Our two dogs stayed three nights and just picked them up. They seemed to have had a great time and we felt that they were well taken care of. Cindy is a very kind person and a great lover of animals. We will go here from now on.

My dog was so happy to have stayed with Cindy at Love Puppy 2, she did not want to leave. Cindy absolutely does an awesome job! My German shepherd is very active & this place has the space for her to roam around in the front or back yard. Also, my dog was glad she was able to play with some new friends.

I would like to meet them first before caring for them. I would like to know if they are social with people and other dogs? What is their normal day like at home and where do they sleep at night? Are they used to being crated at night? Are they food motivated or food aggressive? And so much more. I accept all sizes/shapes of dogs. I require all pets to be up to date on their shots, neutered and spayed. Please no pit bulls.
