Adoptable Dogs at Baypath Humane Society Treated to Spa Day

Canine Company give five shelter pets doggy makeovers to get the ready to meet prospective adopters and find forever homes

Five adoptable dogs awaiting forever homes at Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton were treated to “makeovers” on Tuesday, August 8, to get them ready to meet and greet prospective adopters.

At-home pet services provider Canine Company sent one of its mobile pet spas and professional groomers to spend the day at the shelter giving the dogs the “spa treatment” including shampoo and conditioner, nail trim, ear cleaning and more to get them ready for their new homes.

“ This is a fantastic gift that Canine Company gave all of these rescue dogs!” said Cornelia Godfrey, Shelter Manager. “Their beautiful new clean and shiny coats will certainly help them win over the hearts of adopters.”
