There is something special about orange cats.

Black cats are some of the cutest cats around. 🐈‍⬛

Rain or shine, the chores get done. 💪

Making new friends is the best part of this job.

Especially winning over the shyest of the little floofs, like Monkie here.

ALT TEXT: a person with green hair sits happily on a couch. She has on gold-rimmed glasses and a an opal nose ring. Behind her, perched on the back of the couch, sits a tan and white small dog, with one ear up and one ear down. There is a window behind the dog, filled with light.

I have some availability Monday-Wednesday-Friday afternoons for dog walks.

I’m only taking one or two new walking clients at this time (and then my regular client schedule is closed).

Message me for more info!

Happy to be a part of this. 🏳️‍🌈

Paw Prints Pet Services + Faerie Dog Grooming Salon + Brownwulf Media booth at PRIDE IN THE ALLEY with PFLAG Oskaloosa last weekend was a vibe!

Thanks to everyone (and their dogs) who came out to support.

I was not able to make it myself but my adoring husband set up shop for me and sold paintings, handed out business cards, and made LOTS of friends in the community.

It can be hard in the current social climate to know where you’re welcome. To know when you’re wanted. To know that you’re loved.

ALL of my businesses support the rights of ALL human beings. I myself am q***r as heck. Non-binary. THEY/THEM.

And baby, I was born this way. 🌈

Today you get to stop doomscrolling momentarily, to see THREE cutie patooties on your feed, for the price of ONE. 😘

I’m still out of commission with my hurting foot! If you’re looking for a great dog walker in the meantime, I highly recommend Matthew Mich Dog Walking!

Message him on Facebook for more info.

Dog walks are currently on pause due to a foot injury that is taking a while to heal.

Drop ins will continue as usual, and some potty break walks will just be quick for the potty break only (for the dogs who won’t pull and hurt it worse).

Thanks for understanding! I am really sad about it and hope to be back to 100% soon.

Leash Law - What does it mean?

A Leash Is Required at All Times
All pets, regardless of age, must be leashed at all times unless confined by a tether at least 12 feet in length or within the owner’s enclosed property. If the owner is present and supervising the animal on the owner’s premises an exception to the leash law is made.

Pets must not be tied and left unattended when off the owner’s property and an animal leash cannot exceed six (6) feet in length. Unleashed pets accompanied by their owner while jogging, cycling, visiting parks, or anywhere on public property are in violation of the law. Pets are not to be tethered to public property.

Impounded Pets - what happens if my dog is found wandering at large?

If the pet strays, it can be impounded and the owner or keeper can be cited for having an animal at large. The citation is a summons to Court with the punishment and/or fine determined by the judge. A pet that is impounded is not being punished - it’s being protected.

Animals that are impounded in Oskaloosa are taken to Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter. The Shelter charges an impound fee for all animals.

For More Information
The Stephen Memorial Shelter is located at 1716 Pella Avenue, Oskaloosa, IA 52577. To speak with staff at the shelter, call (641) 673-3991 and press "1" for the operator while the recording is played, or review Chapter 6.04, Animal Control in the City Code.
