For the past 18 years, The Woof has maintained a strong commitment to its community. Through healthy relationships with local farmers, as well as the various local rescue organizations, fundraising events, adoptions and, specialized clinics and pet supply and food drives, the Woof has offered everyone the opportunity to be a better pet owner.

Owners Julie Paez and Pennye Jones-Napier sum up their  philosophy this way: “There should be a standard in being able to say that you can run a business well, give back to the community and make a profit.”

To that we say “Woof!”
