Purpose Beyond Profit We “Enhance the joy of dog parenthood...” by providing clean, safe, and educational dog daycare to our furry guests and their pet parents. We believe in creating better canine citizens by truly S.E.E.ing (Socializing, Exercising, and Educating) each dog; which we believe helps keep dogs in their loving, forever homes and out of shelters. We also “...Enable dogs to positively change our world” through our Dogtopia Foundation. Our foundation features three worthy causes: sponsoring service dogs for returning service veterans, youth literacy programs, and initiatives to employ adults with autism. We host weekly Foundation fundraising events within our daycare center including fun photo booth days, special treats, and dog arts and crafts. At Dogtopia of Downers Grove, we have already sponsored several service dogs and are well on our way to sponsoring more!
