Northland Dog of the Week

Meet this lovely brindle girl, estimated to be around 4 years old. She's a bit shy but absolutely beautiful. Treats are the way to her heart, making training and building trust a breeze. She would thrive in a calm home without too much hustle and bustle, as new experiences can be a bit overwhelming for her. Despite her shyness, she's incredibly affectionate and adores cuddles and gentle scratches. She already knows how to Sit and Shake, and she's a bit picky about her doggy pals, so a meet-and-greet with any potential fur siblings is a must. You can find her at our Zona Rosa location, where she's spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, and eagerly waiting for her forever home. She loves cuddling, playing with a tennis ball, and napping on laps. While she might be a little anxious at first, she quickly warms up with some love and attention. Come say hello to this sweet soul today!

This indulgent treat features layers of fresh strawberries, creamy pistachio butter, crispy toasted kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), and rich melted chocolate, all assembled in a cup for a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Originating from the popular Dubai chocolate bar created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier, this strawberry variation has become a sensation on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, with countless home cooks and foodies recreating it in their kitchens. The recipe is relatively simple, requiring just a few ingredients and minimal preparation time, making it an accessible yet luxurious dessert option.
