Congrats, Blake!

I’m realizing now that I didn’t post Blake much but he was with me for a couple months after initially coming in to work on socialization and leash reactivity. He made a ton of progress here at ACC and was successfully adopted out through Orphan Annie Rescue today.

Eva is a two year old, 62 # Husky girl. She is likely not 100% Husky but her temperament and personality are very characteristic of the breed. She is spunky, playful, talkative, and has never met a stranger. Eva is active without being over-the-top in terms of energy level and settles well in the house with sufficient exercise. Being a husky, she can also be mischievous and a bit of a Houdini, though she is not destructive.

With dogs she can be a bit domineering and is what I would classify as a “rude greeter”. Meaning, her body language when meeting new dogs can be a bit antagonistic and she has needed some coaching on how to interact more politely. Once she is acquainted with a dog, she is largely a gracious playmate and confidante, although she typically prefers male dogs. Not that I ever really condone dog parks except in special circumstances, but she is definitely not a dog park or commercial doggy daycare candidate. I also would not recommend her to a home with small animals or very young children.

Eva has been bounced around a bit in her short life and would love to find her forever family. She walks well on leash, has good name recall, and knows basic obedience commands. She is also spayed, chipped, and up to date.

It’s taken me a little time to make this post, but I wanted to honor Reece by giving her a permanent spot on the wall. This picture is from November of 2015 on Reece’s first stay at ACC. She was a bit shy and apprehensive at first but quickly grew comfortable with her home away from home. At 16 years old she was quite the cougar and enjoyed flirting with BB on occasion.
It took us all by surprise when she suddenly, peacefully passed away just after nap time here at ACC a few weeks ago. Her family and I are still mourning her loss. But looking back, it’s comforting to see how feisty and joyful she was right up until the end.
RIP Reecey. 🌈

I know I’m not supposed to have favorites but today I had to say goodbye to one. Victor has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and today was his last visit to ACC.
It’s only been a couple years since Vic first started attending daycare but it feels like it’s been much longer. I’ll miss his sweet face and how happy he was to see his friends every week. And I’ll miss seeing his people just as much, who have brought so much warmth into my life.
Now he’s off to join up with all the others who left us too soon. Rest in paradise, Victor.

Congratulations, Beavis!

I’m pretty diligent about choosing people whom I think are best suited for my fosters and vice versa. There have been placements that did not work out, for one reason or another. And I’m not trying to jinx myself, but I feel very confident about this one. Erin is one of the most dedicated, proactive adopters I have worked with, and is doing everything in her power to assure that Beavis’s transition into her home and family is stress-free. I really appreciate that, and can’t wait to see updates about their progress as he settles in. He’s such a sweet dog, and really deserves it.

BB is looking dapper in his simple but elegant, customized Ruff Handle Collar and matching leash. The leash can also be used on its own as a slip lead. It’s made with biothane material which is durable, waterproof, and easy to clean. I love how the neon safety yellow color pops on his (mostly) black coat, and even matches his e-collar strap!

I’ve been blessed with a very loyal, kind, and considerate client base that has grown exponentially over the last few years. And I want you all to know, from the bottom of my heart, that I truly appreciate you. I literally would not be where I am today without all of you and your repeat business, as well as your referrals to friends and family. I feel very fortunate to be able to say that I have never had to pay for advertising. Almost 100% of my business comes from word of mouth and I’m exceptionally proud of that fact.

As we are all dismally aware, prices are skyrocketing in all facets of life, and markedly so as it pertains to the overhead costs of running a business. I’m frugal where I can be, but I will never sacrifice quality where it matters.

So, (and I’m sure you know where this is going at this point) I need to increase my pricing a bit going into 2024.

Starting January 1st, 2024 the following rates will apply.

•Boarding: $45/ calendar day
•Daycare: $25/ day
•Taxi: 5 miles or less: $10: $2 for each additional mile

Note: the $10 discount for each additional dog still applies.

THE GOOD NEWS- I will continue to offer daycare M, W, F (weather permitting; by appointment only; excluding some holidays), with the exception of the first Monday of every month, which will be closed to daycare for a “Teacher Planning Day”.

Lastly, I will be accepting two-three new boarding clients for 2024. So if you know of anyone interested in joining the pack, have them reach out to me!

Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Love, Leah

Congratulations, Meatwad (fka Max) and Chestnut (forest kitten that my mom found and couldn’t find the owners for, whom ended up being adopted by one of the techs at the vet she took him to).
