Roanoke's famous Black Dog Salvage -- home to TV's Salvage Dogs -- is moving a big part of its operation to a nearby warehouse, making space for an outfitter and consigner, Roanoke Mountain Adventures to move in later in 2026.

There was plenty of fun to be had today in Roanoke for Back Dog Salvage’s Dog Bowl Market.

Before the success of Black Dog Salvage, co-owners Mike Whiteside and Robert Kulp began their careers serving in the U.S. Navy.

ROANOKE, Va. – The loss of Louis Tudor this July struck the hearts of many in the Roanoke community, but his legacy will live on. His family is partnering with downtown businesses to raise money for a mental health center to be named the Tudor House. Simply Framing, Black Dog Salvage and Texas Tavern are selling old signs and frames. The initial plan right now is to renovate the old Tudor Biscuit business on Church Street to host mental health support groups. And since this has happened, so many people have reached out to us to tell us their stories.”

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Black Dog Salvage. Mike Whiteside and Robert Kulp, co-owners and founders of Black Dog Salvage, are kicking off the 11th season of their hit show, "Salvage Dawgs," running a guest house and music venue and welcoming visitors from around the world to their warehouse. The show turned them into stars and the Star City into a worldwide destination. "It's surprising that we're looking around at all we've done, but I think we've got another good five years in us," Kulp said. Black Dog Salvage is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special open house Saturday.
