Our Lawrenceville GA Team

Camp Counselor Michael Anderson (pictured here with camper favorite Dozer) joined Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville in August 2025. In September 2026, Michael was named Counselor of the Month.

We're pleased to shine our staff spotlight on Allyson Hargrove, our longest-serving employee. Allyson has been with Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville from the very start of the camp’s formation in 2015. She began as a camp counselor and steadily rose to senior counselor, shift leader, and now to morning manager. In 2025, she earned her Bachelor of Science & Business degree from the University of Phoenix. Allyson is a self-professed “big dog” lover and is the proud mom to two German Shepherds. Her favorite camper is Storm (pictured here), a day camp regular who Allyson refers to as her “work son.” In her spare time, Allyson is a self-taught perfumer who has created several unique and enticing perfumes and scented candles. She also enjoys a passion for photography.

At Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville, our people make all the difference. We’d like to introduce to you to some of our longest-serving staff members, whose dedication to dogs goes back decades. First up is Edgard Medina, our full-service groomer. Edgard originally hails from Miami Beach. He landed his very first job there at a pet shop, and pets quickly became his career-long passion. Over the years, Edgard has served as a pet store assistant manager, a pet adoption counselor, a kennel tech, and a vet tech, just to name a few roles. He caught the eye of a manager at a grooming business, and he worked there while taking classes to become a professional groomer. In 2012, he moved to Atlanta to help an ailing family member. What was supposed to be a temporary stay ended up being life changing. He met his beautiful wife Bethany (who also happens to groom dogs though, sadly, not for us), and they have three adorable kids, a rescued Bull Terrier, and an Exotic Bully. For the past seven-plus years, Edgard has been working at Camp Bow Wow. “I love to see the big smiles when a pet parent comes to pick up their newly groomed dog,” said Edgard. Happy parents and happy campers … that’s what we’re all about.
