Mall at Fox Run held their first Yappy Hour just in time to celebrate becoming a dog-friendly property!
Puppy Yappy Hour
The 100+ attendees had the opportunity to bring their dogs to Mall at Fox Run’s open environment, which is perfect for everyone to shop without worry.
The Portsmouth community and visitors were able to get portraits of their furry companions with the “Catch-A-Palooza” photoshoot by Sit.Stay.Smile Pet Photograph; a sold out activity that donated $1500 to Hero Pups, Inc. Along with a photoshoot, dogs were able to participate in a hunting, retrieving, agility, and obstacle course demonstration from Inspire K9’s.
