(Fargo, ND) -- A new business to Fargo is closing doors after their building was sold.

Owner and CEO of Rocket Dogs K-9 Aquatics Julie Saatof announced the upcoming closure of their building on social media. "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, that due to no fault of mine or Rocket Dogs, I am being forced to close my doors. Wire Properties has sold the building."

The closure came as a complete surprise to Saatof "This was the last thing I expected. They changed my lease from a 10-year lease to month-to-month." Her last day of business is on April 1st, but she is holding a "last hurrah" on March 19th. Anyone who wishes to attend the open session with their dogs can come. 

Members of the community are attempting to assist Saatof and Rocket Dogs through a GoFundMe campaign, which you can find here
