelong animal advocate, Maria grew up off the coast of Oregon where she and her family raised Quarter Horses.
She started working with rescues when she was 13 years old after convincing her mom to help her liberate “Cricket” from the abusive home where she had been abandoned. Cricket was a big golden retriever mutt who Maria entered into 4-H with even went on win first-place ribbons at the State Fair. These experiences grew Maria’s lifelong love for grooming.
After moving all over the states, Maria finally settled down in warm, sunny Florida where she eventually opened TenderCare in 2012.
