OUR PURPOSE BEYOND PROFIT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“to ENhance the joy of dog parenthood and enable dogs to positively change our world”<\/h5>\n

The Dogtopia mission statement is why we got involved in the first place. It’s the reason our passionate teams come to work every day. It’s our noble cause and what guides all that we do. The Dogtopia Foundation instills three key pillars into each dog daycare center.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Service Dogs for Veterans<\/h6>\n

We are committed to funding service dog training for Veterans returning home with physical and emotional challenges. Each month we host a variety of fundraiser events to raise money for sponsoring a service dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Employment Initiatives for Adults with Autism<\/h6>\n

We actively employ adults with autism at our facilities to help individuals experience a higher quality of life and an increased self-determination. This program has brought so much joy to our team, pet parents, and dogs!<\/p>\n

Therapy Dogs for Students<\/h6>\n

The Pet Partners<\/a> program has allowed our Dogtopia family to give back to the community directly, through their own dogs. Our pet parents love the opportunity to help students build self-confidence within their local communities.<\/p>\n

We want\u00a0you to be a part of our noble cause<\/strong><\/h5>\n

By choosing Dogtopia as the care provider for your pup, you also become part of our family.\u00a0 We hope you will choose to support our noble cause and help us enable dogs to change our world.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to meet you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
