In 1966, Kathe and John McKenna rented a basement apartment in Boston's South End and began taking in the men they found sleeping on the street. They offered a cot and a simple meal
Boutique bakery featuring custom cakes, desserts, and gourmet coffee drinks.
Polka Dog Bakery began in the heart of Boston's hip and historic South End neighborhood. Founded as a tribute to a one-eyed rescue Boxer, Pearl, the comfortably cozy local-dog hangout keeps alive Pearl's memory and embraces her spirit of small-town friendliness and old world charm. Polka Dog specializes in all-natural and organic raw, dry and dehydrated dog & cat foods, along with hypoallergenic treats such as duck jerky, chicken poppers, lamb links, ostrich bones, and the largest selection of free-range and certified USA bully sticks anywhere. Rounding out the scrumptious offerings are the polkadogbakery's very own signature hand-made treats, baked fresh from scratch every day using the finest all-natural ingredients, with no added salt or preservatives. Birthday cakes are also available.
