Services
Doggy Daycare
Our cage-free daycare offers structured play, socialization, and nap times in a 8,000 sq ft facility. Dogs enjoy constant outdoor access, filtered water, and play equipment. Staff monitor behavior to prevent stress and ensure safety, with a focus on reducing anxiety and improving social skills through consistent interaction.
Overnight Boarding
Boarding includes cage-free daytime socialization and quiet overnight kennels. Services feature late-night potty breaks, medication administration, and 24/7 surveillance. Dogs must attend daycare regularly to ensure pack compatibility, with special care for first-time boarders through gradual acclimation.
Foster Care Program
We partner with shelters to provide temporary housing and socialization for homeless dogs. Fostered pets receive daily playtime and care, increasing their adoptability. The program emphasizes behavioral training to prepare dogs for permanent homes, reflecting our commitment to animal welfare.
Temperament Testing
New dogs undergo a temperament test to evaluate social skills and compatibility with our pack. The process includes gradual introductions to daycare dogs, monitoring for anxiety or aggression, and ensuring comfort in kennels. Successful completion grants access to full services.
Daily Socialization
Structured group activities like fetch and bubble play promote physical exercise and social learning. Staff guide interactions to teach respect between dogs of different sizes and breeds, reducing fear and aggression while fostering confidence and balanced energy levels.
