We always knew that underneath all that awful matting there was going to be a beautiful little dog waiting to shine—and what a transformation Pixie has had!

She sailed through her groom (well… with a few “Pixie protests” along the way!) and the result left us amazed. Beneath the scruffy, tangled coat was the sweetest little girl ready to face the world with a fresh start.

None of this would be possible without Mandy and her wonderful team at Dashing Designer Dogs Mornington.

For more than 12 years, Mandy has groomed both our own dogs and countless foster dogs—meeting each one with patience, professionalism, and compassion, no matter how frightened, snappy, or shut down they may be.

And the best part? She gifts every single one of our Sweet Paws foster dogs their grooms completely free of charge.

We can’t thank Mandy enough for her generosity and for giving our foster dogs, like Pixie, the chance to feel comfortable, clean, and loved. We’re so lucky to have her and her team on our side, the transformations truly speak for themselves 🧡
