We now have to foster dogs here at Dogtopia.  One is an 8 month Shepherd Mix named Hallie and the other is a 1 1/2 year old lab mix named Lucky Lucy.   Plesae go to the Second Chance Pet Adoptions website at  http://www.secondchancenc.org/ for more information.

Lucky Lucy

How can you resist these two babies!  They both deserve a forever home.

Dogtopia has lost another friend recently.  This time it is my dog, PJ.

PJ was my inspiration in opening Dogtopia and I know he enjoyed every minute he was here.  Thank you to every one who loved on him and gave him treats.  He was pretty demanding on those treats if he was behind the desk.  A special thanks to my best friend, Janet, who has helped us in the last year when he became sick.  He was a special dog and will always be in my families hearts.  He was my pretty boy!

God Bless you PJ and make sure you say hello to all of our other doggy friends.

Our annual Charity Dog Wash is Sunday, July 18th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.   Please come out and support the Raleigh K-9 unit by donating $10 and having your pup washed.  We will have live demonstrations from the K-9 unit at 12:15 and 1:45 pm.  ECO Paws, Gourmutts, Bowman Animal Hospital, The Pet Necklace, Dynamic Dog and more will be as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

Hello everyone!   We have two adorable puppies that are six months old.  Hallie and Molly are both from second chance and are looking for a forever home.  For more information, please visit the Second Chance website at http://www.secondchancenc.org/.

Please say hello to Sweet Sallie.  She is our new foster dog and is looking for that forever home.

Sweet Sallie

She is a happy dog that was found on along side of a country road.   Sallie absolutely loves to be petted and  love interacting with my humans.   She is house broken and crate trained.   Also up to date on all my shots and spayed.   She can get a little nervous around new animals, but once she has a chance to check them out, they will become best friends.   She lived on a chain outside most of her life so she is just learning the easy commands.

You will have to meet this one!  She would make a great addition to anyone’s home.
