Last week we took Nina to Dave's Dirty Dogs, a new (and brilliant!) business in Pinehurst. Dave, who also owns the laundry mat next door, renovated the other half of the building into a save-your-home-from-the-mess place for people to actually have FUN washing their dogs! We sure did. And Nina was thankful for the free bones and head scratches. The rates are reasonable and if you don't want to roll up your sleeves, the friendly staff will wash your dog for you.  We'll let the pictures (and a short video) show you around...

Step one: bring in your dirty dog

We thought we'd post a few of our own "Sandhills Snow Days" photos.  Nina, our adopted dog, was the star of the snow shoot.  She was trying to win the Swank gift certificate all for herself, but we told her that just wouldn't be fair.  Send in your photos (or video!) - there's still time!

Meet Nina, the newest member of the SandhillsDig.com team. Although inexperienced (10 weeks old), she has already brought much energy and joy to the team.

For Anna and me, finding Nina was both fun and educational. Although Petfinder.com is a popular new resource for finding any and every pet nationwide, we decided we wanted to learn a little more about animal control and adoption in Moore County and adopt a “local.”

We headed to the Animal Center of Moore County and were amazed at the size, cleanliness and service at the Center and encourage you to visit if you haven’t already.

After speaking with Alfred Carter, Director of Animal Control, we learned that as this year draws to an end, they will likely have over 1300 pet adoptions!

Here are some other facts that we learned in our visit:
