Medfield Animal Shelter Adoptables Treated to Doggy Makeovers

Thursday, August 9 was a day of makeovers for some dogs at Medfield Animal Shelter on Old Bridge Street. At-home pet services provider Canine Company sent one of its mobile pet spas and professional groomers to give the “spa treatment” to several newly adopted dogs and adoption candidates still awaiting homes.

“We were so thrilled to have this special spa day for our dogs,” said Assistant Shelter Manager Jackie Walters. “Shelter dogs crave attention and need every chance to let their personality shine bright as we receive adoption visitors seeking a companion. First impressions count and boy are they head turners now! They came out of the van dancing knowing how beautiful they looked.”

The dogs treated to makeovers at the spa day were: Murray, a 5-year-old Beagle mix who loves children, long walks and snuggle time; Nagrita, an 11-year-old Chihuahua mix who doesn’t act her age; and Fluffy and Jesse, both Pekingese mixed-breeds, who received haircuts to get them ready to head to their new homes.

This is the fourth spa day Canine Company is offered to area shelters to help with adoptions this summer. “As pet lovers ourselves, we are a passionate about helping shelters in their mission,” said Jennifer Hill, President and CEO of Canine Company. “We know that by grooming these dogs before they meet prospective adopters, we can help create more ‘love at first sight’ moments that lead to forever homes.”

Canine Company provides at-home services that help people keep their dogs and cats healthy, safe and happy including Invisible Fence® brand pet containment systems and Manners dog obedience training. It introduced its mobile grooming service to Middlesex County in January. For information, visit www.caninecompany.com or call 800-818-3647.
