Another paw-some day in daycare! These pups sure did enjoy the nice weather today! 🐾☀️

So Cool!!

You guys did it! Every kennel on our adoptable side is empty for the day!!!!! 💚🐾

Thank you SO much to everyone that came and rented a pup for the day! We haven't seen all of our kennels empty since 2020!

Remember, we do this all the time as part of our volunteer program. You can sign up at cmhspets.org/volunteer

What a cool way to help out! Go Rent a Pup for a day. Sometimes it cost $0.00 to give back in a big way!

❗️Please visit our FAQ post for more info on this event: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/zeD2Cg5ZpgCEYzJi/?mibextid=oFDknk

--------------

Have you ever wanted to "rent" a dog for the day? We have an opportunity for you! 💚🐾

Next Wednesday August 7th we are closing for a much needed deep clean of our building/training day. This means we need to get as many dogs out of the building as possible so we are opening our Doggy Day Out program to the public for the day!

Pick up will be as easy as 1, 2, 3! ✅

1: Come to the shelter between 9-10 am.
2: Go over a short handout of our policies and sign a waiver.
3: Leash up your pup and head out!

You can go for a walk, visit dog-friendly places or hang out at home. Who knows, maybe you'll find your new best friend! 🐕

Let us know if you have any questions!

We love everything about Grant Us Grace and so happy we can always be there to help when they need it. They are truly a wonderful family and we love our Ruby. When you stay with Creekside you automatically become part of our family too! Check out Tigers on the Prowl it's a wonderful event supporting so many groups helping right here in Columbia.

This is a post from husband, Jason: Creekside Pet Center is the best! We just picked up our dog, Ruby, after a two week family vacation, where dogs were not allowed. Creekside takes such good care of Ruby! When Grant and Grace had the first bone marrow transplants in the world for MSD in 2020 and 2021, Ruby (our Vizsla) was only nine months old. My family spent almost a year living out of state, and I had to stay behind to work and maintain our health insurance. At time of actual transplant, I spent 3 weeks with each child and Tonya Goodin at the hospital. I either flew or drove up to Minneapolis every other weekend from Columbia, MO. Creekside Pet Center stepped up in a big way and became our extended family.
I dropped Ruby off every morning at 0700 on my way to work. There were a few nights I couldn’t leave in time to get pick her up, and they never gave me grief and kept her overnight. When Grant had to be readmitted to the hospital with hemorrhagic cystitis and a pleural effusion, Creekside took Ruby with zero notice so I could fly back up to Minneapolis.
After Grant and Grace’s bone marrow transplants, Creekside Pet Center continued to support Grant Us Grace and won the bid on this beautiful hand painted Mizzou Tiger at last year’s Tigers on the Prowl charity event.
Tomorrow is MSD World Day and I want to thank Creekside for being part of our community and to everyone else who has supported Grant Us Grace and all the families living with MSD.
Your continued generosity will have a huge impact on curing MSD. Tigers on the Prowl is Friday September 27th, come out and join us and I bet you will meet the owners of Creekside there as well!

🐾Happy 6th Birthday, Willie!🐾

Go shorty, it’s your birthday!🎉 This small but mighty doxie-pit may be low to the ground, but his strength will catch you by surprise!💪🏼 Willie has been a daycare regular for a while, and we absolutely adore him. Whether he’s making a splash on pool days or rolling in the grass in our dog park, Willie always brings joy to everyone at Creekside Pet Center.

Thanks for bringing treats and a cake from Treats Unleashed to share with your furry friends!🧁 Let’s give a big birthday shoutout to this amazing pup!🥳

The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Ace turns 11 today! He’s one of the OG’s who has been part of our personal pack and of course our Creekside pack since day 1. At 11 he is spry as ever and loves everything in life whether that’s new friends, old friends, SNACKS (prob his fav) swimming, sleeping and everything else in life. He’s been a major inspiration from the design of our building to our logo (you might notice a resemblance) and all things Creekside. Of course he was adorned with cake, cookies, treats and toys from Lizzi & Rocco's Natural Pet Market by his biggest little fans exactly as he should be. Happy Birthday Ace!!

Life lately🐾

If you ever wanted to know how and why we started dog boarding, heres a glimpse into where Amanda and I came from and where we are now in life.

My grandpa used to tell my mom growing up in Ferguson, Mo when she grew up and lived on her own she could have all the animals she wanted. When she grew up and did just that, I can still hear papa telling her that she didn't have to take him seriously! My dad grew up on a farm in Cuba Mo riding Shetland ponies and doing all things farm. Together they let me raise almost any animal I wanted as a kid. Then I met Amanda. When Amanda was growing up in Iowa, her mom always told her she could only have one pet at a time! She always wanted more, and said when she grew up, she would have a huge house with a dog in every room!

Together the only thing we argue about is how many animals and what kind. So you could say having animals as part of our life isn't just what we do, it's in our blood!

A HUGE shoutout to the wonderfully talented, magical, story telling photographer Karl Bussen, Bussen Productions!!

Taking pictures of animals is never an easy feat but this production of 5 horses, 5 goats, 6 dogs, 2 zebus, an almost 20yr old cat and two feral children took a lot of patience and being ready at the exact moment when it all came together. That's Karl Bussen, elegantly patient yet magically ready to capture any moment!

We also have to give thanks to Grace Belew for helping out. She was a critical part of helping to adjust animals and scooch them here and there to get everyone in line or just be there to hold animals as we brought them out on to the road to. We couldn't have done it without her.

Lastly, a shoutout to Confident Beauti by Erica for helping us to stay looking good in 90 degree weather! Sweat and animal hair can ruin any look quickly but with her expertise and talent, this was not a problem!

It takes a village to make something like this happen and we're so grateful for all the wonderful people we know who helped conquer wrangling this menagerie into one single picture! We love taking care of animals whether they are ours or yours, we love them all the same!
