A family has entrusted us with memorial contributions to honor their loved one. I struggle to find the words to express what an honor this is. Trust me, we do not take it lightly.
We appreciate the trust families have put in us and are committed to giving 100% to honor the memory.
Be assured good will be done and we will never forget what an honor this is.

We don't often get the chance to say good-bye to our 4 legged friends that we come to know and love. We shed the tears after the sorrowful calls from their family letting us know they are gone. Today however, I got the chance to say those good-byes. I got the last hugs, the last I love yous and you will be missed. They may not live in our house but they live in our hearts just the same.
All of us, unfortunately, are all too familiar with the pain of letting go, but I am ever so grateful for the chance to say good-bye.
Rest In Peace sweet Marley and Scooter, sorrow yes, but the journey was worth taking.

December begins our annual "Please don't feed the employees" request. It is not that we don't appreciate all those who think of us with gifts of cookies, candy and Christmas items. We really do, but we get more than 2 of us can possibly, and more importantly should, eat. So please keep this in mind
This year alone, Happy Tails Paw It Forward has donated nearly $8,000 dollars plus assembled and donated over 100 raffle baskets. 85% of the funding of Paw It Forward comes from us personally, along with hundreds of hours of volunteer work we put in. These efforts have gone to support many individuals in need and organizations like Helping Heroes, local animal shelters, Marshall County FRN, local Fire Depts., Harmony House Children's Advocacy Center, K9 Handler training, Cockayne At Glen Dale, medical benefits, The Thin Blue Line FOPA Lodge 100, flood and house fire recovery fundraisers, just to name a few.
We've been blessed with a year of more support than ever before, but as it goes with community service, a lot of time the asks are greater than the giving.
If you are interested in helping us continue our support in the community please consider making a donation with the link below. Or checks can be made out to Happy Tails Paw It Forward. Honestly no donation is too small and no gift could be greater this holiday season than to be able to continue our work through Paw It Forward.
Happy Howlidays everyone!

Videos

Some people had asked if we would do a Facebook live video. I unfortunately forgot to give my phone to Danielle so she tried it with her phone which would not let her post it to our page and for some reason, which is above my pay grade, I could not share it from my page. So some days, some many attempts and some trimming I believe I finally got the Facebook gurus to let me share it to the page. At least let’s hope it works

After technical difficulties (me turning off the breaker) I was so excited I just flipped the switch with no count down just a Ta Da, lol. This is our 4th year and I've never gotten to see the lighting from the other side. I just got a chance to see the video today and I have to admit I got a little teary eyed. Thank you Jason Martin for spending your evening capturing some of the best photos and video and making it possible for me to see it from the 1st Responders view.

It was an incredible night full of amazing people and I can't wait to share with you all the pictures but I'm just going to leave you with this unbelievable video for now made possible by Jason Martin. Can't thank him enough for getting us such awesome photos and videos. Promise to post more when I have the chance to get them together. If you have photos please tag us or send them to me.

If we don't all try to teach kindness to children, all children, no matter who's they are, then how can we expect them to know how to be kind, respectful, understanding of differences. These qualities are just as important, if not more these days, than math, language and sciences. If only the person that left the racist, disgusting graffiti on the bus stop had been taught some of those qualities by someone, anyone, our conversations today would been of a lot less anger and sadness at how hatred can seem so acceptable. Through my anger and frustration of people's stupidity I almost forgot that I too should be teaching kindness. Thank you Center McMechen Elementary School children for being a great teacher in kindness. My hope beyond hope is that we can all learn from you

THANK YOU to everyone that got FETCH balls, stopped by our spot at the Fall Festival and gave Twinkie some love. We met so many amazing wonderful people today and throughout this whole fundraising event. We are grateful and humbled by the support. To Denise Marshall Nally and Marilyn who got up early this morning to set up, big thanks. To Sarah, Marilyn and the McCombs family who came back to help tear down and pack up, you're the best. Thanks to the ever awesome Denise, we couldn't have done this without you and everyone that helped get everything back in the shop, much love and appreciation. "Together we'll do some good" Congrats to Jeannie (hope I spelled that right) the winner of the 50/50 FETCH. And Twinkie says sorry to everyone who asked her to remember their number, she says she did her best but Mom would only let her pick one, lol

Twinkie heard that Texas Roadhouse had their donation from our Dine to Donate ready and she was excited to go fetch it. Many thanks for the opportunity to fundraise, between the 10% they donated and the 50/50 FETCH we raised over $500. We are beyond grateful.

Twinkie just looking for someone to stop by for some pets and FETCH tennis balls at Mason Dixon BBQ Co.

Together we’ll do some good

Happy Tails Pet Salon is a small locally owned and managed pet grooming facility. When we say small we mean 2 employees, the owner/groomer Terri Lindsey and the manager/bather Ethel Brown. Since we first opened our doors on Feb. 23rd, 2006 we have been active volunteers in the community and fundraising. We have been blessed with a support system of family, friends and customers that are considered our Happy Tails Family. Fortunately with the growth of our business our community involvement grew as well. So much so, we realized we could offer more support to groups and individuals if we organized and consolidated our energies. This led to the creation of Happy Tails Paw It Forward and without the partnership of the Marshall Co. Family Resource Network (FRN) would not have been possible. Working through the FRN we are able to receive tax deductible donations that enables us to help community organizations, individuals in need and grass roots programs that too often struggle for support. Our efforts aren't just local like: Helping Heroes, CASA for Children, individual medical and disaster recovery efforts, area animal shelters, local K9 Units and area First Responders, but includes sponsoring K-9 First Aid Kits and needed training for K-9's and their handlers throughout the US. Paw It Forward is solely funded by donations and the fundraising efforts of volunteers and Happy Tails. Be assured every dollar goes into the programs, not operating costs. Please check out our posted brochure to see more ways we help and ways you can Paw It Forward as well
