Hello, my name is Dana Z, owner and operator of Dogma Boarding LLC I started Dogma to give your dog a comfortable and enjoyable place to be while providing you with peace of mind. Your dogs' happiness and safety is my priority, I treat all dogs as if they are my own. Work and travel may be stressful but you can know your beloved fuzzball will be happy and safe while they are here. My home is accessible and cozy: Rugs to maintain traction, provide soft play space and take naps. A fully fenced yard with an astro-turf patio and mulched area for even more play space and sunbathing. Senior and special needs dogs are more than welcome. While here, your dog will be a part of small group, which means they will receive tons of individual love & attention and always have the option to play, go outside or take a quiet nap. When dog-dynamics allow, we go for walks around the neighborhood. Everyone from Malamutes to Min Pins have enjoyed their time here. All Dogs Must Be: - Spayed or Neutered. - Housebroken. - Up to date on all vaccinations. - Friendly, or at least tolerant, to other dogs. *To ensure a positive boarding experience for everyone, at least one full day of daycare is required prior to a confirmed boarding reservation. A little more about me and my experience: I have cared for animals all my life. I love nature and the outside, I like dogs more than most people. My work experience includes shift-lead and pack management at large daycare and boarding facilities in Portland, hospitality and property management. My darling old dog, Daisy, passed away on October 15th of this year. She was 15 years old and live a life full of adventure and love. Her adopted little-sister, Mini, was a special needs dog, who spread sunshine and smiles everywhere she went. Mini passed away August 24th, 2020 from bone cancer. Having dogs in my life helps me thrive and I am so grateful to be able to host dogs in my home. One of the best compliments I ever received was 'I don't want Dana's dogs, I want to BE Dana's dogs.'
