Casey was awesome! She was so patient and kind to Nala and Nala immediately took note and was comfortable. We will definitely be looking to have Casey walk and sit for Nala in the future.

Olivia and her sister did such an amazing job watching Harper for a week. My pup can be very shy and take a while to get settled, but she seemed immediately at ease with Olivia. Great updates and communication as well. Highly recommend!

Lily was absolutely phenomenal with Bowie! He took a bit to get used to her being the new alpha in the house, but Bowie missed her the second she left. So perfect!

Annual Dog Paddle
Let your dog enjoy the summer sun one last time at the annual dog paddle! Every year, right before the Iowa City Park Pool is drained for the season, the city partners with the Friends of the Animal Center Foundation for their annual dog swim. The Olympic-sized pool is open to all pups interested in doggie paddling the afternoon away. For our smaller furry friends, the kiddie pool is reserved. This is the one chance your pup has to take a dip in the pool, so don’t miss it! General admission is $15 but look out for early registration to save $5!
