Happy Tails Dog Spa™ urges our Virginia customers to show their love of dogs and donate to a truly worthwhile cause by applying for a license plate to benefit the AKC Canine Health Foundation.

This new program will fund research and education designed to fight and conquer breed-specific diseases. The organization needs 350 Virginia applicants to join them in this endeavor. After the foundation receives the first 350 applications and donations, the license plate will be offered permanently, helping many dogs live healthier and longer lives.

It only takes five minutes to fill out an application. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Download the Virginia license plate application or pick one up in our Tysons Corner, VA location.

2. Fill out the application.

3. Write out a check for $25.00 for a regular plate or $35.00 for a personalized plate to the Canine Health Foundation.

4. Mail in your check and form to:
The AKC Canine Health Foundation
P.O. Box 37941
Raleigh, NC 27627-7941

Customer Appreciation Luau

This Thanksgiving season, the staff at Happy Tails Dog Spa™ has much to be thankful for, especially our customers! We also want to bring a little "sunshine" to November, so we are holding a Customer Appreciation Luau on Thursday, November 10 from 5-7 p.m.

The entire staff and management team will be on-hand to thank you for sharing your wonderful dogs with us. Tropical refreshments will be served, as well as take home treats for all dogs.

We hope you and your dog can make it. You won't want to miss the entertainment we have planned - sure to give you a chuckle or two! Please be sure to reserve a space in daycare, as we expect it will be a full house.
