ALDERSON W.Va. (WVDN) – A nice crowd joined Ashton Phillips on Saturday, February 28, as she celebrated the grand opening of “Rustic Paws Grooming,” a new dog grooming business located at 301 Chase Street in the Alderson Opportunity Center (the old elementary school complex). Alderson Main Street President, Don Sutherland, said, “We are excited to have this new business in town and very pleased that she chose to join Alderson Main Street immediately.”
Ashton, a certified dog groomer, said, “My family and I have owned many different dog breeds that all require different types of care. I quickly realized how expensive regular grooming can be, especially for dogs that need it more often. I wanted to change that and make grooming more accessible, so everyone in my area and surrounding communities can afford the care their pets need.”
The 20 year old is a busy person currently finishing a term with AmeriCorps, in school for forensic psychology, and now, opening her own business.

She said, “Every dog that walks through my door will be treated as one of my own.”
