The Raleigh franchise of Woof Gang Bakery, opened by sisters, dog lovers, and long-time Raleigh residents Courtney Reid and Lindsay Trumpler, has been featured on ABC 11. Their boutique pet store shelves a myriad of products, such as toys and healthy, natural pet foods, including wheat-free and grain-free options. Within the upscale shop, decorated with chandeliers and festive displays, they please pups with dozens of varieties of treats, such as peanut-butter, cheese-and-apple, and pumpkin softies, and ensure that paws stay primped with both full-service and self-service grooming stations.
In addition, the dog-friendly duo hosts events such as Yappy Hours, during which owners can enjoy wine and cheese while dogs socialize with each other and dish about unskilled neighborhood cats that can't seem to chase anything but their own tails. Speaking of cats, Woof Gang Bakery has a Kitty Corner, where cat owners can stock up on natural foods for their felines. Courtney and Lindsay also host frequent adoptathons to find homes for community canines and to support local shelters.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Wake County was originally founded in 1969 to transform the region into a humane area where every animal could find a home. Today, it works toward this goal by sheltering and securing the adoption of more than 3,000 animals every year and providing lost-and-found services for missing pets. The organization also supports pet owners with classes to help them care for their animals and addresses the problem of overpopulation through catch-and-release spay or neuter programs.
At Countyline Equestrian Center, owner and lifelong rider Rebecca Rainey is proud to maintain what she calls a "little barn" atmosphere. That intimate atmosphere stems partly from the fact that Countyline Equestrian Center is a working farm—Ms. Rainey breeds horses there, the show horses live there, and it's not unusual to see chickens pecking the dust looking for pieces of fallen sky. But it's also due to their approach to riding lessons, which are personalized to suit each rider's goals and abilities.
Long before new riders take to the saddle, Countyline Equestrian Center's instructors help them feel at ease around the horses. When students feel ready, instructors help them climb aboard gentle steeds to trot around the 60-square-foot arena, then eventually bring them into the larger footed ring. Taking it slow ensures that each rider feels comfortable holding the reins, whether it's for a short ride around the barn or to compete nationally with the center's show team.
The canine-compatible staff of Pet Starz trains, entertains, and watches over pooches in the indoor and outdoor activity areas of its colorful, cage-free facility. Professional grooming services keep companions stylish, and obedience and puppy-training classes help pets master the art of sitting, staying, and memorizing the location of potentially dangerous wells. Staffers help their quadruped charges become more comfortable with other dogs and breeds, and a thrice-daily cleaning of all activity areas and kennels ensures pups stay healthy, clean, and safe.
