March 23rd is National Puppy Day! Our furry friends are always ready to show us love and affection and they deserve some recognition. Take your buddy for a walk, give them a treat, and have a snuggle. If you’ve always wanted a pet, consider adopting from the Oregon Humane Society. For those of you looking to pamper your pet, here are a few local places that cater to our canine companions. 

  • Beaumont: Green Dog Pet Supply has made it their mission to specialize in environmentally friendly pet supplies and gifts for dogs, cats, and their people.

  • Gateway: Keep your dog feeling happy and looking great with Marlyna’s Pet Grooming
    services, beautifying canines since 1978.
  • Hawthorne: Portland Pet Supply Owner, Nina, is a pharmacist by training and had a love of animals growing up. She decided to carry a small number of vaccines for dogs and cats, which eventually led to the opening of her long-running pet store.
