Woo-hoo! Our Northchase Pawville pet resort in Wilmington, NC, just got a major pup-date.

A recent Grand Opening Celebration delighted pet parents with fun games, raffles, dog+human treats and special offers. Plus personal tours of this fully renovated, amenity-packed dog paradise, all 7,912 square feet of it. Celebrating this stunning two-year transformation since Pawville acquired the facility.

“We took it from old-school style chain link kennels to Pawville's signature townhomes with private yards and even a custom swimming pool,” said Pawville CEO Phil Miller.

Better and bigger: Three new daycare rooms with attached outdoor yards were added for indoor-outdoor fun along with an increased capacity from 60 to 80 luxury boarding suites.

See the paw-ty at the new place below!
