*LOOKING FOR A FOSTER OR PERMANENT HOME*

“Frank's story begins with unimaginable cruelty. Beaten, abandoned, and left to suffer, he came to us with both physical and emotional scars. We’ve been working through the trauma he endured for a few months now, and he is progressing in his training. He is looking for a home that is familiar with the breed, will continue his training (his first year will be paid for), and will be patient as he learns to trust humans again. 

We are not sure how he is with other dogs, he will be tested further along in his training, for now he would do best as the only dog, with no young children. He is sweet, playful and just wants love. He is house broke, and loves his walks - he is great on a leash."

When Rocky gets dropped off for daycare, he knows exactly what to do. He hops out of his Mom's car and runs right to our front door. He peeks in the windows, waiting for one of us to open the door for him. When he gets inside, he runs straight out to the play yard to look for his friends! Love this guy! ♡

In October of 2010, we adopted our dog Ofi from the Humane Society (original name, Coach). He was approximately 5 months old and full of energy. He liked to herd us around our apartment if we were walking faster than a snail’s pace (especially Jackie), so we started studying dog training to help manage some of the challenges that we were
experiencing. Ofi was an Australian Shepherd/Rottweiler Mix with black and white spots on his coat. The kids in our neighborhood, at the time, called him a hyena. 😊 We walked him twice a day, morning and night. We walked him so much that we started talking about walking dogs for a living. Jackie started a dog walking business in 2011 that
eventually morphed into Nature of the Dog, all because of our wonderful little Humane Society dog named Ofi. A couple of weeks ago, we had to say goodbye to our sweet friend. Ofi lived to be 14. We will never forget our little buddy, and we are so thankful for the impression he has left on our lives and in our hearts. ♡

Grand Rapids Dog Walking

At Nature of the Dog we understand that there is more to dog walking than might be immediately obvious. There’s quite a difference between a competent, reliable professional dog walking company and simply throwing a leash on a few dogs and heading out the door. We are fully bonded and insured, Pet-Tech first aid certified, and have earned professional certification through dog*tec’s Dog Walking Academy. You can trust us to care for your dog! Contact us today to reserve a spot on our schedule.
