June Newsletter

Oh my!  It is June 13 and our newsletter still has not gone out!  Why is that, you might ask.  Well, it is because we have been so busy taking care of your wonderful dogs and cats!  The kennel has been so busy and full of guests that needed our complete attention!  Don't worry, we aren't complaining!  We are thrilled to be able to have the trust and confidence of so many clients.  We appreciate the opportunity to care for your animals and set your mind at ease while you are away.

DUBLIN CREEK ANIMAL FOUNDATION
The Dublin Creek Animal Foundation was founded by the kennels owners, Sue and Katherine, who had been doing dog and cat rescue in the community for years, but wanted to make it official by forming a 501c3 non-profit rescue organization.  If you, or anyone you know is looking to add a new dog or cat to their family, please have them visit us.  Take a look at some of the wonderful animals we have available for adoption, just waiting for their forever homes.  And, we have many more, just visit and we will introduce you to them!






WE NEED FOSTER HOMES
Our rescue animals are fostered here at the kennel.  This means that once we get them from the shelter, we get them spayed/neutered, vaccinated and then they stay at the kennel with us until their forever homes are found.  Most of our fosters do great, but sometimes we have rescue dogs that need a little more one and one and would greatly benefit from being fostered in a home situation.  We feel that three of our current adoptables, Mike, Jimmy and Andy would benefit from going to a foster home.  This would mean that they would go to live with a family until while we continue to look for a foster home for them.  If you have room in your heart and home, please consider fostering one of these sweet guys.  You may foster as long as you choose and of course, foster homes have first chance at adopting their fosters, so, if you decide you can't part with your foster, you don't have to worry.  By the way, we also need volunteers to come by and walk our rescue dogs!  If you can spare the time, they would love to spend it with you!

WHAT'S NEW
As you know, we have spent the last couple of years making many renovations and upgrades to the kennel.  We are so happy with how well all of these changes are being received by our guests.  Please take a look at some of our guests enjoying some of the features that we have put in place just for them!

Water Yard
We recently added a second play yard that includes a water feature.  Our "pool" includes fountains and can be closed to create a full pool or a wading pool.  Some dogs enjoy playing in the fountains, others like splashing or playing ball in the pool while some just like to carefully wade or sit poolside for a drink!  Check out some of our happy campers enjoying our pool!







We also included tunnels in the yard for dogs to play in or on!  They are just loving the tunnels!




And, of course, for the dogs who prefer dry land, we still have our huge, fabulous, all grass area!  Here are some guests enjoying that area!







Lest we forget our feline friends!  Don't forget we also have our beautiful cattery where our feline guests can enjoy our climbing net, large screen TV and play time!




Our goal at Dublin Creek Kennels is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, happy and feeling loved.  We think that these happy faces say that we are doing a pretty good job!








And, as always, extra TLC is always included in your pets stay!
