Our newest… surprise arrival… 😅😭

Introducing, Roxi! 🤍 This beauty has lived quite the life before finding us. 😔

💔 First, she was pulled from a backyard breeder- which is where she sustained her ear injury. A sibling ripped half of it off. 😫

💔 Then, she ended up at the top of a euthanasia list just to MAKE SPACE.

❗️We are not shaming our fellow shelters, at all. We know it is a horrible situation to have to be put in, and it highlights how dire the animal welfare crisis is right now. And it’s only getting worse by the day.

No adoptions + animals still continuing to pour in =
Tough decisions have to be made.

We’re just glad we could help out.

Our best guess is Roxi is a 1 year old Shepherd mix, and 50 pounds.
🐶 Overall, dog neutral. If anything, she’s a little avoidant
🐱 Cat curious, which could be good or bad
🚶‍♀️ Excellent leash manners
🤗 VERY people oriented
💉 Has had a DAPP and Bordetella vaccine
🚗 Poor thing gets car sick 🤢

Let’s get Roxi out of the shelter and into her forever home. If you’d like to meet her, please give us a call or send us a message at (540)921-2053. 🐶 ❤️‍🩹

This is Brittany, one of your friendly Tail Chasers groomers. I am so glad to be back after my hand surgery. I had the pleasure of grooming these adorable fur babies on my first week back.

This sweet little girl's mom, Lori Charett brought her in for her regular monthly pawdicure today. Although she's not the biggest fan of getting her nails trimmed, she's getting better & better at it and mom got her a well deserved treat afterwards today.

Good girl Hope!! 🥰❤️

If you have a pup that struggles with getting their nails done, we have a great team that would be happy to do this for your fur baby. Keeping them on a regular routine schedule usually gets them much more comfortable with it!

Give us a call at 540-381-1954 or email [email protected] to get your appointment(s) set up.

Happy Birthday, Koda! ❤️🐾

Today we are celebrating one handsome Aussie, Koda!

This pup is one of the sweetest, most loving guys in the pack. Koda is often one of the first greeters to welcome new pups, always ready to make a friend and help everyone feel right at home. This social butterfly absolutely loves being around his friends, and he is such a great sport when it comes to sharing his toys and pools with his buddies. There is always room for one more friend when Koda is around!

Koda is also a big fan of affection. This boy loves attention from everyone, including friendly passersby who stop to give him some scratches. He is especially attached to his favorite staff members and is always happy to soak up some extra love. Give this handsome guy a good tummy rub in the sunshine or a nice rear-end scratch, and you will have one very happy boy!

Now, when it comes to Koda's one true love, there is absolutely no competition. Water! This boy takes his splash time very seriously. Pools, splash pads, sprinklers, sprayers, hoses, you name it, Koda wants to be there! The moment that hose comes out, he starts squeaking and barking with pure excitement, even when the staff are just using it to get some fresh water for daycare's water bowls. He is always nearby when there is a chance to make a splash, and seeing him enjoy his favorite activity is such a treat!

Koda greets the day by wagging his whole body with excitement. This boy is so happy to see his friends and staff that his entire backside gets in on the celebration. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his loving personality makes him such a special part of the pack.

Koda is the perfect combination of handsome, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully social. He loves his people, adores his friends, shares his favorite things, and is always happy to enjoy some extra love and a good splash session.

Keep being our social butterfly Koda! We love your big heart, your happy wiggles, and all the joy you bring to the pack!

We Ruff You, Koda! 💙
