Yesterday we lost a very important member of our village. But it wasn't just our village, it was a whole community. Meghan Evans connected so many people through her bright spirit, love, and care. This girl shined everywhere she went and she brought a smile to everyone she met.

Meghan was the type of person to give more than she should. Bringing us towels when our washer broke, not old towels, brand new towels with the tags still on. Only the best for the dogs. Always.

Meghan was the first person to volunteer to help, to donate, to be a champion for animals, her family, her friends. Despite her own health struggles, she was always caring for someone else. Bringing a smile to someone's face.

Our salon, our family, our friends, our community is feeling a great loss today.

Meghan I hope you know how much of an impact you made on so many people. How much you were loved.

Everyone please go to The Salty Heifer's Trunk-or-Treat tonight in honor of Meghan. She was so excited for this event and to participate. Let's show up for her, like she showed up for all of us every time.

I’ve been so busy with our local community work that I’ve fallen behind on sharing what our rescue animals need. Donations have slowed significantly which we expected in a cold season, and we have some pretty immediate expenses coming up! Community work does not stop, but our dogs need some help too.

Here’s where we desperately need help:

🍁 Salem & Binx: Upcoming spay/neuter surgeries and veterinary rechecks following their antibiotics and steroids.

🍁 Foster kitten intake: Needs a veterinary appointment. We’ve received $30 toward her care so far, which we’re incredibly grateful for.

🍁 Ginger Snap & Chai: Both desperately need new washable and disposable diapers, washable rugs for gingersnaps stability, and p*e pads! Our special needs girlys fly through them.

🍁 Our foster dogs in homes: We’re always low on large bags of Iams dog food, enrichment chews, all vitamins, pumpkin, and supplements.

We have several large dogs eating through food quickly, two special needs dogs requiring daily hands on care, baths, and diaper changes, and foster homes depending on us for supplies. 🤍

We really need help getting ahead of these expenses. Even small donations make an immediate difference.

We cannot help anymore pets until ours are taken care of first.

A lot of these necessities can be purchased right at our local farm store, and Amazon wishlist purchases can ship directly to our fosters!

We are incredibly grateful for every donation, every wishlist purchase, and every share. Thank you for helping us continue caring for the animals who depend on us.

We have a foster kitty 😺 named Peekaboo!

She was found by a client between some Hay Bales a few days ago. We are estimating her to be just 4 weeks old - she is so tiny!

When The Groomery texts you offering to foster a kitten if we can take care of the intake, how on earth are we supposed to say no to this little face?!

We’re currently looking for KMR formula and wet kitten food. Amazon orders can take a while to arrive, so purchasing these items locally is actually the quickest and most helpful option right now!

If you’d like to contribute toward supplies, donations can be sent through:

A HUGE shoutout to our girls at The Groomery for once again stepping up for animals in our community! Their dedication to animal welfare is profound and we’re incredibly grateful to have businesses like theirs willing to lend a hand when animals need it most.

It really does take a community, and we’re so thankful for ours. This little girl was found alone in a barn with no remaining siblings, and I’m grateful help got to her when it did.

Can we all give Soka some love? ❤️

This girl has over come her nail trimming anxiety and we are so proud of her!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Huge thanks to Soka's dad for putting in the work and helping us get this girl comfortable and cooperative for grooming. (Well keep working on the calm part 🤣🤣)

Running your own business is a 24/7 job. Which is why stepping away to breathe is so important. We snuck off for a lovely vacation and are back feeling refreshed!

Tomorrow I will update everyone on the salon and what we need moving forward!

Zoe, Chloe, and Kaylei - THANK YOU! Even in the chaos of the salon, we were able to leave and enjoy ourselves knowing we have such an amazing staff we can trust to hold it together while we're gone. It means the world to us, we appreciate you all and truly would not be able to continue this business without you three 🥰

Charging a fee for cancelations often results in clients swearing, yelling, or being extremely disrespectful or degrading to me. Which is why I don't allow my staff to deal with this. If you yell or swear at me or my staff - you will not be welcome at our salon. Ever again. No exceptions.

How has our little granny Gingersnap not found her forever home yet?!

Ginger Snap does not let her little neurological disability slow her down. When her tiny legs get tired, she transitions so easily into her wheelchair and then her biggest risk is not tipping over. She’s a lot like the old song, the little old lady from Pasadena 😅💨

She’s incredibly easy to diaper for her incontinence, an absolute angel for baths and grooming at The Groomery and genuinely one of the easiest and sweetest little dogs to care for.

She’s got so much life and personality packed into her little body. We just can’t believe someone hasn’t scooped her up yet.

Until then, as you can see, she is cozy here and so adored. 🥲 My sweetest little cookie girl.
