The center features dedicated agility areas, playgrounds for medium to small and large breeds, as well as a special pen for Teacup breeds. Basic obedience sessions with a certified dog trainer and a self-serve Dog Wash area are also available.

Mary Lou Perry, a Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) with over thirty years of experience in senior care administration, stated, "During that time, I was always thinking about creating a place for dogs and their owners—a special facility where they could learn, exercise, and have fun together." Perry emphasized her commitment to high safety standards, requiring vaccinations, flea and tick protection, and spaying/neutering for dogs in the playground area. She invites the community to visit the facility and learn more about their offerings.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Thursday, August 22, at noon, with North Tonawanda Mayor Austin J. Tylec, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jeffrey Ross, Niagara Small Business Development Center Certified Business Advisor Bree Bacon, and Evans Bank Vice President John A. Rossi in attendance. Following the ceremony, there will be a demonstration of the playground and agility areas featuring dogs and their owners.

The opening of My Lil’ Pawdise has been years in the making, providing a much-anticipated resource for local pet owners.

My Lil’ Pawdise is located at 384 Twin Cities Memorial Hwy, Unit #8, North Tonawanda, New York 14120. Appointments are available for one-time, daily, weekend, or monthly bookings.
