Vote for one of our own!

Celeste is service dog 🐕‍🦺 who is also the originator of Hope Paws and Second Chances. She is half lab and a whole bunch of sweetness!

Scout and Celeste playing while I was doing some work. Scout hates doggie daycare and her owners want her to have outings. So she comes along with me once/twice weekly and plays with the dogs I pick for her that match her personality. She gets specialized playtime and has a blast, then goes home tired. All while still implementing daily manners.

A little update for us going into the New Year! 🎉

We have made a lot of progress on our new space and have our first official classes starting Monday, January 5th! Have you signed up yet?!

By then the flooring should have settled and be ready to use. As well as we should have more progress in other areas done too!

We will have more individual lessons available at this facility and with weekend times, and some weekdays. So be on the lookout for those availabilities. As well as a soft opening for our retail area and open class structures.

I will still be doing in home lessons as well!

I cannot thank those who have helped us get this far enough!! It has taken a village! 🐾

As of December 31st, 2025, we will no longer be located at the Point Marion Road location. Yes this was a last minute change, we found out beginning of December. All group classes will be at Point Marion Road for remainder of December.

For the last two weeks we have searched high and low for an affordable location that fits our needs. We are happy to say that on Tuesday we signed on a location.

As of January 1st, 2026 we will have our location at Morgantown Mall!! With this move we plan on elaborating our services, expanding our retail products, and continuing to treat your dogs like our family.

Be sure to help us clean out our current inventory and stop buy for discounted products. I’ll post hours that someone will be there in another post.

If you have offered to help us move things, and I missed you in communication, Saturday at 10 am we will be having a moving “party”!

Classes canceled this evening. The building is sitting at a balmy 52. 🥶

Everyone stay warm!

12/14/2025

Due to road conditions and the cold (because the building doesn’t have a good heating source) I will not be in today! Stay tuned for tomorrow evening. I will evaluate how cold the building is and let everyone know! Stay warm and safe!
