We are sad to report that our Director of Customer We are sad to report that our Director of Customer Relations has died. Rosie came down with a barrage of issues shortly after her 12th birthday in September. She was joy and sunshine and we are lucky to have had her in our lives and be able to bring her to work with us to all 3 locations. She got us through some pretty tough times with her goofy silly energy. She loved kisses squeakers, eating, and running on the beach- she hated her collar/harness/leash and despite having clear boundaries about snuggling, she was always at our side often pulled us toward her favorite places in West Asheville and Weaverville. We will miss her under our feet. In lieu of sad memorial items, you can make a donation to the @1510foundation which provides medical assistance to help shelter dogs become more adoptable and who’s other insta page @weratedogs honors all the good dogs and makes me smile. Also please wait a bit to text or call us if you can. It was just a year ago we were bombarded with concern after the storm - this year has been challenging. We are tired. But we will bring Rosie’s goofy energy and love of life into the new year.
