First meet & greet at Common Paws was a super special one! Gillie got to see her brother Casey! Both Gillie & Casey were both lucky enough to be rescued with their mama by .ohio - these babes are four years old now and living their best lives! Can't wait to spend next week with Casey boy!

Meet your human hosts, Levi & Gracie Craddolph!

We are so excited to share our world with you and your pack - since we spend most of our time and energy showing off the dogs, we thought we would take a moment to introduce ourselves & share our story!

We are, Gracie & Levi, met in 2017 - by 2018 we were smitten and decided our forever homes were with each other, where ever that may be. In 2020 we moved into our first home in Columbus, OH & like many others, throughout the pandemic, had started imagining a different kind of life - something other than the 9-5 grind that didn't really bring us all that much joy. In August 2020, we adopted our first dog together, Gillie, FKA Honey Bear of the 2020 Bear Litter from Stop the Suffering Animal Rescue.

Bringing home this adorable, 9lb floppy pup was definitely the beginning of the end for us - we thought our dreams had come true - love, house, dog, made it...but wait, there's more!

In 2021 we started fostering with the same rescue we had adopted Gillie from. We were thinking about adding a second dog to the pack but really just wanted to help other paws in need while also helping Gillie make some friends! Well it worked. Over the last 3 years we have helped Gillie make many, many friends, we have fostered and helped over 30 dogs get adopted & added that second pack member - Ollie man was foster #10 and "foster fail" #1. Long story, slightly less long, is that we quickly realized, there is a huge gap in pet care services & we wanted to offer a solution.

We hear so many stories about dogs who can't go to traditional daycare or boarding facilities or even struggle with grooming salons - too many other dogs, required kenneling, reactivity or super anxious, etc. In 2022 Gracie went to grooming school, followed by Levi in 2023 - we love pampering the dogs in our home setting, this allows us to work one on one with each dog, at their pace - the home environment takes a lot of the stress out of the experience & you know that your dog is getting our full attention. We also found that we just love having a pack of dogs around all the time & have been offering a "home away from home" vibe for your daycare & boarding needs since 2020.

As of September 2024, we are so excited to move our home and offerings to Marysville, OH! Situated on 5 acres, just off Rt. 33, 20 minutes from the Dublin area, we can't wait to share our home with you!

Like and follow our page for more updates about what we do and how we do! Feel free to message us with any questions - we are booking all services for September & beyond!

While we love the Gillie Booms, Ollie was getting a little jelly - and with the move upon us, we thought we would take this opportunity to rebrand!

So here we are party people - just a couple of dog enthusiasts, ready to help you level up your furbabe's care! Common Paws is a space for all the paws! We cater to the rescue dogs, seniors, the super good boys who just get a little anxious at those big kennel places - we are for the little tinies that wanna be carried in a pup-poose all day and the grumpy old man who just wants his own bed to sprawl on and bark at the hooligans. We are for the maniacs that are just too much for other dogs, bring em, they sound like our type!

We offer dog boarding, daycare and grooming in our home - located in Marysville, OH - now booking for September & October

EDIT - MUSTANG has been reunited with his fam 🐾🙌

Anybody recognize me?

Assuming he was dumped, intact male, seems older, missing his right ear...definitely has some wonky eye stuff and skin stuff going on - posting on Pet FBI and other forums, he is being cared for and quarantined in my yard for now - PLEASE SHARE!

Found in the Brookshire neighborhood, in the Hilltop - Spaatz Ave, between Briggs Rd. & Eureka Ave.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! Ready for the tip tapping, tail wagging tea????

Gillie is moving, and she is taking us with her! We are so excited about this move, and we think all of our doggy friends will absolutely love it, too!

For everyone who has bookings and/or grooming scheduled, through July and the first week of August, this changes nothing. I've already spoken with most of you, but if I've forgotten anyone, don't worry, we still got you! We will be taking a very brief pause in August to get settled and set up before we reopen for business. More details will be coming soon...look out Marysville, we are coming for ya!

We may have only had a few months with this whacky boy, but we loved on him so hard, I hope it helped him forget the rough patches he had endured.
Let's set the scene...we were coming off of a sting of very adoreable, young fosters that we almost "foster failed" - when asked if we can take on another, we said sure! But they can't be "our type" we need a dog we won't get attached to...enter Jim Bob, lovingly renamed, Wheezey Jefferson...took us about 24 hours to realize we actually don't have a type and we are head over heels for this stocky floof. We knew he had some medical things that needed addressed but we were devastated when we learned that Wheezey boy was at the end of his journey. Hospice fostering was not something we thought we could handle, emotionally, but how could we send Wheezer off to die somewhere else? We loved him and he loved us, he wasn't going anywhere! We loved on this old man for 3 months. Cooked him burgers and eggs almost every morning. Melon, carrots and hot dogs were his favorite snacks and he always ate with such gusto...until he didn't, that's when we knew he was ready - his last morning was a great one, he rolled in the grass, ate 4 hotdogs with that usual gusto - almost made us think, "maybe he will get better!" But we knew his little body was giving out and we didn't want him to suffer - thank you to .ohio for giving this handsome fella a different ending and thank you to AMC Gahanna for making it a peaceful passing. I got to hold him till the very end, he knew he was loved and he didn't have to be alone - it was one of the hardest things we've done, but we would do it all again, in a heartbeat, because he deserved more than he was dealt. We love you Wheezer, thanks for hanging.

Big news coming soon - tip tapping, tail wagging, kinda news, stay tuned!

Oh Piper, Piper! How I love this little spit fire! Piper is an older gal who gets so excited by everything that sometimes it's just a little too much...especially when humans try to mess with her paws...but a fluffy bottom has to get groomed, so what's a pup to do?

CALL ME! Or DM, or email or text...whatever works for you! Tell me about your pup and their needs and we will figure out the best grooming solution for them - whether that means in my home or your home, we are flexible, home based grooming and here to serve the doggos!

Summer bows and bandanas are in! Are you on my schedule? No?! Well, what are you waiting for? Summer is basically here, let's kick things off right and get those paws scrubbed, ears plucked and booties trimmed!

These pups are ready! In order of appearance, we have Hope, Billy Joel, Moody, Pheobe, Bernie & Holly

To all of our super awesome and amazing clients: While we try to remain as flexible as possible, please be aware, as of May 1, 2024, if you are not able to pick up your dogs from their grooming appointment, at the scheduled time, we will be adding a half day of daycare to your final bill.
I understand sometimes life happens and we will navigate those situations on a case by case basis. Please understand this is a SAFETY issue - grooming is by appointment only, we are happy to discuss grooming during a scheduled day care or boarding stay, but please remember, daycare is not included with a grooming appointment.

Thank you all for your continued support, excited for a very full summer with all your furballs!

Welcome to Columbus, Louie! Louie was recently adopted and moved here from...wait for it...St. Louie! I was so excited to meet this boy. Thank you, to his humans, for bringing him by for a groom - he is the biggest gem!

My roommates lick my face all the time...
Tell me about your roommates!

Beatrice & Lola came by for some much needed pampering - both if these gals were puppy mill mama's, meaning they were puppy making machines until their people deemed them useless and discarded them - luckily they were scooped up by .ohio and will help them find their happily ever after - check out their oage for more info on the many, adoptable pups!

01/09/2024

Ditto's human has done a fantastic job of prepping him for grooming - he may have been a hot mess coming in, but he was the most well-behaved pup to date.

Happy New Year Scrappy! Hoping this new year and new home brings you nothing but the love and care you deserve - quite different from the life he has known up to this point - this poor dude was hella pelted, had bite marks, bruising, scars from a hot water incident, nails curling into his little toe beans - luckily some kind humans rescued him from his situation and will be helping him our- what a way to wrap up 2023...here's to many more glow ups in 2024!

Christmas pups!

12/15/2023

Kylo got a much needed bath and a little freshening up this morning - welcome to the other side bud, only spoils and cuddles for you from now on

12/15/2023

We are so grateful for .ohio! We've been having a grand ole time this week - from new intakes, to our current foster pups, our own foster fail pup and even a few alumni! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for these pups!

12/11/2023

Listen party people - we've got severeeee puppy fever and it's rainy puppies at the shelters - we can't foster any more until our current fosters get adopted - help us get Pearl girl adopted so we can help more pups!

Pearl is about a year old - loves other dogs and would definitely need a home with another tail to follow around - she has a thing for the big fluffy guys - long naps on the couch and beggin strips!
She is shy of humans but opens up relatively quickly with a little patience and a good stock of treats 🙌🐾

Let's get Pearl home for Christmas! Check out Stop the Suffering Animal Rescue of Ohio for info on how to apply - OR just shoot me a message and I'll walk you through the process!

12/09/2023

Pepito snagged one of the last openings we've got before Christmas - if you're trying to get freshened up before the holiday, feel free to reach out and we will do our best to get everybody fluffed and buffed for Christmas weekend - happy, happy and very merry to you! 🙌🐾🎄

If this goof ball were a holiday character, he would Mr. Narwhal. It's quite difficult to capture his size - he is such a goof, such a floof, we love when River comes for a spa day!

Gillie's offers individualized, Cooperative Grooming care for your furballs - no size or breed restrictions - we understand that some dogs have severe anxiety around the grooming process and we are here to help them work through their fears!
