Salty Paws Pet Resort was acquired by Pawville effective January 24^th, 2020 and will now be called North Shore Pawville.  Salty Paws was started in 2015 by Victor and Lesley Riley when they were inspired to create a high-quality pet resort in Sneads Ferry, NC.  They built a large, state-of-the-art facility with indoor/outdoor runs and large outdoor spaces and were received by the local community with open arms. 

Phil and Amanda Miller, the founders of Pawville, feel fortunate to acquire this facility and its great team of employees.  Said Phil, “It’s so apparent to us that Vic and Lesley put a lot of pride and love into the creation and running of this place and we want to continue operating with that same level of passion.” 

Although Victor and Lesley will no longer be involved with the business, their employees will remain in place and operations will continue without interruption.  All prices and policies will remain the same over the next month as the Pawville team learns from the Salty Paws team and clients.  According to Phil, “Our objective is to leave things unchanged for a month to make this a learning experience for our Pawville team.”  When changes come, Pawville is optimistic these changes will be well-received by the community.  Among other things, Pawville intends to add a cat boarding room, large grooming room, and an indoor daycare play area.  Last of all, Pawville intends to invest in outdoor yard spaces.  

Phil and Amanda opened their first operation in 2007 in Florida and subsequently opened facilities in Surf City and Jacksonville, NC with a new facility under construction on Carolina Beach Rd in Wilmington, NC.  Said Phil, “We’re excited about the synergies and convenience that will be created by adding North Shore Pawville to the family.  Our clients can seamlessly move between Pawvilles for daycare, boarding, and grooming.”
