Nathan had a dream to carry on the entrepreneurial spirit of his Pawpaw, who once proudly owned an OTASCO store. Wanting to honor that legacy, he purchased an old pawn shop in Dalton, GA, and began transforming it into something fresh and meaningful—a modern self-service dog wash where bath time could be easy and enjoyable for both pets and their owners. During the renovation, fate stepped in. Nathan accidentally dialed the wrong number and ended up speaking with a man looking to rehome a German Shepherd puppy from a litter. Without hesitation, Nathan welcomed the pup into his life, naming him Gustavo—“Gus” for short.
Gus quickly became more than just a companion; he became the heart and face of Dalton Dog Wash. Built by Boston Made—inspired by Boston the Goldendoodle and the spirit of Boston, MA—this flagship store is proudly rooted in Dalton, Nathan’s hometown. With Gus as the mascot and Nathan’s vision leading the way, Dalton Dog Wash represents more than clean pups—it’s about family, legacy, and community.
