Pawtropolis & Helping Paws Rescue The city that's gone to the dogs...and cats too! https://linktr.ee/barkpawtropolis Welcome to Pawtropolis - your source for all things pets!
(205)

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. We do so in many ways. 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.

Meet the Staff Monday: Eastside Edition
Meet Dove!
Dove grew up in Lawrenceville but then moved to Oglethorpe County and with the move his parents promised him a dog. They adopted an adorable corgi chihuahua mix named Curl E Fry, that is when he fell in love with animals of all types. He is attending University of North Georgia majoring in Environmental Spatial Analysis. Pawtropolis is his first job and his favorite part is getting to hang out with all the dogs!! He loves getting to learn all of their individual personalities. Dove currently has a guinea pig named Salem.
Outside of work he enjoys roller skating, hiking, camping and hanging out with his friends. Prior to working at Pawtropolis he volunteered at two local animal shelters and a local rescue farm. Dove’s goals for the future would be to use his degree to work in a national park, he thinks it would be a great experience.
Fun Facts about Dove: he was in his local 4-H club for 9 years and hopes to be a
4-H counselor one day. He played the flute and piccolo in marching band. Dove’s dream dog is a pitty or a staffy.

We always love to promote good manners for the pups, so we challenged our our caretakers to see how many dogs they could get in a nice sit at the same time. Our Eastside location took the win with eight. They earned some extra snacks for their W. Congratulations Eastside!
