17 Adoptable Dogs and Puppies at ROAR Treated to Doggy Spa Day

Seventeen canines in need of forever homes at Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue’s shelter were treated to “canine makeovers” this week courtesy of Wilton-based Canine Company. The company’s mobile spa and two groomers visited ROAR for a “Spa Day” during which they gave each dog a shampoo and moisturizing treatment, nail trim, ear cleaning and more to get them ready for their new homes.

“As pet lovers ourselves, we are a passionate about supporting the bond between dogs and people,” said Jennifer Hill, President and CEO of Canine Company. “We thought a spa day to help shelter dogs look their best for meeting prospective adopters would create more ‘love at first sight’ moments for these pets. ”

Among the dogs treated to makeovers at the spa day were Herman, a 1-year-old terrier mix looking for a forever home, and a Shih tzu named Cookie, who is in training for ROAR’s Pets for Vets program, which places dogs with war veterans.

Also given grooms were 12 6-week-old puppies not yet available for adoption. Applications for the puppies will be accepted once their photos are posted on the ROAR’s adoption page later this month.

ROAR was founded to provide animals in need with love, care and compassion. Since opening its doors in 2005, ROAR has placed almost 4,500 neglected and unwanted dogs and cats in caring homes through Ridgefield and the surrounding towns. ROAR’s staff and volunteers are also committed to enhancing the bond between people and pets through education and outreach to enrich the quality of lives throughout the community.
