No Barks About It

10/14/2026

Former No Barks PupK trainer Brittany is looking into offering a group puppy class soon - if you’re interested, reach out through her Collegetown Canine page!

Did someone say puppies?! 😍

We've had a couple inquiries about group puppy classes and are putting feelers out to see who else would like to join us! 🐾

Potential start date would be November 3rd @ 5:30pm. Location would be inside Triphammer Mall.

This will be a 4 week class focusing on puppy basics and building proper socialization 📝

Message, comment, or email us to inquire!

HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us pull off a fantastic Hound Dog Homecoming for STAY WILD Rescue!

Special shout out to the Strand Cafe for hosting and Brandon Fortenberry for being the awesome emcee!

We raised almost $350 which is being matched by a generous donor. Thank you all so much for attending and having fun with us!

Today marks 15 years since No Barks opened its doors. I don’t have a big speech or anything - just overwhelming gratitude for every dog, every human client, every employee that has been a part of the journey. The clients and employees who have become cherished friends, the funny stories, the millions of slobbery dog kisses and wagging tails.

15 years ago I was just a dog loving 25yr old who had abandoned her dream of vet school and had no idea where life would take her (spoiler, I still have no idea where life is taking me!). Thank you so much for being a part of this journey, I am so grateful to you all! ❤️

You’ve probably noticed all the plants appearing in the Lobby at No Barks - Melissa would like to formally announce the launch of Variegated Vibes Plant Shop!

Specializing in variegated and affordable plants, Melissa has turned her passion for tropical house plants into a desire to help others enjoy the world of being a plant parent!

Check out the selection when you drop off or pick up your dog - Variegated Vibes is open during the same hours No Barks is or by appointment. Each Monday we’ll post the hours for the upcoming week on the socials ⬇️

Southside Healthy Pet Clinic

A reminder that we host two Healthy Pet Clinics every month at the Southside Community Center in downtown Ithaca!

Volunteer Cornell veterinary students act as clinicians, providing routine veterinary care while practicing their clinical skills. We hope to see you at our next one on August 26th!

We are closed until Tuesday for our staff to take a mid summer break. Stay safe from this smoke, and happy ‘roots to all who celebrate!
