Nobody Puts Furbaby in the Corner Grooming: Community Contribution Finalist in the Casey Business Awards 2024

Established in 2021, Nobody Puts Furbaby in the Corner is a young, yet impactful business which has quickly become a cornerstone of their community.

A sentiment agreed upon by the panel of expert judges who heaped praise on the Pearcedale-based business for their deep-rooted community connections, which support their local economy, customers and their beloved dogs.

Despite their recent establishment, they actively promote fellow local businesses, such as local cafes where their customers can relax while their pets are groomed, local dog behaviourists for those seeking help and even other grooming businesses when they are fully booked.

And they put their money where their mouth is by using local services, such as blade sharpening and grooming product suppliers, further strengthening their community ties.

Nobody Puts Furbaby in the Corner embodies the spirit of the community contribution award; their standout initiative, offering local neglected rescue dogs a free groom to improve their health, wellbeing and their chances of being adopted, reflects their desire to give back to the community.

Reading their company goals, it’s clear to see that they show genuine care for their customers, both the hairy and the not-so-hairy ones. 

They ensure a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs in their care through regular cleaning, flea-resistant bedding in individual crates, high-quality dog treats, safety loops and air conditioning throughout the warmer months.

They also aspire to enhance their skills by undertaking a dog first aid and CPR course.

The mother-daughter duo also care for their not-so-hairy customers with offers of discounted or free grooms for those who are struggling financially and a pick-up drop-off service for those who are unable to bring their dogs to the salon.

In an act of remarkable self-awareness about the challenges of running a business, they recently hired a new accountant who has helped them to understand their finances, putting them on a solid track for future growth.

Nobody puts Furbaby in the Corner is a business that truly cares about its community and its place within it. Their efforts not only boost their business but also foster a sense of unity and support among local enterprises.

Congratulations Nobody Puts Furbaby in the Corner!
