Happy Tails - Critter Care

06/22/2026

I have an opening in my grooming rotation for a medium to large size full groom every 8 week client, and a bath & dry every 16 weeks client (think lab, golden, huskey ect)

I can't take aggressive or reactive dogs at this time, it takes a lot of energy and time to safely groom them and unfortunately my rotation doesn't have space for that at this moment ❤️

I groom Wednesday & Thursdays (no weekends sorry!) They're one on one grooming appointments where they're the only dog in the room with me so they can have my full attention. Depending on the groom it can take 1.5-3hrs with a pickup appointment shortly after they're done. If you have multiple dogs from the same household let me know their needs and let's see if we can work something out 😊

Please TEXT 250 877 2618 with some information about your pup and photos of them are always welcome 😊

Ps. If you have a poodle or a mix you're willing to let me groom in any poodle clip or variation please mention that in your text, I have an itch that needs to be scratched 😉 🐩

Well it's been over 3 years since I rasied my boarding prices and I've tried putting it off for as long as possible but with the cost of running a business and life in general, it is time.

Dog boarding per night is now $40/ and day of pickup is $20/ if picked up before 10am, anytime after is a regular day charge
Cats are $20/day (litter still included)
Taxes are still included in the prices :) (no one needs to do extra math haha)

I sincerely thank all my clients for continuing to support my small one women show, I appreciate you all more than I can ever express ❤️

If you haven't boarded at HTCC yet and have questions or dates coming up, feel free to text 250 877 2618 for more info or to book 😊

He's a very sweet and smart boy ❤️

Complimentary post - This dog is not in the care of NWAS and we make no representations about his personality. Please be kind, the goal is to find this dog a wonderful new home.

Meet Bauer.
Born early October 2023.
Neutered, fully vaccinated - including kennel cough and rabies.
This nugget of energy has so much love to give and he wants to please!

We first got Bauer in January 2024 (approx 4 months), he was very scrawny - he is really starting to fill out nicely. He is very food driven.
In addition to my spouse and I working 12hr work days, chasing our kids 5-8 times a week to the rink for hockey - our older dog and Bauer just are not the perfect mix. Our older dog is submissive and Bauer is jealous of him.
Bauer needs an active person/family with firm boundaries/corrections.

I love him. He's got so much potential, but sadly, things just aren't as good as they could be for him.

As I love him, I believe that the perfect home for Bauer would be an active home where he is the only dog. OR a home where he is not the only dog AND there is a person who can confidently navigate correcting his less desirable behaviours consistently.

My main goal is to find a better fit for him, in no way am I trying to 'get rid of him'.

If you or someone you know are interested in expanding your home by four paws, please text me a message and we can talk. (Patience with response time as I work days and nights).
