Mya is a beautiful red Siberian Husky who visits the Aloha BarkZone a couple of times a week. She loves spending her time in a good game of chase, which usually means that her other dog friends go home tired but happy at end of the day!  Mya also loves to socialize with the staff and other dogs. She is a chatterbox, and you can usually hear her “talking” when the doorbell rings. Mya’s energy and personality have made our days at the Aloha BarkZone all the more fun!

Soda Pop is a Mini Australian Shepherd. He is very active and will make friends with just about any dog in his path! He especially loves tumbling around with Tripp, a Border Collie mix, and napping with Toby, a Silky Terrier, when he is all tuckered out. He knows how to rumble around, but is also very gentle when it comes to the extra small dogs. Soda Pop is very well trained and is good at listening to commands. He is a joy to have around, and we love him for being him!
