November Newsletter

Welcome Fall and an early Happy Holidays to all of you!  Speaking of the holidays, we are already full for Thanksgiving, but we still have some openings for Christmas!  So, if you are planning to get away and need to board your dogs or cats, please make a reservation right away!

Take a New Years Vacation!
We are offering a 20% discount on boarding for the month of January if you book in November and mention the blog! 

Grooming
Don't forget that we offer grooming!  Our talented groomer Michelle will bathe your dog, brush him or her out, trim the feet and toenails!  Your pet doesn't have to be in for boarding to take advantage of our grooming!  Call to make an appointment today!  Sorry, no full haircuts, baths only.

Dublin Creek Animal Foundation
Most of you already know that we are deeply concerned about the number of homeless animals out there.  We have unofficially done rescue work for years, but we have made it official by founding the Dublin Creek Animal Foundation, a 501c3 rescue group that helps unwanted dogs and cats find new homes.

Most of our rescue animals come from high kill animal shelters that are over crowded.  We regularly receive emails with pictures of the dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that are to be euthanized that week.  When we see animals that we think we can help, we then set up transport arrangements for the animals.  Once the animals arrive here we begin to interact with them and evaluate their temperaments and decide what type of home would be the best for that individual.  We get them spayed or neutered, vaccinated and healthy and then we begin to look for new homes for them.  It is tiring and difficult job but also extremely rewarding.  It is also expensive to do and we rely on adoption fees and private donations to pay for the spaying, neutering, dentals, vaccines and any other procedures that need to be done. All donations are tax deductible!

Please visit our Rescue Page to see the animals we are currently looking for homes for here!  And, please, if you know anyone looking for a new pet, please invite them to check out our animals.

Look Who Got Adopted!
We are thrilled to announce that Hank, Charlie (now Truman), Consuela, Chiquita and Whiskers have been adopted through our rescue group!  Way to go!

In addition to our foster animals listed above, we also have two standard, black and tan Dachshunds available.  Slick is a 6 month old male who was bred by Sue who is looking for a show home.  Cinder is a 6 year old female retired show champion looking for a new home.  Inquire to Sue at the kennel.
