We have had a lot of people reach out about a possible nail day and when we will be opening.

For the nail day we will not be able to have one this time as Michelle made the smart move to pack up all the equipment in to her horse trailer the Wednesday before the flood. The horse trailer has everything in it and very packed. We can not unpack it until we have a place to put everything. That means the building needs to be ready.

Opening day, we unfortunately do not have an estimated opening day right now. For the county to let us rebuild and reopen we have to pass multiple inspections and make a few upgrades to the building. With the property in a flood zone no new buildings will ever be able to be constructed on the land so we have to work with what we have. In order to pass all their inspections we must have licensed professional do the work and sign off on it. We are working with a contractor, electrician, plumber, and roofer. As you can imagine they all have very busy schedules due to the high demand for them right now.

It took about two months to get rebuild with the last flood and we are just now about a month after this time. We understand that your babies need hair cut and nail trims and that you may need to take them somewhere else for the time being. We will keep all up dates posted and be reaching out to clients as soon as we know anything about when we will open.

Nondrinkable water has found its way to downtown Asheville.

Below is a press release from :


The North Fork water treatment plant in Black Mountain continues to feed highly chlorinated water into the City of Asheville’s water distribution system. 

Water service has begun to return to areas west of Swannanoa, including Haw Creek and parts of Fairview. Preparations have been completed to begin sending water to the Fairview area and to the higher elevation areas of South Asheville that do not have water. Preparations are also in place to begin sending water to downtown and north Asheville.

It is extremely important to note: The water is NOT SAFE to drink straight out of the tap. If you get your water from Mills River, you are under a Boil Water Advisory. If you get your water from North Fork, you are under a Boil Water Notice. In each case, water intended for consumption (drinking, cooking and brushing teeth) should be boiled vigorously for at least one minute beforehand.

As water begins to return, Water Resources staff are turning on pump stations to begin to help move water into higher elevation areas. Service restoration will continue slowly and incrementally, moving in a generally westward direction. 

As the system pressurizes, new water line breaks that were previously unknown will be found. Water Resources crews and our utility partners will be on standby to make these repairs as they are discovered. To report line breaks, call Water Resources Customer Service at 828-251-1122.

What to do before water service returns:

Flip off the breaker to your water heater. 

Turn off water to your water heater. 

Turn off hot water under your sinks. 

Remove aerator (it typically unscrews) on faucets. 

Turn off the ice maker.

Turn off water to your whole house filter, if you have one.

What to do when your water service returns:

Flush your home plumbing by running the bathtub’s cold water faucet.

Your water heater may be turned back on once your home’s plumbing has been flushed.

It’s safe to flush your toilet after completing steps 1 and 2.

I think we could all use a hug from Teddy!

Paws for blessings! New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania brought over 50,000 pounds of supplies to Mountain View Church of God for WNC flood victims. We were able to get many of the cleaning supplies to get started from the church. Thank you Mike and Nicki Hicks for your help! Yesterday Lynnetta Carbungco Davenport helped us get 113 2x4's and 15 sheets of plywood! That is enough 2x4's to do the entire shop! Thank you again to those who are volunteering and helping every day!

Paws to think of others! Staff at the Dawg House are sending love and hugs to all the students impacted by Helene and school closures! Hang in there! Together ... we got this!

Thank you to our rescue workers!!

Firefighters get calls to help cats stuck in trees, but because of the catastrophic flooding from Helene, the fire crew in Kingsport, Tennessee, responded to a call this week to help get a dog who was stranded in a tree.

Paws … for blessings! Volunteering is contagious! Volunteers scrapped the floor, pulled nails, picked up supplies, and took several loads to the dump!

Paws to Pay it Forward: We mostly serve dogs but we love all animals! Addison works with us part-time. She rescued this small kitten the day before Hurricane Helene hit the area. "Paws the Catamount" spent a short time at college before finding her fur-ever home with another family. Thanks Addison for doing your part to help this little kitty!!!

You need us and we need you!!

Working hard to get back open but in the short-term:

If you run out of dog shampoo you can use baby shampoo: A common substitute that's gentle on a dog's skin and won't strip natural oils. However, you'll need to use a small amount and rinse thoroughly.

No water: Unscented baby wipes can be used on short-haired dogs to remove surface-level dirt, especially on the face or under the tail. Petco and Petsmart are open. �
You should avoid using human hand soap, which can irritate a dog's skin. You should also be careful not to get any of these products in your dog's eyes.

We want to help more than anything! And we will help the customers we love as soon as we can access our equipment and our building. Just a friendly reminder that we are not able to offer services right now. Our equipment is packed up in storage and we won't have access to it until we can move it to the shop. We also are not able to offer house calls due to our liability insurance. Keep an eye on our page for updates! We have volunteers posting because all our time and energy is on rebuilding to get back to serving our customers and furbabies! We appreciate your patience at this time and hope to see you very soon! Love to all, Michelle and staff

Two differences between 2021 (Fred) and 2024 (Helene):

🐩The Dawg House was almost completely submerged by waters from Hurricane Helene. (See red arrow in photo.) In 2021 the water rose a few feet below the ceiling. In 2021 all equipment and supplies were destroyed.

🐩Fred prepared us for Helene. Staff loaded and stored all equipment and supplies on the Wednesday before Helene made landfall.

So the good news is that equipment was spared but the bad news is that it went over the roof!🐾
