The weather has been great for the pups!
We know the cold is coming, and are putting up the tarps (not attractive, but super functional) to keep the pups warm inside and outside this winter, but while it’s still warm we’re getting them outside as much and as long as we can!

Feels we’re always behind on photographs, and we appreciate your patience with that!

We are needing to make some changes, and we really do not want to increase our rates, so adjustments to hours, our extras, and policy is what we decided on.

These changes do not affect any reservations already made.

We don’t make these changes lightly, and while we always strive to provide your pups with the best, we have to prioritize our family.
We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause you and your boarding needs, but have made them after a lot of careful consideration for our clients, our guests and our family.

Life definitely has been great out here!
We’ve been enjoying the warmer temps, it’s giving us a bit more time for all the winter prep!

Between long-term boarding, short term boarding, daycare pups, baths and walks, it’s been busy and a lot of happy tail-wagging!

Thank you for supporting our small business and our family! We appreciate it so much every time you choose us for your dog boarding needs.

Boarding - $30 per dog, per day
Daycare - $20 per dog
Nail trim - $10 per dog
Simple Bath - $10 per dog
Long-leahs nature walks - $10 each

Meet Babs, she’s a sweet 5 year old (or so) cocker spaniel. Due to no fault of her own, she is looking for a new home and we have been asked to help her do that.
She is crate and potty trained, not amazing on a leash (we’re working on it), has no medical issues. Shes energetic, but gets along with our boys (8, 5, 3, 1) and our younger pup quite well!
She got to enjoy a haircut yesterday and is looking her absolute best trying to find her forever family.

There will be a rehoming fee of $150 to ensure she goes to a good family.

Message us or call us at (605)610-6304 to schedule a time to meet her and interview to be her family.

Life has been good on the farm for these pups!

We added a small puppy pool, and clearly some guests are really excited about it!

We would like to apologize for our lackluster posting, and if we’ve taken a little longer than normal to respond. James tore his meniscus, we’ve had medical with one of our children, and all the fall events have kicked in for the year.

We thank all of you so much for supporting our family-owned business by bringing us your pups, or simply sharing our business with your friends and family!
Thank you!

Pictures and Heat information for today!

We are always being super aware of the weather, and given the heat concerns for the day, we will be locking the pups in at some point this morning.
We will let them out into their individual runs throughout the day, but they likely won’t have full access for the majority of the day, and we may not have them in the yard a second time (we did get them out this morning).
The barn is holding temps this summer really well, so we don’t see any issues with the inside remaining cool, but we don’t want to risk your pups’ health with heat values up to 112°

08/13/2024

We’ve got another picture post!!
We really do love our goofy, sometimes serious and always wonderful guests, whether it’s their first stay with us, or their 20th!

08/09/2024

So behind on updates, but it’s been such a great time having all your pups come to visit us! Here’s another photo post!

This is Spartacus, and he’s the best pup we as a family could ever ask for.
He has overseen operations since we took over in 2022, and has been such an important and huge part in our lives for 12 years.
We had to say goodbye this week, and we are so grateful for your understanding in our delays as we navigate this loss in our family.

We apologize for being behind on posting.

07/25/2024

We have dropoff/pickup hours of 7-9 am & 4-6 pm.
If you need a different time, please message us, and we will work with you!

We ask for this for two reasons -

#1 it reduces the amount of time during the day the pups are overly excited by the arrival or departures of other pups.

#2 we have 4 small boys, a somewhat hectic schedule and occasionally both James Drenth and Frances Larson-Drenth need to be gone to meet those needs.

We are a small family business that really just wants to treat your pups like they’re our family while they’re here, and we want to ensure we achieve that for every stay.

Thank you so much!
Here’s a picture of the smallest boy headed out for work! 🤣

It was a weekend jam packed with boopable noses, wagging tails, and happy smiles!
We are full for this upcoming weekend (we have a waitlist), and filling up fast for August, so don’t hesitate to get your reservation on the schedule right away!

Disclaimer - I’m sure I’m missing photos as I post this, since James and I were both out taking pictures and I probably didn’t get them all in one spot! Sorry if your pup was missed!

Trying to get the playtime out in the big yard early with this super humid heat!
Everyone’s staying hydrated and cool in the barn, but loving the extra room to run each day!

Long-leash walks are only a $10 add-on, and the pups love walking the pathways we have, getting their sniff on!

Boarding $30 per dog, per day
Daycare $20 per dog

Major photos!
We’re so lucky that we get to watch your pups while you’re on vacation, or just to keep them in a calm environment during fireworks in town!
So many happy pups, and so much fun! We’ve been terrible about photos, but we have gotten quite a few, although not always during their outside time.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope you had an amazing Fourth of July!

07/04/2024

We are BUSY the rest of the week/weekend!
We are so thankful for recommendations, kind words, and your continued support of our family and small business!
Please remember to arrive during our hours of 7-9 am or 4-6 pm unless you have spoken to us in advance.
We try to keep the craziness of dogs in and out to those timeframes so the dogs are relaxed and able to really enjoy their stays.
This also ensures we can get kennels cleaned properly, inside and out prior to the next pup.
No one wants someone in their space - although Maya doesn’t seem to mind! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

07/01/2024

Why choose us over somewhere else? Individualized care.
It’s not just something we say, it’s something we do. These pups become a part of our family, and we do our best to make sure each guest has a great experience!!
We thank our clients for their continued support of our small family and business.
Also, we know we haven’t been as great about taking/posting photos, and we’ll do our best going forward to change that!

What’s the easiest part of this business?
Loving your pups like they’re our own.
What’s the hardest part of this business?
Loving your pups like they’re our own.

Grateful for having this sweetheart stay with us, sad to say goodbye.

A glimpse into the cleaning we do every time pups go home. Here you can see James Frances Drenth giving 3 of our kennels the full clean treatment after a few guests checked out, as well as part of the main area. We remove everything from the kennels, vacuum, then apply a disinfectant and scrub the floors are bars, rinse and finish with a leave-on odor banning solution. Everything we use to clean our kennels is pet-safe. We sanitize and clean each of the bowls, and the beds get power washed with disinfectant solution.

Been an amazing year. We can’t thank you enough for choosing us for your boarding needs! We pride ourselves on providing amazing care at affordable pricing. Please consider leaving us a review on Facebook and Google. Please recommend us to your friends and family. We can not put into words how much we appreciate all of our clients, both returning and new! We look forward to seeing you in 2024!

Each of our guests enjoy having heated space indoors as well as a nice covered run outside! #dogs #dogboarding #dogsofinstagram

We’re looking forward to our guests over Christmas and New Years! We have had a few cancellations, so message, call or book online to secure a spot if you’re still wanting a place for you pup over the holidays! We offer indoor/outdoor access all day long, and a big yard for the pups to go out and run while the weather is still good! Give us a call today (605)610-6304 Rates increase to $30 per dog per day for any reservations made after January 1st.

We’re so behind taking and then posting pictures we do take, and we’re really sorry about that! We enjoyed a quiet weekend, despite having 40 dogs at the farm! 😱Here’s our competitors for cutest walking companion. We definitely didn’t take everyone’s picture, so we’re sorry if your adorable pup isn’t in this lineup! To vote - click on the like or love button on the picture you’d like to vote for. Also, our last winner was Millie, who will get an amazing goodie bag of Muddy Paw treats from Good Doggy Dog BakeryNow, she makes some amazing s’more treats that perhaps I should invest in as incentive for the pups to be pumped for photos! 🤔What are your thoughts? #dog #dogs #dogwalking

Dog walks are so fun - for us almost as much as for the dogs!! We do all love them a little more in the warmer weather, however. These two were absolutely loving it this weekend, and the extra run time they get is great!

We’ve been riddled with sick kids here, but we’re still taking dogs for walks and giving them the love they deserve! PSA: This post is from days ago, I may have forgotten to push post and only realized it when I came to post for the day. 🤷🏻‍♀️ New mom brain? Fourth time mom brain? 🤣

Even in the cold and snow, we love seeing the pups have a blast on their add-on walks!! With a baby arriving any day, please remember our drop-off and pickup hours are 7-9 am and 4-6 pm. Also, it will be my mom, Caryn, here at the barn to greet and help you while we are at the hospital.

Even when it’s chilly, our guests LOVE their walks! It’s such a great and inexpensive way to enhance your pups stay with us! Here’s just a short clip of the sweet Greta enjoying her walk!
