What do the dogs do all day?

The dogs are placed in indoor / outdoor play areas where they can socialize and play with other dogs. They are separated by size, temperament, and activity level. If a dog is tired, they can take a nap on one of the many beds or couches, or in one of the cubby houses. There will be a nap time at 12.30-1.00 each day, so the dogs can rest and recharge their batteries.

My dog needs special medication. Is this a problem?

We all have special needs from time to time. We don’t view this as a hassle but a part of life, so we don’t charge extra and can accommodate most medication administration. We do need to be notified of all conditions, and expect specific instructions for such situations.

Does My dog need to be vaccinated or sterilized?
