During our busiest holidays it is always a thrill to see so many familiar pups coming through the door.
Georgia sittin' pretty
Georgia is a sweet Corgi with the most beautiful coat! She has more a glorious mane than fur. She is the princess of the Lounge and has no problem sitting on that throne! We’re so happy she’ll stay with us over the next few days.
If your dog will not join us this weekend for some Independence Day romping, please take note of these helpful tips from The Humane Society of the US on keeping your pet happy and safe:
* Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
* Do not leave your pet in the car. Even partially opened windows cannot provide sufficient air.
* Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you’ve removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company while you’re attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.
* If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
* Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn’t leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
* Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.
Izzy is the sweetest, happiest German Shepherd Dog at Dogtopia of Tysons.
He frequents our playrooms for daycare and boarding. He enjoys romping with his friends in the Gym.
All of our four-legged playmates are unique, but Izzy is especially so! When he’s taking a break from playing in the Gym, he enjoys lounging in the Grooming area. He gets tons of love there, has a raised Kuranda bed to keep him comfy and is never without his favorite tire toy.
When he’s not spending time in his Grooming oasis, he enjoys playing in pools in the outside area!
Harry or Harry Doodle as he is affectionately called in daycare, is a beautiful, 5 year old, red-colored Labradoodle. If he were a full Poodle I believe he’d be apricot. But that’s a bit too girly for our Harry.
Harry has been coming for daycare multiple times a week since he was a pup ‘oodle. Upon graduating to our Gym, he became very comfortable right away. It’s as if he knew he belonged there all along.
There is one spot in the Gym, between two crates, near the radio, that has been and will forever be dubbed - “Harry’s Place”.
When he’s had enough chasing and running, he settles into his spot and takes a nap or just observes the room’s goings ons. If someone else has made the mistake of parking in his spot, we will all hear about it!
His funky attitude and sweet nature our both reason we love our Harry Doodle at Dogtopia!
Rags is a seven year old Schnoodle that’s been romping with us at Dogtopia for about seven years. Do the math and you can see why she’s one of our ODs (original doggies) or AKA, a Founding Fido.
- We love little Miss Rags, because she’s just the sweetest girl on four, furry legs. Just look at the expression on that face.
- She’s a love bug in the playroom. When she comes in she will run right up to you and as soon as you bend down to pet her, she rolls right on her back for a bellyrub.
- We love the way her front paws jump up and down when you pick her up! It’s like an enthusiastic, doggie wave hello.
The event is one of the biggest fundraisers for homeless animals in all of Northern Virginia and this year the need may be bigger than ever. They expect over 500 people and 300 dogs out at the Bluemont Park to enjoy the walk and all the fun activities afterwards.
We recognize every dog is not as lucky as Dogtopia dog, so we’re proud to act as a sponsor of this event and have a representative in the pledge walk!
