🌸 A Little Update for 2027

Happy first day of spring!

As we head into a new season, I wanted to share a quick update about some changes coming to my grooming schedule in 2027.

Firstly, a huge thank you to all of my wonderful clients for your continued support and for trusting me with your beautiful dogs. ❤️

2026 Bookings

My grooming bookings for 2026 are now fully booked and closed.

If you’re looking for an appointment before the end of the year, you’re welcome to contact me and I’ll add you to my waitlist should a cancellation become available.

2027 Bookings

From January 2027, my grooming hours will be:

Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
8:00am – 1:00pm

2027 grooming appointments will resume on Tuesday, 12 January 2027.

2027 bookings will be given priority to my regular clients who have had regular bookings with me between now and the end of 2026. If you don’t currently have regular appointments booked during this period, you’re still very welcome to contact me about booking for 2027, however regular clients will be given preference as I work through the new schedule.

These changes will allow me to create a more sustainable routine while continuing to give every dog the time and care they deserve.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and continued support. I’m looking forward to seeing you and your beautiful dogs throughout 2027! ❤️

🐾✨ Local Rescue Spotlight: Village Tales ✨🐾

We’re all about happy, healthy pets here and today I want to give a huge shout-out to Village Tales – a local charity doing incredible work rescuing and rehoming dogs and cats in need. 🐶🐱💛

One of our lovely clients helps run this amazing organisation, so it’s a cause very close to our hearts. Every adoption means a fresh start for a pet who deserves a loving home.

👉 If you’d like to support their work, donate, or find out more, check out this post.

Together, we can help tails keep wagging and paws find safe places to land. 🐾💖

Dearest Villagers,

Our hearts are overflowing, a beautiful blend of joy and slight concern as we reach out to you.

You know the whispers of hope that travel through our community when the "freedom bus" prepares to roll. Well, it's not just a whisper anymore, it's officially happening! We’ve just shared the faces of the precious souls who have secured their seats, an astonishing 10 dogs and 6 cats, each one leaving behind the grim realities of a rural pound, heading towards a future filled with love.

Among these brave travelers are some fragile lives with medical needs, cases we simply couldn't turn away. You know our unwavering promise: we never, ever say no to those who need us most, especially when their health hangs in the balance. But with every life saved, comes the stark reality of the costs. These beautiful animals are arriving with more than just hope, they’re bringing with them the promise of significant vet bills.

The journey itself, bringing them safely to our care, is a considerable expense. Add to that the essential vet checks, vaccinations, microchipping, and desexing for every single one, and suddenly, the numbers become daunting. We’re currently looking at an estimated $8,000 just to cover the initial care for these 16 souls. This doesn't even begin to account for the unknown costs for our two medical cases, whose detailed needs we’ll only fully uncover once they are with us.

We are a small rescue, born from a deep love for animals, a handful of friends who simply couldn't stand by while so many suffered. We pour our hearts, our time, and our energy into saving these lives. As much as we dream of having bottomless pockets, the truth is, we don't. And that’s why, today, we come to you, our incredible villagers, our extended family.

You are the ones who always step forward, a beacon of hope when we need it most.

We have set up a dedicated fundraiser to help us, help them. Every single dollar, every share, every kind word makes an unimaginable difference.

Here is the link to our fundraiser if you are able to help us.
https://www.mycause.com.au/page/381102/welcome-them-home

By using our link and donating to our MyCause you will receive an instant tax receipt
*Donations over $2 are tax deductible.

From the bottom of our hearts, and on behalf of every grateful wag of a tail and every purring cuddle, thank you.
