Thatâs the overall concept at Pup North A Pet Lodge, located in rural Eveleth. Taking over the established business was a âdream come trueâ for co-owner Mykle Hadrava, a registered nurse with a penchant for pups. She and husband, Tom Hadrava, have three dogs of their own â Enzo, Paige and Bella â along with a 3-year-old child and baby. The Iron Range natives are the second set of owners at the lodge, dubbed a âvacation for your dog or cat,â which Nanci and Dave Jorgenson, Mykleâs aunt and uncle, opened in 2010. The Jorgensons built a good customer base, Mykle said. At the end of 2020, when the couple decided to retire and grappled with the idea of closing the successful boarding business, the Hadravas worked to acquire a loan and sell their house in Duluth to purchase the pet lodge.
