I will be a part of these amazing class offered by Plum Creek Canines, offering grooming advice, hands on grooming information for your breed and more.

The class is geared towards puppies but younger dogs of all ages are welcome

Who's ready for a puppy class?
Plum Creek Canines is kicking off our very first puppy class!

This is more than just a basic obedience class. It's a 16-session program designed to teach you how to train your puppy, build confidence in your dog, and create a calm, focused, and well-mannered companion through positive reinforcement.

🗓 Class Schedule:
• Sundays at 5:00 PM
• Wednesdays at 6:30 PM
• Begins August 3rd

Cost: $240 total for all 16 hour-long sessions- just $15 per class!

We’ll be covering:
• Loose leash walking
• Recall and engagement games
• Handling and grooming
• Basic obedience work
• Socialization with dogs and people
• Calm behavior in busy environments
• Building confidence in all kinds of situations
• Developing polite behavior without constant commands

This class will help you and your puppy learn how to work together, not just memorize commands. You'll also get access to a private Facebook group just for members—with ongoing resources, training support, and direct access to me for questions and guidance between sessions.

Owners are not required to attend each class session, but it is highly recommended to attend as many as possible!

If you're ready to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of success with your puppy, now's the time.
Spots are limited and only confirmed once paid—message me to reserve yours!
While this class is geared towards younger puppies, dogs of all ages are welcome!

Let’s talk prizes! We will have prizes! Everyone likes prizes. Human prizes. Dog prizes. All the prizes.

That word looks funny now.

Prizes. Priiii zzeees

Ahem. Anyhow we would like to thank our first prize sponsor, none other than the beloved BarkBox!! If you are not familiar with Bark Box, it’s a subscription box for your pet. Their toys are the BEST (I literally have hundreds) and their treats are amazing too.

Your pet could go home with their very own Bark Box, and you get to pick the size, any treat limitations and chew intensity. Win win! 😀

How do you win these prizes you ask? Follow our events and page for upcoming deets.

Dickinson Pet Expo 2025 - Dog Days of Fall!

06/23/2025

Now accepting new daycare dogs starting in July!
We're opening up 1–3 consistent spots for dogs to join our structured daycare program, with a minimum commitment of 2 days per week.

Our daycare isn't just about keeping your dog busy — it's about providing a balanced, enriching experience that supports their physical and mental well-being.

Each day includes:
✔️ Structured group play
✔️ Outdoor exercise
✔️ Individual walks for one-on-one attention
✔️ Engaging enrichment activities
✔️ Quiet time in comfortable kennels to rest and recharge

We keep group sizes small so every dog gets the attention they deserve in a calm, well-managed environment. Perfect for families with busy schedules who still want the best care for their dog.

Spots are limited, and we expect them to fill quickly!

🐾 The Need is Rising 🐾

In just the first 5 months of 2025, we’ve already distributed:

🐶 14,508 lbs of dog food
🐱 6,803 lbs of cat food
🚽 8,621 lbs of cat litter

To put that into perspective, in ALL of 2024 we gave out:

🐶 30,781 lbs of dog food
🐱 9,720 lbs of cat food
🚽 14,705 lbs of cat litter

At this pace, we’re on track to double last year’s totals - because more families than ever are reaching out for help.

💔 Pets should never go hungry because their families are facing hard times.
💪 We’re doing all we can, but we need your help to keep up with this growing demand.

How You Can Help:
🐾 Donate unopened dog or cat food
🐾 Donate cat litter (it’s flying off our shelves!)
🐾 Give financially to support bulk purchases
🐾 Volunteer your time
🐾 Share this post to raise awareness

Your kindness makes tails wag and hearts a little lighter. Thank you for showing up for the pets and people who need you most. ❤️

Please message us if you can give of your time, talent, or help us with monetary needs. We are always beyond grateful for any kind of help - big or small! 🫶🏼

Toba the Bird has been living in the shop since October when I brought him in for a kids event and he loved the chaos so much he stayed here. He has a very large vocabulary but is very shy about cameras (as you can see from the video) and talking in front of strangers.

Until recently.

He’s started to be braver and say hi, bye, and wolf whistle at people as they leave.

This is very awkward for me because no one realizes it’s him and thinks I’m just this super awkward person (which I am but I digress).

I promise I’m not wolf whistling at you.

To answer some other common questions:

🐦 he’s in his mid-30s and I’ve owned him since he was 11.

🐦 He does NOT like to be touched and will bite if you put fingers in his cage.

🐦 Sometimes he is out to the cage and likes to get into trouble and wander around the shop causing mayhem but I try to limit that to times when I’m not expecting anyone for his safety.

🐦 He feather plucks out of habit and has since he was young, so that’s why he has some bald spots.

🐦 yes that’s very likely him you heard barking. He barks more than any of the dogs here by far. He also meows and quacks.

🐦 his name is actually Toby but he chose Toba years ago so that’s what we go with (kind of like me and my preferred name of Seri)

🐦 he is an African grey parrot
