We are a family of animal lovers. We are committed to the best wellbeing of animals that we as their human caretakers can provide. As a family we've had pets from day one. We have all grown up with animals and our children have grown up with animals. On our homestead we have 2 fenced in acres for dogs to roam, a heated shop for their evening repose, and many hands for snuggles and "softing" (our daughter's chosen word meaning petting). As a small homestead we think of our duties as our chores but rather than being a chore we enjoy every minute. Every morning every animals gets the attention they need which includes their potty time, breakfast, and reassuring snuggles. Larger dogs spend most of their day in the yard being dogs while monitored for behavioral issues (we can't have fighting!) And smaller dogs and cats can enjoy the inside spaces of the shop. Smaller dogs can be outside as much as you like as well. We go to the city on Wednesdays so we can take animals over that time but there are extra criteria we require from you in order to do so. Animals in our care will receive a lot of attention. They will exercise outside, play fetch if they like, and just generally be free to be a dog (or cat). Certain special needs can be accommodated such as meds given and managing a special diet. Fresh water is always available inside and outside even in winter. Clean beds and crates are available as needed. We hope your pet will truly enjoy their stay with us.
