The Heart of Powderhouse

Sha - A Powderhouse Original

25 Years of Experience
Built one paw at a time.

For the past twenty five (25) years, Sha has had the good fortune to meet and groom so many of our four legged friends at Powderhouse Pet Resort.

Sha has built a wonderful trust and confidence level with most of our customers, which has put the customers at ease in allowing her to make decisions on her own for styling of their pets. This has been a wonderful experience for Sha to be able to groom most of these pets from their puppy stage all the way to their adult lives.

Did someone say special event??? Sha loves the opportunity to be creative in her stylizing approach by giving your freshly groomed pet a special feel and look with that sparkling bow, a personalized bandana or maybe a small bell on their collar.

Sha's specialty is coloring, which she has used to match pets to their family favorite sports team, special events, parties or upcoming holidays. It has proven to be a pleasure for Sha to groom and assist in making the family's pet a part of that special family celebration.

Donna - Pets are part of her family

23 Years of Experience
It's a joy to see a happy pet

Donna has been employed with Powderhouse Pet Resort since 1986. Donna originally started working with Kandy as a groomer in the previous location before moving in to the present location on Powderhouse Road.

Over the years, Donna has held various positions, which have been a Stylist, a Trainer, and by special invitation she has assisted in the education of local students in the training and maintaining their pets in a social environment.

Donna has been married for the past seventeen (17) years to a wonderful man who shares the same compassion for animals as she. Their home is currently run by their Standard Poodle with the assistance of an eleven inch parrot.
Donna is originally from New York and enjoys dog sports, nature walks, reading and interior design.

Kandy - Coming full circle in the pet care business


Back where it all began
and still loving every minute!

Kandy has come full circle in the business world of pet kennels. After the selling of Powderhouse Pet Resort to the very capable Mr. Philip Martin, present owner, Kandy has been able to return to her first love - pet grooming.

From the very beginning of the business, dog grooming has been the cornerstone foundation of Powderhouse Pet Resort's success. The Resort has had the fortune to groom so many wonderful dogs and created a true family of the many wonderful pet owners throughout the years. Over the years, it has been Sha, Donna and Kandy that have groomed some of the regulars from those cute puppy cuts to the adult dogs that they are today, each with their own personalities.

Since doing grooming on a part time basis now, Kandy has been allowed to stay in touch with all her friends, both furry and human. She says it feels so good to have scissors in her hands again, which is returning to her original roots.
Leslie
Leslie Morris started out as one of Powderhouse's very first customers, back in the day when it was called "The Doggery". Here is a picture of her from 1974 with "Gidget". Her passion in life was to always be surrounded by dogs.

Leslie has been working as a groomer in the area since 1999 after graduating from the SC School of Dog Grooming. She has been with with Powderhouse since 2004 on a part-time basis and recently began a full-time position here.

She lives in Aiken with her husband Lenwood and her two dogs: a Shihtzu, Baxter and a Maltese, Zsa Zsa
Vonnie
As the niece of Donna, one of Powderhouse's original groomers, Vonnie has been around the resort most of her life. For the past year she has been employed full time as a bather.

Vonnie finds this vocation gives her tremendous personal satisfaction. She truly enjoys the results of her labor. She said seeing a freshly bathed and groomed dog - especially one that was in bad condition before the process is a joy to behold.

She says the dogs run around showing themselves off you can just tell they feel so much better!
