Bourbon also affectionately known as Bourby is our park dog of the week!

Bourbon is a very very very happy boy who loves to just go go go. Bourbon often comes in with one of his human siblings who love to wish him a good day and watch him enter his room. Bourbon loves to play tag with his friends running around the room, over and through the equipment. Bourbon is also a huge fetch player and would love to play all day long. Bourbon loves everyone and has many friends but his besties are Indy the German Short Haired Pointer and Missy the Lab. You can often find them wrestling together or playing with the toys.

Maple is our beach dog of the week! Maple is a beagle and don't get her mixed up with her look alike Noble (i know i have). Maple loves everything and everyone from playing fetch to wrestling with everyone one in the room. Maple is very good about regulating her play and taking rests when she knows she needs it. She takes very few reminders that she should take a small break. Maple loves to keep her self busy watching everyone or getting cuddles from the coach. It's hard to pick only a few bfffs because Maple truly loves to play with everyone, but you can often find her playing with Honey the American Bulldog cross and Monty the mixed breed.
