Hey Friends and Family!! I am working with Kiva to finance my grooming trailer for Soul Fo Paws. I am currently in the private lending period, and I need just 5 lenders to make it onto the public platform where anyone on Kiva can lend to me. The idea behind this private lending period is to help prove my creditworthiness and build momentum in my campaign. Once I get 5 supporters to lend as little as $25, I can progress to the next phase where my business will be backed by Kiva’s wider community of 1.6mm lenders. The cool thing about Kiva’s crowdfunding model is that contributions that my network makes is not a donation but rather a loan. Meaning all my lenders will receive the full amount they lend once I pay back my 0% loan. If you are willing to help me reach my goal, the link is (please excuse the upside picture, they still need to fix it😂)

THE WOES OF MATTED PETS…
Dogs have the mentality of a two-year-old child. If a client’s two-year-old child, grandchild, niece or nephew came to them with their hair matted all over their head, would they ask the child to tolerate having it combed out? If the tangles were tight and right next to the scalp, making every stroke of a comb or brush painful, they would most likely trim the matted hair out. Have you ever tried to remove gum or candy stuck in a child’s hair? Imagine the same impossible tangle right next to the scalp, covering the entire head. Trimming off that hair would be the most humane thing to do, even if the end result is not the haircut you would typically prefer.

It’s similar with a dog, only with the dog, the hair isn’t just on their head. It’s all over their entire body. You might be able to salvage a very small section, but it’s not fair to ask the dog to submit to a lengthy dematting process. Most dogs do not have the pain tolerance or patience to sit through it. It could take hours to thoroughly brush and comb a dog out. Plus, there is a high risk of injury to their skin. And to top it off, asking a dog to sit through an extensive dematting process could be traumatic. It could influence their behavior for the rest of their grooming life.
