I have had pets since I was a kid (cats, dogs, even rescued a squirrel once) and love taking care of them. We've got a 6-year-old pointer mix named Bailey (adopted 2/12/23); and he LOVES playing with other dogs - especially the little ones! He's very friendly and cuddly, but can be timid and anxious around dogs bigger than him due to some traumatic experiences he's had in his past. I also have two children, Aurora (14) and Jude (11) who both LOVE animals. I keep extra supplies, like bowls, treats, toys, etc; so the only thing you should need to bring is your dog's food and anything from home you think would make them more comfortable. I have 2 extra kennels, one big and one small, but I prefer not to use kennels unless your doggo needs it. You can use my kennels instead of lugging yours around; as long as they're available during that stay (their use is on a first booked first served basis). We look forward to watching your furry friend!
