Lenny the golden retriever is ready to serve his fellow pup friends at his parents new mobile pet shop cafe.

‘Lenny’s pup shop’ will be debuting at Apex Park for its grand opening on Saturday, March 16.

Melissa Ah -Yu and her fiance Josh Dale are excited to give back to their community through a first of its kind pet shop cafe on wheels.

Serving dogs, puppuccinos, protein bowls, natural 100 per cent ingredient treats and toys.

“We thought it would be funny if you could take your dog out for a coffee, as I love going for coffee and taking Lenny,” she said. “Everything fell into place and we decided to make it mobile.

“We have lived in Altona for a bit now and we love the community here and there’s so many dogs.”

Ms Ah -Yu and Mr Dale said they always wanted to build a community and do something to bring people together.

“We will also be running 10 per cent off storewide on the day, and hosting a fundraising raffle where 100 per of the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Lost Dogs Home shelter,” she said.

“We have adopted a lot of our pets so this just made sense, we have also noticed an increase of dogs and cats in the shelters and it is just awful.

“So part of our practice and part of our vision and mission is to be able to give back.

Mr Dale said the raffle prize will be drawn on March 17.
