Our Mission

To inspire kindness and create a safe space for community through pet care expertise and respect for all

To extend the love of pets beyond pet care

Our Vision

At PAWS, we aim to inspire a sense of community around our love of pets. The reality of the grooming business is that too many groomers and bathers are mistreated, overworked, and forced to hide their true selves. With your support, we hope to change the status quo and empower our employees to embrace their individuality and honor their value to the business.

PAWS Pet Grooming had been in operation for 13 years when David O’Connor learned that this pillar in the community was facing closure in 2018. Rather than watch this prominent Rhode Island establishment shut its doors to dog owners in the area, David chose to invest in its continuation and attract talent locally. After overcoming a period of obstacles, PAWS Pet Grooming was once again fully operational by the end of the summer in 2020.

We are excited to continue our legacy of high-quality pet care and increase our capacity for social good.

We Compost Pet Hair

PAWS is proud to be composting pet fur. Fur and hair from your pet is made of compostable protein that can biodegrade very quickly. Rather than having this organic matter end up in a landfill or septic tank, PAWS is committed to contributing to the nitrogen cycle while maintaining a clean workspace.
