Easter Egg Hunt
Thank you so much to all of you who attended our second annual Easter Egg Hunt to benefit our rescue organization The Dublin Creek Animal Foundation.  After years of rescuing unwanted animals, Sue and Katherine made it official last year by founding this 501c3, non-profit organization.

Most of our animals come from high kill, overcrowded animal shelters in the Central Valley.  All of these animals have to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and treated for any other medical issues that they may have.  Additionally, they have to be fed, trained, walked and cared for prior to being adopted.  Our fundraisers, like the Easter Egg Hunt and our Bake Sales allow us to raise money to help with that.  We greatly appreciate all of your help and support!

Adoptable of the Month

Meet Travis, our Adoptable of the Month!  Travis is a sweet and easy going cattle dog mix that was rescued from the Los Banos Animal Shelter.  He had been a stray and had been on the streets.  He came to us just before he was to be euthanized at the shelter due to lack of space.  When he arrived, we noticed that his collar was very tight, but when we tried to remove it, we realized that it was so old and rusted that it could not be removed.  Sue spent a lot of time trying to get it off and Travis patiently allowed her to work on it.  Eventually, it had to be cut off of him.  He was also very afraid of water.  Michelle, our groomer, spent a lot of time desensitizing him to the water and bathtub so that she could wash him.  He is such a good dog and is currently looking for his forever home.  Check out this video of Travis!  If Travis is adopted during the month of April we will also give a $50 gift certificate towards our Beginning Obedience/Manners Dog Training class that is offered at the kennel on Saturdays at 9am!  If you are looking for a dog or know someone who is, please consider our wonderful Travis.

More Renovations 
We are in the process of doing even more renovations to the kennel!  We are so happy with how beneficial our play/training yard has been for our guests that we decided to add another one, with even more features!  This deluxe play area is being constructed right now and will give our guests even more ways to enjoy their stay including a water feature and tunnels!

Grooming
We are now offering full service grooming including clips.  Clips are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Remember, your dog doesn't have to be boarding to use our grooming services.  Grooming services are even available to non-boarding clients.  Check out Sonic, who was groomed by our groomers!  This is a hand scissored "teddy bear cut".

Summer Reservations
If you are planning to board your pets during the summer, please make your reservations now!  We hate to turn anyone away, but unfortunately, we sometimes have to if we don't have enough space to accommodate all of our guests.  So, we ask that you book as soon as you know you will be going away to ensure a spot!
