   Newport Center is an economic hub of Newport Beach. This neighborhood has the nickname “Fashion Island” because of the many upscale retail shops that are located here. “Fashion Island”, though, is a very dog-friendly place. Dogs are generally allowed outside stores on leash. Some stores and restaurants allow dogs inside, too. Newport Center is also where Muttropolis can be found. Muttropolis, located at 865 Newport Center, has all sorts of pet toys, food, and a vast array of dog items for sale. The store regularly supports adoption events by local shelters. After a hard day of shopping, a dog will want to go run a bit at the Newport Beach Dog Park at San Miguel and Avocado. The park is small but has separate enclosures for small and large dogs. Dogs are able to run leash-free in a round patch of green grass. Other parts of the dog park are concrete, rock, and dirt.
