Dogtopia of Charlotte Blog

Lyra and Wil are aussie mixes who come to Dogtopia for daycare. Like their fictional counterparts in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series, Lyra is a clever, active girl who loves to play rough and Wil is an independent pup with a rogue-ish charm. Lyra spends her days looking for excitement in the Gym. She loves to stir up a good game of catch-me-if-you-can, weaving around the slides and the futon. Dexter the Doberdane is her favorite partner-in-crime. Wil prefers to run with the kids in the Romper Room. Wilson, Gracie and Zoey are his best friends. At the end of a good game of chase, Wil and Wilson like to splash in the water bowls to cool down. It’s never a dull day when the Gensheimer aussies are here!

Gus is possibly the happiest dog to have ever walked the earth. He’s smiling from the moment he walks in the door until the moment he leaves the lobby at night. Gus plays well with all of the Gym dogs, but his absolute best friend in the world is Sawyer the chocolate lab. When Sawyer and Gus are playing, it’s like the rest of the room doesn’t exist anymore. When Gus isn’t playing with Sawyer, he’s playing keep-away with the toys or sneakily trying to see how many other dogs’ collars he can unlatch before the attendant catches him. This grinning goofball is such a fun addition to our Gym!

They say that “A tired dog is a happy dog,” and at the end of a day at Dogtopia®, Hank is definitely both of those things! This cheerful chocolate lab is playing from the minute he walks in the door. Breaks? Naps? Who needs them! Hank is too busy bouncing and romping around with his friends. Hank is part of our “labrador posse,” along with Sawyer, Gus B and Harry. These four boys keep our Gym active all day long. We love watching this happy boy play with his friends.

Dexter is a handsome Doberdane who loves to play in the Gym. “Wrestle, then rest” is Dexter’s life motto. His ideal vacation includes wrestling with Oslo, chasing Khari around the playset, flirting with Lyra and then shamelessly begging for a back scratch from the playroom attendant. Dexter is an excitable boy, but he knows how to relax in style, too. After a long play session, he loves to sunbathe on the outside patio or lounge on the futon to regain his energy. This gentle giant is one of our Gym favorites.

Jethro is a very playful boy that comes to Dogtopia for daycare and boarding. Jethro plays in both the Romper Room and the Gym depending on which of his pals are here that day. Jehtro doesn’t care which game is taking place as long as he gets to join in. He loves to chase and be chased, he likes to wrestle, and his favorite game is king-of-the-playset. Jethro’s best friends here are Quincy, Khari, Gus, and Henry. He also likes to hang out on the patio on warm sunny days. Jethro is an energetic addition to our play group.

Constance is a sweet, shy girl who comes to stay with us when her mom is out of town. She used to be very reserved but she has started coming out of her shell and is sharing with us her loving personality. Constance spends her days relaxing and playing in the Romper Room. Her best friends here are Bogey, Lola Precious, Sydney, and Boozer. Constance likes to play tag and likes a little bit of light wrestling, but her favorite thing is to curl up with a playroom attendant for some TLC. Constance is a very sweet addition to our Romper Room fun. It’s also her birthday this week, Happy Birthday Constance!

Sawyer is a very active young boy who comes to Dogtopia® for daycare. Sawyer loves to burn his adolescent energy by running around after the Kong, wrestling on the futon, and playing tag around the play sets. He also likes playing in the pools on the patio on warm sunny days. Sawyer plays in both the Romper Room and the Gym depending on which of his friends are here for the day. His best friends here are Gus, Harry, Khari, and Zoey. Sawyer is a dynamic addition to our daycare pack!

Jake is a big, handsome Boxer boy that comes to Dogtopia® for daycare! He loves to play and is a bit of a ladies’ man. His favorite play pals here are Margo, Pippa, Shirley, and Sadie. Jake likes to play keep-away with the Kongs and play tag around the play set. He also loves to get ear rubs and back scratches from the playroom attendants. He’ll even talk to us sometimes to let us know how much he loves coming to Dogtopia®. Jake is a fun, playful addition to the Gym!

Quincy is a spunky little guy who comes to us for daycare. He just loves loves loves to play and can’t wait to get into the Romper Room with his friends. His best play pals here are Snowflake, Boozer, Millie, and Henry. These guys will play chase around the play sets and wrestle on the futon all day long. Quincy never seems to run out of energy to play but he will come over for a head rub from the playroom attendants between wrestling matches. Quincy is a fun-loving addition to our daycare group!

Raleigh is a very active girl who comes to Dogtopia to burn off some of her energy at daycare. She loves running and wrestling with her best friends Khari, Shirley, and Sawyer. She really likes to be chased around the playset in the Gym but her absolute favorite thing of all time is to play in the water on the patio when the weather is nice. She just can’t get enough of the doggie pools and the water hose. But Raleigh doesn’t just come for daycare, she has also attended training classes at Dogtopia! Raleigh is an energetic addition to our play group!
