Fashion Island to host dachshund meet-up today

Dachshund owners seeking to meet other four-legged — and two-legged — friends can stop by the Muttropolis pet boutique at Fashion Island today, as the store plans to hold a social event for the pint-sized German dogs and their owners.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., customers with dachshunds can get a 10% discount on Muttropolis merchandise, provide their pets with free dog treats and compare notes on length of body, shortness of leg and floppiness of ear.

Muttropolis is at 865 Newport Center Drive and can be reached at (949) 717-6888.
