Come meet this adventurous sweetheart in person, learn her story and see why she’s been stealing hearts all across town. Regina’s ready to find her forever home - could it be with you? She will be available to adopt on the spot for only $25 to honor our Break Out of Boarding Event! Below are the details of her terrific tour stops: Regina leaves boarding at Cheryl’s Dawg House (906 S. Sioux Ave). We will have her out and about from 9-9:20 a.m. You are invited to drop by, meet Regina and learn more about Cheryl’s boarding and grooming services.
