The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop The Dog Stop Metairie, a 10,000 sq. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.

ft dog care facility, features luxury dog boarding accommodations, an indoor/outdoor interactive & social daycare experience, a spa-like dog grooming retreat, holistic retail store, & much more. The owners of The Dog Stop® spent several years researching the pet care industry, surveying the needs of local pet owners, and planning an all-inclusive facility after they saw a lack of transparency in t

he industry. Their goal was to create a fun and safe environment where dogs would love to come and play, and pet owners would feel 100% confident in the superior care that their dogs were receiving. In 2009, the first The Dog Stop® doors opened in Pittsburgh, PA. Since that day, The Dog Stop’s mission has been to deliver a superior experience for the dogs and their whole families by providing a safe environment, offering educational opportunities, anticipating and exceeding the needs of clients and their pet companions, instilling complete peace of mind for those we serve – and to earn their trust every day! Today, there are over 20 Stops throughout the United States! Each Stop is locally owned and operated, but was bred and trained on the original The Dog Stop morals and mission. The Dog Stop® is here to offer an honest and reliable pet care solution so that you can be the awesome pet parent you need to be!

Say hello to Chicory! 🐶 This adorable pup came to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) as a stray and has blossomed into a joyful and loving companion. Though she was initially a bit nervous, Chicory has made incredible progress in building her confidence. She's a pint-sized cuddle bug who adores attention—especially after getting her zoomies out! 🐾

Treats are the way to Chicory's heart, and she's learning that humans can be her best friends. If you have another dog at home, it is recommended to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if they’re a perfect match. Stop by HARP's East Side shelter to meet this little sweetheart! 💗

🐾 Meet Larry! 🐾 This sweet, affectionate pup is ready to charm his way into a loving home! 🏡❤️ Larry came to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) as a stray, so his past is a mystery, but his future is looking brighter than ever. 🌟Larry would thrive in an active household where he can channel his energy into fun activities like scent games and soak up all the love he deserves. 💕 While he has a few manageable health quirks, HARP’s team is happy to share more details with potential adopters. He’s selective with his canine pals (quality over quantity, of course 😉) and would do best in a home without cats or small animals.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion bursting with personality and ready to bring endless joy to your life, Larry might be your perfect match!❤️ Stop by and meet him at HARP's East Side Shelter. 🏠🐕
