Dog Walking's Not Just About
Walking the Dogs
Sure, they need daily exercise.As you can imagine, it's tough being caged up most of the time. But, even more, our dogs need a gentle hand and a few kind words. Many of them have been without that for a while. They are thrilled to get some personal attention and play time outdoors.
Come visit our cats and kittens in their sunny play room. Help groom or just give a hug. They're always happy for extra attention.
