Apologies if I am slow to respond to messages this week as we grieve the loss of our boy Cody

Cody - our grubby little bugger has left us. From the far north of the NWT he came to us after surviving Parvovirus and has been the best darn friend to so many dogs over the years. “Uncle” Cody raised countless foster puppies, wrestled all the Big dogs and defended us from those evil rabbits in our front yard. The house isn’t the same without you Cody and we miss you sooo much already.

Please share Tater - he’s bunking at Rufdogs but needs a family. He’s a sweet sweet boy who has been searching for his people for so long now.

Hey everyone it’s Tater again, please keep sharing so I can hopefully find my people or at least a place to crash for the holidays in the meantime.
Here’s my important info…
Looking for all of your help for our own little Christmas miracle. Help us get Tater into his home and family to stay. We have temporary arrangements currently with a boarding facility and need help getting Tater into a home. Tater’s needs: -work from home/retired/ability to be with him majority of the time. -Dogs are possible but requires slow intros and integration.-NO cats, kids or other animals. -People willing to put in the work to help him.

A story with a happy ending hits you in the heart but is also a great reminder why life jackets are vital to your dogs safety on the water.

Thanks to a red life-jacket and the community banding together, a mini-Australian shepherd named Maggie was safely returned after falling overboard in Georgian Bay.

Proud Dog mum Brag - Ida and I finally completed our first training class last month. While the original plan was to do tons of training with my “working” boxer Ida, her health issues and the pandemic slowed us down. Big shout out to our Vet Nickey Brown and the amazing staff at Campus Estates Animal Hospital for all the care and support.

Dear Rufdogs Current and Future Clients

A quick note of gratitude to the many clients who have been trusting me to care for your dogs in boarding. As well as my training clients who work super hard to learn new skills with their dogs. Thank you for the support, word of mouth referrals and awesome positive feedback.

Like many businesses right now - Rufdogs is experiencing a very high volume of request for boarding and training. I am now at Full Capacity for Boarding until August 27, 2022.

For New Client boarding request after August 27 - please call me directly at 519-994-0013.

For Current Clients - if you have an urgent boarding need please call me directly. Don’t leave a message - call back until you reach me.

While I’m doing my best, I can not keep up with the volume of messages across multiple platforms so if you email, text, message or phone me and don’t hear back within 72hrs - Please call back.

For Group Training -
Group Classes will continue to run with new ones starting this month for Family Basics as well as the Beyond the Basics intro to sports.

For Individual Training -
I will be Pausing New Training Clients Intake for the remainder of July. You can send a request but I may not be able to respond until the end of July at the earliest. Current training clients can always call if you have urgent training or behaviour concern.

Again Big Thanks to my clients, community, family and friends for keeping me busy doing what I love.
