Can We Get a “Woof Woof”?

A new dog daycare, Rowdy Ruff House, has opened in Maumelle for pups of all ages and sizes to play.

• Doggy Heaven: The owners have spent years making this dream a reality. The facility is large and spacious with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, and if they are overnight guests, sleep. Check out their Facebook page to see pictures of the space!

• Pawsome Options: It’s not just doggy daycare! Rowdy Ruff House employees treat the pup as their own. They offer boarding, training, puppy school and, soon, grooming. You can also swing by to bathe your pup at the self-serve wash. 

Check out their website and download the free app to make your pup’s reservation.

Events

The Wheels on the Bus Go...

With Our Little Rock attendees on board, the wheels on the Metro Little Rock bus went round and round through Little Rock’s favorite neighborhoods during Saturday’s Pub(lic) Bus Pub Crawl!

• Around Town: Attendees boarded the bus at the Rock Region Metro Bus Station located Downtown and made stops at the Heights neighborhood, Historic Hillcrest, and Stift Station. To end the day, the bus returned downtown for bowling at Dust Bowl Lanes and Lounge.

• What’s the reason?  Our Little Rock has a mission to make Little Rock more livable and highlight resources to residents. Yesterday’s Pub(lic) Bus Pub Crawl showcased Metro Little Rock which offers a vastly underused resource to residents of the area.
