Pawtropolis & Helping Paws Rescue

The city that's gone to the dogs...and cats too! www.pawtropolis.com Welcome to Pawtropolis - your source for all things pets! We do so in many ways.
(97)

Since 2001 our mission has been to create an environment where dogs and cats are safe, healthy, and mentally stimulated. Enriching activities – hikes, playtimes, pool time and much more – mean your pet has more fun and less anxiety. Pawtropolis’ trained staff consider the unique needs of your pet to ensure a pleasant stay. Our ultimate goal is to have every dog pulling their owners in our door and

every cat looking forward to Kitty City! Our Core Values:

We put the care of the animals above ALL else. We create fun and happy experiences for clients. We lead by example by being responsible pet owners. We value the lives of all dogs by rescuing abandoned, unwanted and neglected animals. We build trust with our clients by having high personal integrity and honesty. Our Mission:

Our goal is to create an environment where dogs and cats are not only safe and healthy but also mentally stimulated and having fun. We create an atmosphere that lowers the level of stress for boarding pets. We "distract" them by providing activities that are enriching, such as hikes, playtimes, socialization with others and much more. We learn each and every animal in our care and modify their boarding arrangements to make them have a pleasant stay. Our ultimate goal is to have every dog pulling their owners through the door to get in, and every cat looking forward to Kitty City. Our Commitment to the Community:

Pawtropolis is committed to enriching the Athens community. First, Pawtropolis works with clients to teach them how to be responsible pet owners. We provide training classes, resources on different topics, and a wonderful boarding facility for their pets. We promote spaying and neutering to all of our clients. Pawtropolis opens its doors to rescue organizations for adoption days and offers services for free or at discounted rates for their animals. In July of 2001 Pawtropolis started Helping Paws Rescue. Helping Paws Rescue is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming unwanted and neglected pets. We have a successful adoption rate and work with adopters even after placement to ensure life-long matches. Pawtropolis owner Amanda Crook also reaches the community by speaking to children in schools throughout the Clarke and Oconee Counties. She teaches the children about respecting others by how they learn to work with the dogs. She also provides them tips on how they too can help be a responsible pet care owner. Many of the classes actually raise money to sponsor Helping Paws Rescue dogs, and also participate by coming up with names for the animals.

It’s fun incorporating being a business owner into our kids education by doing career days, sponsoring school events, and being the business representative on the school council. Our son Grayson found a way in art class. They were making stamps and his stamp was the Pawtropolis “P”! Pretty good job if I say so myself! -Amanda

I’m excited to officially announce the coming of our third location!

Pawtropolis is coming to Malcolm Bridge Road late 2024 or early 2025. This facility will be much smaller than our Eastside and Westside locations, but will still offer all of our great services. We will keep you posted on the progress here so check back often! -Amanda

Good Morning!
This morning, our online reservation system, Gingr, mistakingly sent out 'Pending Deposit' emails to every email address attached to a reservation beginning after April 1st.
While we will be requiring deposits for all boarding reservations that are created after today, reservations that have already been created are exempt from the deposit requirement. For future reference, our new deposit requirements are located here: https://pawtropolis.com/dog-boarding/
We apologize for an inconveniences or confusion that those emails may have caused. This feature is new to us as well as we are continuing to find ways to better serve our clients and the pets that we care for.
Thank you for understanding, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Product Highlight!
This month we're highlighting the Outward Hound Puzzle Feeders that we have for sale in our boutiques. We have a variety of sizes and difficulty levels, so there's something for everyone!

From Outward Hound:
"Dogs and cats have four legs and one head. All five need exercise daily, both physically and mentally. Some require more than others, but everyone needs it."
This is Nina Ottosson's philosophy. The dog puzzles she designs are a testament to the importance of mental stimulation for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds.
