New ‘pup bus’ owned by former UNC basketball player among the first of its kind in Raleigh

Posted Mar 30, 2025
The school bus stationed at Raleigh’s Jaycee Park is no ordinary school bus. While the inside may be just as loud, the noises come not from giddy children but from giddy dogs whose owners have booked their furry friends for a day on the Pup Park Shuttle. The business was founded by former UNC basketball player Baden Jaxen (formerly Dexter Strickland). (Raleigh News & Observer)
