How it all started

Green Valley Kennels was founded in 1997 by Brian and Elaine Green after multiple requests by the surrounding community for someone to watch their pets when out of town. For 27 years the Greens grew the business and made it flourish.

Who arte the new owners

Joseph and Jill Siragusa grew up in North Texas and moved to Johannesburg, Michigan in May of 2021 with their three children.

In the Fall of 2020, Joseph was on a Veteran Retreat with Project RELO, a Grayling-based non-profit, and was amazed at the beauty of the area and colors of fall. He fell in love with the area and called Jill to suggest moving the family. It was a big move, but all the logistics quickly fell into place. They purchased their Johannesburg home, sight unseen, and moved the family as soon as school let out the following spring.

They have embraced the small town feel of Johannesburg and rural lifestyle and love being a part of this community with their children and three dogs, America, Liberty and Valor!

The family tradition contuses to grow

In May of 2024, Joseph and Jill purchased the kennel with the plan to continue to serve the pet-loving community with a family-owned business. The legacy of family-owned to hopefully pass down to their children and provide the same level of service as the Greens did for the past 27 years.
