***Now accepting new pack members!*** If you have a well socialized dog that can play gentle with Cats, a Land Tortoise, and other Dogs both Large and Small, you'll fit in with our current pack very nicely! Senior and Special Needs Dogs Welcome too! I have a special place in my heart for these sweet souls, often rearranging the entire house and always going the extra mile to accommodate pups that need a bit of extra attention to have a safe and fun time here... In fact, Ziggy the Deaf white Boxer is the Host of our Doggie Daycare and Overnight Boarding! He communicates with sign language, and we find that many of his friends pick up on his hand signals like "Let's go outside" which is always a lot of fun. Ziggy is 8 years old, so he plays with the high energy of a Boxer all morning, and then he naps all day, so he enjoys both high energy and low energy friends, and he makes sure everyone has the type of environment they need, whether its playtime or naptime. I've been caring for lots of different animals for more than 30 years, from domestic to exotic species. I've received training to work with Special Needs Animals, and I've also completed academic course work in Dog Psychology. I consider it a true blessing when any creature crosses my path... I adore getting to know each one on a truly genuine level, always adjusting my approach and even the environment as needed. Every pet is made to feel at home, so they experience a truly joyful and magical day... as you'll see with the photos and videos I send your way! Accidents happen, furniture takes a beating, gardens get uprooted, and innocent faces and puppy dog eyes emerge through it all! Distraction, positive reinforcement and an excellent sense of humor is my response when mischief occurs... I've seen it all! Someone is usually home 24/7 with the pack. We reserve short excursions out of the house during slower times when there are fewer dogs visiting, so your baby will be personally supervised for the majority of their stay. I also have cameras to monitor the fun when we step out. All pups that visit for Daycare or Boarding mingle and share all living spaces and the yard. Therefore, care is taken to ensure that all the dogs will share toys and play nicely with one another. Introductions are taken slowly, and compatible groupings are planned out ahead of time, so I do recommend booking in advance. If you're booking an overnight stay, and your dog has never been here before, we'll need to book at least one day of Doggie Daycare ahead of time so I can see how your baby fits into the daily routine with the Cats and other Dogs, before proceeding with an overnight stay. This also helps your pup feel comfortable and loved when they return for their Staycation!
