Dogtopia of North Raleigh, NC Blog

Don’t forget that tomorrow, Thursday, August 26th, is National Dog Day.

We can not think of a better day for your pup then to spend it at Dogtopia of Raleigh.  They will get special treats a nap time so be sure to tell us if their are certain treats your pup can’t eat.  Also, the 19th dog through the door will receive a free day of daycare.  Now how can you resist that one!

See playtime is fun at Dogtopia!

Today we took out the pool and the Romper Room had a blast.  Lulu couldn’t even wait for the water to get in the pools before she jumped in.

The Group!

Lulu - you have to wait on the water!

Life is good for Layla today.

They had so much fun, we might have to pull them out tomorrow as well.

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.

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/.

Hailey and Molly

With the warm weather coming early this year, we have been using the pools in back.  Check out these great pictures!   They are all having such a blast.  No worries Mom and Dad, we dry them off before they go home!

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.
