Fetchorama.com is the web site for a real brick and mortar store called Fetch in Portland, Maine (there are other Fetches in the U.S., but we're not related to each other).

Fetch opened on April Stool's Day, 2000. We're on a mission. We want to provide dogs and cats (and their people) in Portland with a high quality of life, which means that we take fun (and nutrition) seriously. After 2 1/2 years in a vast (if you are a chihuahua) location on Munjoy Hill in Portland's East End, we decided that we needed more space so that we could continue to offer the freshest, most imaginative toys and gear as well as what we think are the best all-natural foods, supplements and litters. Since September 23, 2002, we've been at our present location on Commercial Street, in the heart of the Old Port's Historic District on the waterfront. We've got lots of ideas cooking for photos sessions, holiday events, seminars, readings and demos now that we've got plenty of space. Stay tuned for these events by checking on our Events page from time to time.

We tend toward the well-designed, innovative and just plain silly (buying the usual things you might find in HUGEMEGAPETSTORES makes Zip snore.) We encourage customers to have a good time with their animals, which sometimes means dressing them up. We've found that pugs are particularly silly, and that lots of pugs together are even more silly, so during the warm months we host Pug Night every Wednesday evening in summer. Check in regularly for what's going on in our events section!

Oh, and we believe that in order to enjoy the good things that come your way, you have to give back. So a portion of profits are destined to go right back out the door, to animals, arts and the community.

Our web site will continue to grow as we add more of our favorite products, and our events section will be updated regularly too so please bookmark us and check back from time to time.

Kathy, Zip, Max, Clarabelle and Judy

PS. We'd like to thank Mary Anne Lloyd for her wonderful illustrations and ideas, and ad loc. design for their patience and expertise! And Jocelyn Lee for Higgins Beach photo above…and Hannah Fettig for allowing us to use her black and white pug playtime photos…and Shoshannah White for her great shot of Zip sleeping.
