Nanook & I will be taking a trip to our local self serve wash soon (it's easier on his arthritic joints than in my bathtub & they have better dryers too).
I just looked on their website, and the place near me is VERY much like your dream job, they offer dog supplies AND even Portraits! Just no adoption center, BUT they do hold adoption events, like for the greyhounds & the such.
They have been in business for at least 10 years (that I can remember at least, it doesn't say on their website) but they absolutely thrive.
