Meet Captain 💜

Captain was found in Pawtucket by a man who claimed he found him behind a Dunkin’ Donuts. He spent a short time at Pawtucket Animal Control, where staff said he was extremely shut down and scared, they actually did not even see him move from the corner ! Today, he was dropped off to us at our Cumberland shop, I decided to take him home as a Foster..He is now home with us relaxing, decompressing, and starting to settle in. (Video in comments of him being groomed and another of him enjoying life on the couch tonight)

So far, he is doing wonderful. We currently have him separated from the other dogs while he adjusts and learns he is safe. He definitely doesn’t seem to enjoy catching glimpses of them yet, so we will take introductions slow and see how he does over the next few days. My big boy Bodie is the sweetest softy and usually the perfect “test dummy,” so maybe once Captain feels more comfortable, we’ll see how they do together. 🐾

I know I’ve said this before, but this is truly some of the worst matting we have ever seen. The photos speak for themselves. Huge shoutout to my girl Yvonne for doing an amazing job getting him shaved down and comfortable today while I focused on helping him settle in.

Underneath all that neglect is a sweet little dog who clearly has been through a lot. We’re going to give him the time, patience, and love he deserves. Welcome home, Captain. 💜 Eventually once he settles in applications will be accepted for him through Rhode Home Rescue🐾

Update on Lucky! So many of you showed love and concern for his situation. I even got tons of private messages! I wanted to update everybody on what ended up happening.
A wellness check has been completed and Animal Control is now actively involved and following this situation closely. The owners have been cooperative, and they recently moved into a new apartment.. While we don't know the condition of the old  apartments where lucky was living for years with these people ...the new one appears to be a suitable environment for him.

They are now required to keep up with Lucky’s grooming and care, and Animal Control will be doing regular follow-ups to ensure this happens.  The officer made it very clear to the owners if his condition declines at all, he will be seized!

I want to be very clear — the condition Lucky was in did not happen overnight. It was severe, long-term matting that caused pain, restricted movement, and is completely preventable with proper care. This is not a matter of preference or appearance — this is basic responsibility when you own a dog.

While I’m relieved that steps are now being put in place, this situation should have never reached this point. Lucky deserved better.

Of course, part of me still wishes he could have come home with me, but what matters most right now is that he is safe, being monitored, and that his care is being taken seriously moving forward.

I will also be keeping a close eye on the situation alongside Animal Control, who has been incredibly helpful and diligent throughout all of this.

Thank you to everyone who reached out with concern and support — it truly means a lot. ❤️

Today was one of those days that reminds us why we do what we do — and why sometimes this job is heartbreaking.

We had a dog come into the salon today in one of the worst conditions we have ever seen. He was severely matted to the point where the hair on his legs was restricting movement and circulation. He was covered in urine and f***s and clearly very uncomfortable and defeated. We groom dogs that have come from the streets, from the south, from rescue situations — and I can honestly say this was worse than many of those cases.

This is the part of grooming people don’t see. Grooming is not just haircuts and bows. Sometimes it is animal advocacy. Sometimes it is doing the uncomfortable thing and making difficult phone calls because the dog cannot speak for itself.

We did contact Animal Control because our responsibility will always be the health, safety, and humane treatment of the dogs that come through our doors. That is not something we take lightly, and it is never done out of spite or anger — only out of concern for the animal.

I also offered today to take the dog myself so he could get the care and maintenance he needs, and told them they would not even have to return to the shop if they chose to surrender him. When she arrived, she was open to the idea but said I needed to speak with her father-in-law because he is very attached to the dog. When I spoke with him, he became very irate and angry.. even went as far as to threaten me on the phone. After that conversation, she decided not to surrender him. I want to make it clear that we truly tried to advocate for this dog and do what we felt was best for him.

The hardest part of the day was when the owner came to pick up ...Every groomer knows this moment — when dogs hear their owners’ voices and they get excited, wagging, pulling, trying to run to them. This dog did the opposite. He hid behind us. He did not want to go. He stayed pressed against us and would not go to her. That was absolutely heartbreaking to watch. We all ended up in tears after they left.

This dog deserved better. Every dog deserves better.

I also want to add that Animal Control is taking this situation very seriously and will be following up in person to see the conditions.

To our clients who keep their dogs on schedules, brush them, care for them, and treat them like family — thank you. You are the reason we get to do the fun part of our job most days.

But please remember this:
Matting is not just cosmetic. Matting is pain. Matting can cut off circulation. Matting can cause sores, infections, and long-term damage. Grooming is not optional for many breeds — it is part of their basic care and wellbeing.

Hug your dogs a little extra tonight.

We had the sweetest newly rescued pups visit our Cumberland location today for a much-needed spa day. 💜🐾

Their previous owners moved out of their apartment and heartbreakingly left them behind outside in the cold with nothing but a bowl of food and water.

A kind woman adopted them so today, we volunteered our services and groomed them free of charge. They were covered in fleas and matting, but they were absolute angels.

I’m so grateful knowing these babies will be sleeping warm, clean, and comfortable tonight. 💜🐾

Rescue stories like this remind me why I love what I do.

If you are moved to help support more pups, like these, consider supporting local rescues or volunteering your time💜
