Connection at the Heart of Dogs On The Run

This past week at Dogs On The Run HQ was a celebration of what truly sets our community apart. We began with an elegant, catered dinner by Nucci’s in Vista, where our ten-member admin team gathered to enjoy exceptional food, conversation, and connection. Even our office dogs, Poppy, Yoshi and Biscuit joined in on the fun! It was an evening rooted in gratitude and joy, an expression of CEO April Henley’s belief that love, intention, and community are the foundation of lasting success.

The following day, that same spirit carried forward as DOTR HQ and our Admin team welcomed the pet care professionals we proudly partner with. Over beautifully prepared food, trainers and caregivers shared stories, strengthened relationships, and connected beyond the day-to-day, building the trust and camaraderie that elevate our work.

These gatherings are more than celebrations; they reflect the heart behind our work. When pet parents entrust Dogs On The Run with their dogs, they are placing that trust in a community of people who know one another, support one another, and care deeply about doing things the right way. Every shared meal, every conversation, and every relationship strengthens the experience we deliver. Your dog isn’t just cared for by a service, but by a connected, compassionate community that truly sees and adores them.

At Dogs On The Run, this is what community feels like.
