Downtown Dogs will be open on Friday to support our many clients who are first responders, healthcare workers, and others in critical roles that require them to be at work. We will be supporting the Day of Truth and Freedom by collecting donated items in our lobby for those in our immediate and extended community directly affected by ICE's actions. We will also donate a portion of Friday’s sales to organizations in the Twin Cities providing pro bono or low-cost legal services to those individuals.
