CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – A block party happens this afternoon from 5-to-7 at the newly renovated Pet Paradise resort on Concord Avenue… highlighted by recognition at 6 o’clock of members of the Charlottesville Fire Department who rescued over 70 pets in the August 2019 fire that heavily damaged the business. People and their pooches are invited… with all dogs on a leash, with up-to-date vaccinations, and compatible with a bunch of people and other dogs.

The company will be providing sneak peeks in small tours of the newly renovated resort which includes Tiny Town, an updated grooming spa, personalized cat boarding, and enhanced fire safety features. Complimentary food will be provided by Ace Biscuit and Barbecue, and local craft beer from Rockfish Brewing Company.
