Spring is a time for new things, new beginnings and clean, fresh bright surroundings! Why not do some Spring cleaning and give you and your animals a fresh start? Check out our super easy ideas!
-Get your dog or cat groomed. Okay, so not every pet enjoys the bath itself, but most love how they feel afterward! Don't want to get wet yourself? No problem, our groomer Michelle doesn't mind at all! Book an appointment for a bath for your pet. You can book a grooming appointment anytime even if your pet isn't boarding at the time!
-Take your dog or cat for a check-up. It is always nice to have peace of mind that all is well, so consider taking your dog or cat in for a check-up with your vet to be on top of things. This is especially important for senior pets!
-Get your pet some new toys! Sometimes we get so busy and wrapped up with our hectic schedules that we forget that our pet is playing with (or not playing with) the same old, boring toys. Take them on a shopping spree and pick up some new toys for them!
-Figure out new ways to entertain your pets! Interactive toys like stuffed Kongs or puzzle toys, which are available for both dogs and cats are a great way to exercise your pets mind and get them some mental stimulation. Cats love the toys on a stick that you can whip around for them to chase! Haven't tried them? Give it a shot, your cats are likely to go wild! For your dogs, consider making them a sandbox as a legal place for them to dig and find toys and things you have hidden. Don't forget a cover so that neighborhood cats can't pay it a visit!
-Try a dog sport! Sign your dog up for a new dog training class such as K9 Nose Work, Fun with Agility or Fun with Freestyle! Sometimes just an hour a week devoted to you and your dog can do wonders for both of you.
-Get your pets a new collar and tag! When was the last time you got your dog or cat a new collar? Can you still see the name on their tag? If you can't or it has been a while, help them feel refreshed in a new collar and tag!
VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL
We have an offer you won't be able to resist! We are offering a 15% discount on boarding stays over February 14! That's right, want to get away for Valentine's Day? Now you can!
NEW THINGS TO COME
As if we haven't done enough renovating, wait until you see what we have planned for this year. We aren't going to reveal the details yet, but it is going to be big and amazing and your dogs are going to love us for it and we think you will really like it too!
BOARDING ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Don't forget that we offer enrichment activities for our boarding dogs. For just $20 we will give your dog one-on-one attention for up to 30 minutes! You choose (or let us audition different activities and choose based on what your dog likes) what activity you think your dog would like. It might be Just for Jocks, where we play fetch with balls or toys with your dog. Or, Water Games where we will up a tub and play with the hose with your dog. Your dog might like searching for food and would enjoy our Find it! game. If your dog is mellow yellow, then we may just hang out giving them a massage or one-on-one quiet, snuggle time. The feedback we have received since starting these activities has been amazing. The dogs love it. The great thing is that we frequently take pictures of these dogs during their play time and post them on our Facebook page so you may even see your pet up there!
CATS LIKE PLAYTIME TOO!
We wouldn't dare forget our feline friends! Cats enjoy one-on-one time too, this is why our feline guests staying in our deluxe cattery get individual attention to play with a cat toy on a stick, chase a ball or toy or just get some petting and snuggling time. This is also available to cats staying in our other cattery, just let us know!
WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK
We have been making many changes and updates to our website. Check it out! Also, if you are on Facebook consider "Liking" our page if you don't already for updates, specials, pictures of our guests and of course, photos and updates of our wonderful adoptable dogs and cats!
ADOPTIONS
Special thanks to professional photographer Mary Jones who has generously donated her time coming by and photographing our adoptables. In rescue a majority of the dogs are found online via websites like Petfinder and it is the picture of a particular dog that someone falls in love with. We are so grateful to have had Mary offer this to our adoptables.
We are so happy to have made some really wonderful and successful adoptions in January. Perhaps our most exciting is the placement of Yogi after being with us for a year and a half! We were absolutely thrilled when we had not one, but TWO families step up to adopt him. We found a wonderful loving home for Yogi where he has a senior Dachshund girlie for a companion. We couldn't be happier.
Our wonderful little Snickers was adopted too! He and his boy hit it off immediately playing fetch and ball together. We are so happy for Snickers, who now goes by the name COOP!
Sally was adopted too! Here she is with her new owner and boy are they happy!
Willie Nelson wasn't here long. This mature dog reminded us how critical it is to help adult dogs and remember that there are people out there looking for adult dogs that are many times already trained, calm and set in their ways. Willie's owner fell in love with his picture and when met Willie, fell in love with the real thng too!
Pancho lived with our trainer for two months! She trained him to do a number of behaviors and got him ready to be a wonderful companion. Although she REALLY wanted to keep Pancho, she knew that he would love to have family where he could be an only dog and someone's spoiled little everything. That he is!
Liam found a home! This little cutie pie wasn't here long and we knew he wouldn't be. Sweet, friendly and outgoing, he found a home quickly!
Patsy Cline wasn't here for long either! This little peanut who was found on the streets dodging a large dog found a wonderful home with a companion Chihuahua who loves her!
And this is just the dogs we placed in January! Please check out and share our adoptables with anyone who may be looking for a dog or cat.
