Spreading Pawsitivity!

Giving Back

We are so grateful to be loved and supported by our local community. After Hurricane Helene, our staff discussed ways we could use our skills to give back directly to our local community as we rebuild.

Spreading Pawsitivity is a way for us to offer our expert, one-on-one grooming on a pay-what-you-can basis to support our local community. All profits will go directly to the monthly spotlighted WNC non-profit doing hard work in key areas. These include pet rescues, key aids in the local recovery, and non-profits supporting those struggling the most in our community.

Keep an eye on your email for more information, and please help spread the word!
