Round of Apaws: Dawb at Rub-a-Dub Dog Wash Gives Coco a Glow-Up
A Round of Apaws for Rub-a-Dub Dog Wash!
We're sending a huge "Round of Apaws" and a heartfelt thank you to Dawb, the owner of Rub-a-Dub Dog Wash in Gresham, for her incredible generosity and kindness to give Coco a much needed bath!
Recently, one of our wonderful volunteers, Arlene, had the pleasure of taking the sweet, lovable Coco for a much-needed spa day. This was all thanks to Dawb, who graciously donated her time, products, and expertise to give Coco a complete makeover.
Arlene was so moved by the experience that she had to share. "Dawb wants to help our dogs get adopted and knows that dogs like our Coco – larger and older – already have two strikes against them," Arlene said. "And God knows dogs have a better chance of getting adopted if they’re clean and groomed."
Dawb's kindness wasn't for show. As Arlene put it, "I know Daub keeps an eye on [multcopets.org] for dogs she can help. And she does so silently. And with the truest heart. Dawb did not do this for praise... she did this for FREE. She donated her time (and products) to us. She has a real desire to help MCAS. Especially our dogs who might [need some extra help]!"
For over two hours, Dawb dedicated herself to making Coco feel and look his best
"It was a pretty magical time," Arlene shared. "I watched the whole process - from hesitant Coco staring at that bath tub with an 'oh no you don't!' look, to Coco blissfully nodding off while Dawb massaged his fur and ran the blow dryer over him. I don't know where Daub got the stamina. She spent over two hours bathing, combing, detangling, and conditioning [Coco]. She cooed and soothed him, sang songs, and brushed him. And Coco left Rub-a-Dub looking like a superstar!"
It's community members like Dawb and volunteers like Arlene who make all the difference in the lives of our shelter animals.
Thank you, Daub, for helping Coco look like the superstar we know he is! Your support gives Coco a better chance at finding a new, loving, adoptive home.
