“Dear PoPville,

We were longtime customers of wagtime with our rescue who had bad separation anxiety. Wagtime’s website now auto forwards to Dogtopia and there is no mention of wag 2 location. Did wagtime just sell, or go bankrupt or…? Curious if you can find more info. Our family and many other customers had prepaid packages with them too and have received no communication since they closed for the pandemic. If nothing else it would be helpful to know what happened.”
