The City of Norfolk and the CEO of the company, Grow, Drew Ungvarsky, have decided that Muddy Paws Downtown is given 3 months to close so that a four floor office coworking space can take its place.

Muddy Paws Downtown has done wonders for the community of downtown, not only for its dogs but also the people. It’s multiple events have created a network of like minded people who all have bonded through this business as well as their furry friends. The business was much needed before it existed, and the people who run the store are nothing but wonderful and have taken the time to know all of their customers. They have truly become an integral part of downtown. Though we do not oppose a creative area to foster coworking with others, we don’t want to lose our wonderful neighborhood business in exchange.

Please sign this petition and write to your town council members, mayor and the CEO of Grow to let them know how you feel about losing this wonderful place.
