Why do I donate my services to our local shelter?

This... right here.
The 1st photo is Dahlia (previously Dally) Aug 22nd 2024. The 2nd is today. Aug 25th 2026.
I had the privilege of being her first groom after her and her brother were abandoned by their former home.
Today Dahlia has the life she always deserved, and is loved beyond measure.

Taylor and I fell in love with this kind girl at her girst appointment, so I decided to send her with a free grooming coupon in her adoption folder. Hoping we would het to see her again. Frankly that was one of the best choices I ever made. She is now one of my best doodles to groom and loves to show of her stunning white coat. We are so grateful to be able to help the special dogs of the Fauquier SPCA. And its just a bonus when they become a permanent member of the Poodle Pack 🐩

Appreciation post for my Team of Taylors.
Taylor Bentley has expanded her career to a second location! Im so proud of the groomer you have become and can not wait to see you thrive. 💜
And Taylor Pullen was accepted into a vet tech program! We are so proud of you! Bonus that we get to keep our weekends with you though 🤣 but seriously, what an incredible career path.

As an employer it absolutely warms my heart to watch my "baby groomers" grow into themselves as thriving young women. I am so proud of you both for making such big leaps in your career journey. I will always be here to cheer you on as you continue to thrive!

Wishing a very special boy a happy 3rd birthday!!!!
My whole career I have questioned my abilities. I under cut my rates because "there is always someone better than me" and looked down upon my finished work.

Then came along West and his incredible owner Veronica Buschhaus. The litteraly kicked out every one of my insecurities. They pushed me to improve my grooming abilities, but most importantly, better my confidence. Because of them I have began my grooming competition journey. They have also paved the way for my very poodley future. 😍

I am so grateful to have you both in my corner. And to be trusted with such a special beast. Happy birthday Westie🖤
Dont worry Laika, your still my favorite niece 🤣

K9 Copper would like to remind everyone to stay safe in this extreme heat. Especially this weekend!

Stay hydrated and stay cool!
For your pets, avoid walks on the heat of the afternoon. Early mornings or evenings the pavement will be much cooler.
Do not walk your pets directly on asphalt! Stick to grassy areas if possible.

May everyone have a safe holiday weekend!

K9 Katie here with a Purple Poodle PSA!

July 4th is just a week away! Here are a few reminders to keep your beloved pets safe this holiday weekend.

Not all pets handle fireworks well. Be sure to contact your vet ASAP should they need sedation to wether the storm.
● Background music can help drown out the big booms.
● A covered crate is a great option for pets who may need confinement for safety.
●For pets with severe anxiety, be sure to keep them indoors or leashed. Loose pets will often bolt if startled.

BBQs and Parties are always a blast for us humans. We recommend you keep your pets away from the activities this year.
●Many foods can cause stomach upset, or even things like pancreatitis. Cakes and chicken wings are typically on display and usually left unattended. Even the most obedient of dogs find burgers hard to resist.
● Dogs easily wander off during the festivities and may go unnoticed for a longer period than usual. Avoid risking a gate being left open or a startled pet from bolting and make other arrangementsfor your pet during the party.

July 4th weekend always has a high report for missing and lost pets. Do them a favor and keep them safe this holiday weekend.
Have a wonderful and SAFE July 4th weekend

To our wonderful and very paitent customers. I have had a hard time balancing some new life changes with a loved one and staying ontop of my messages and calls.
To everyone, thank you so much for your continued patience and understanding. I took a negative comment to heart today, and definitely am trying to do better by you all.

Taylor Bentley (540) 522-3194 is always available to message (aka pick up my slack) while we work on getting this online system back up and running.

Thank you for your support, one very mentally exhausted groomer.
