If bathing Fido keeps falling to the bottom of your to-do list, then why not let the groomer come to you? Yvonne Prutilpac bought a van just over a year ago and sent it down to South Carolina to be outfitted with everything a mobile grooming shop could need. She merged her passion for grooming dogs with an innova- tive business idea, and the Morgan- town community has responded overwhelmingly. Now the secret is out: Y B Dirty Mobile Grooming was voted Best Dog Groomer for the first time this year. Prutilpac has more than 500 dogs in her database of clients and just hired her first employee so they could take on even more furry clients, seven days a week. “The advantage I deliver is that I truly, truly, truly am doing this because of my passion for it,” she says. “I genuinely love this, and I think my clients know that. The dogs definitely do.” 304.276.9277, @ybdirtyllc Best Dog Groomer Y B Dirty Mobile Grooming

Best Charity/Nonprofit Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia It’s been a banner year for this year’s Best Charity/Nonprofit: Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia. Although COVID-19 made the process more difficult, the organization reports more than 180 adoptions in the past nine months and is on track to have its best 12 months on record. While humans might have been under stay-at-home orders, says shelter coordinator Katie Short, unneutered cats and dogs still went about Mother Nature’s business, and many veterinarian offices also paused spay and neuter surgeries briefly. These factors together meant that a host of kittens and puppies needed homes as soon as the shelter began operating again. Placement and adoption efforts are supported by Short and by robust volunteer support. Make an appointment today to find your next “furever” friend—or visit the thrift shop the organization runs in the Mountaineer Mall to fund the shelter operation. 252 Brewer Road, 304.290.4738, animalfriendswv. org, @animalfriendswv; Animal Friends Thrift Shoppe, 5000 Greenbag Road, 304.291.5825, “Animal Friends Thrift Shoppe” on Facebook
