Community Involvement
Dr Robert Forto, Team Ineka, Denver Dog Works and our other business partners are committed to being involved in the local community. We are members of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and the Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce and we take part in local events whenever possible. Each month we offer an incentive to our clients and customers by holding "drives" to support the local community. For any client that participates in one of these "drives" we will offer a night of boarding at no charge. It is our way to say thanks for your support and helping the local community.
