Scooby & Friends Dog Grooming

09/03/2026

Hi all! Long time since I have posted.

My home salon is ready and waiting for me to return to grooming when Liam is a bit older.

I did however find something I can do with the kids that’s animal related! We are busy helping our native wildlife!

I thought I would share this cute post to show you what we have been up too!

We help with rescue/transports. It’s a very flexible volunteer role that can be done around work and/or with kiddies! Other roles include answering the rescue calls and of course being a carer.

Give all your doggies a kiss from me! Sarah xx

Hi all! Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile!

A quick update - I had a busy year last year moving my salon from the vet clinic to a space in my home which is currently closed as I’m on maternity leave again.

We welcomed our little boy Liam James Russo to the family 2 weeks ago.

I’ll be back grooming from my home salon at some stage around the kiddies!

A lovely Christmas present idea for animal lovers!

I always have at least 3 calendars around the house every year! Can never have too many!

🌟 **Thank You, & Friends Dog Grooming !** 🌟
We’re thrilled to have Scooby & Friends as a sponsor for our 2025 Lucky Stars Animal Sanctuary Calendar! Thanks to their kindness, we’re one step closer to providing the love, care, and medical support our animals need. 🐾💚

This beloved dog grooming salon offers a range of Dog Grooming Services that will make even the dirtiest of dogs look mighty fine! 🐕 Scooby & Friends is a fun and friendly Dog Grooming Salon based at Canberra Vet Hospital. Lucky Stars' dogs Bindi and Benni were the recipients of this personal, caring service, and Scooby have been involved in many fundraising dog washing events over the years.

Scooby & Friends aren't currently accepting new clients as they're in such high demand... but watch this space!

📅 Every page of this calendar is filled with beautiful moments from the sanctuary, captured to bring you closer to the incredible animals who call it home. And every pre-order goes directly toward their food, shelter, and medical needs. 🌱

**Pre-order your calendar today** to help us make a difference for our sanctuary family!

Connie and Norman.

Mum visited the salon today and Norman made himself at home on her lap even though he’s quite large. 😂😍

My daughter Lily really wanted to wash the dogs on Sunday so we went for a trip to the salon!

Update: he has been found and foot is fine! If anyone is in Kingston, keep an eye out! The earlier the team can help, better the outcome.

UPDATE: SWAN IS NOW OK! Can you keep an eye out around the Kingston foreshore? An adult swan with a family (2 adults, 4 cygnets altogether) is caught up in fishing line. If you can tell us where they are we have a chance of freeing the swan. 0432 300 033. Thanks! Spread the word.

Look at this handsome man!

I haven’t groomed a foster dog in ages. This is Bowie. He was rescued from a pound after being found as a stray. He did have a tag that said he is 9 years old and an Irish wolfhound x malamute! What a mix! He was such a gentle, quiet man.

He has a lovely new owner who will be adopting him in a few weeks. ❤️

It’s Spring soon!

Such a wonderful important initiative.

Check your nets! ❤️

Replace unsafe fruit-tree netting for FREE! If a finger fits through the mesh in your net, possums and flying foxes can get trapped. ACT Wildlife, supported by the ACT Government, will replace unsafe fruit-tree netting with a wildlife-friendly net for FREE. Tomorrow -- Saturday, August 24, at our office near the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, 2 Dairy Road Fyshwick. 10:30am – 1pm.

And here’s some pictures from yesterday! Hopefully everyone can pick their greyhound from these photos 😂

Again, thank you to everyone who make these days so successful. From all the clients who are always so eager to join and support these events (and get a clean pooch!) to the volunteers who put in so much effort on the day, along with all our supporters from afar.

See you in about 4 months for our next one!

Sarah ❤️

What a day! We washed and pampered 17 doggies yesterday and made $1,330 for ACT Pet Crisis Support (this includes a generous donation from my aunty Fi in Tassie of $50 to add to the total) thank you to my team of volunteers Christine and Tim (mum and dad) and great friends Alana and Lavine.

The doggies we had visit were Leia, Barney, Sally, Marcello, Thor, Raven, Gillie, Bonnie, Marty, Banjo, Bundi, Alan, Izzy, Winky, Bella, Pip and Jerky.

Thanks to everyone braving the cold and wet day to make this all happen! (Dogs were very cosy and warm inside the salon)

Enjoy this video 🛁🐶 (pictures to follow)
