Rex's Place

Rex's Place No one should stay home alone - including your dog Your dog loves you - no doubt about it. But most dogs want just one thing. To be around other dogs.

That is what we do best. At Rex's Place, our enrichment dog daycare has a mission: We want to stimulate and enrich the lives of the dogs who visit us by providing them with a stress free home away from home experience. But just like at home, we have expectations. We are not just a place for dogs to run off excess energy. Rather, we have a unique socialization and enrichment program that creates a

a positive experience in neutral territory. And that reaps benefits We can reach and engage dogs on three levels: social, physical and emotional. Obedience practices play a big role in our every day routine. We challenge every dog 's ability to adapt, thrive, gain confidence and develop into a social, mindful and content canine companion. Dogs are taught to respect one another (and staff), understand their imitations and the limitations of others so that they can co-exist with dogs of other sizes and breeds. At Rex's Place, dogs will learn to play, chase, stop, come, rest and wait politely at the door until their name is called for a walk of lunch. If this sounds like something you'd like for your dog, come on by and take a tour.

We’ve had a great week!

Sweet mama Snickers came to us as a stray with two of her babies last week and now she’s spending Christmas alone in a kennel 😢

Her babies were old enough to be separated from her and truthfully, she was kind of over them. They’ve since found foster homes but as always, mamas take a little longer to find their happily ever after.

Snickers is a sweetie! She loves attention from whoever will give it to her and while she may have been over motherhood, we think the heartbreak from being alone is hitting her 💔 right now, we’d love to find a petless home for her to get some good decompression time and learn more about her. Can someone pls come break her out of here?!

We think she’s be okay with kids, she’s shown nothing but love so far. She seems to be housebroken and maybe even crate trained because she goes right into her kennel. Please share far and wide and let’s get her feeling better! ❤️ (her bio on our website is in the works)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! If you’ve been around for awhile you’ve probably noticed Kathy loves to talk about how great our staff at Rex’s is. She never misses an opportunity to acknowledge us. This year we wanted to flip the script so here’s what we’re thankful for, “Kathy edition” ❤️

I am very thankful for Kathy ! She is the best. She actually goes above and beyond and is empathetic to my needs and wishes. She also coaches us and counsels us to be our best and it creates a family-like vibe. I really am close to everyone here because of her. THANK YOU KATHY 💕🐾

I appreciate that she encourages us to continue growing and learn new things

I'm thankful Kathy gave me the chance to prove myself working here. she was so reassuring to talk to on the phone interview and made me excited to start my first day, rather than filled with anxiety.

I just wanted to take a moment to express how thankful I am for Kathy. Your guidance, support, and leadership make such a positive difference every day. You create an environment where I feel valued and motivated to give my best. Thank you for always encouraging growth and for the trust you place in me. I’m truly grateful to work under someone as inspiring and understanding as you. LOVE YOU KATHY❤️😊

I’m thankful that Kathy provided us a versatile workplace where we can connect as people with different backgrounds, experience and perspective. A nice workplace to expand and grow with a bunch of awesome little guys and a beautiful facility

I'm thankful for Kathy's uncut personality and her down to earthness and she's genuinely a great person. I can always communicate how i’m feeling.

I’m thankful for Kathy for putting me on with that dog training & for having faith in me & pushing me to strive for more than greatness.

Im thankful for Kathy for giving us the opportunity for a better life. The guidance that she gives us is priceless.

I feel thankful for having the opportunity to work at Rex's and having a work environment where I can feel comfortable going to those in leadership with any issues I have

I’m thankful to have a boss like Kathy. She always believes in me and helps me grow with the business in every way. She’s been teaching and guiding me. Thanks for all your time and trust. We have been through many things and are always finding ways to keep the staff and make sure our dear fluffy friends have a good time and environment at all costs, even through a pandemic 😊

i’m not sure where to start. I am so thankful Kathy believed in me & saw my potential from the start. I have learned & grown SO much from everything she’s taught me. She genuinely cares about me succeeding at Rex’s & in my personal life. She is so smart & has great advice about everything. She values all of us & genuinely cares about our happiness. She is extremely generous & goes out of her way to help the people around her. She has built a huge family through Rex’s, I am so proud & honored to be here. I’m extremely thankful she’s in my life. Rex’s is our home away from home & we owe it all to her. Thank you for everything Kathy ❤️

I really can't find the words to describe how I feel about Kathy. Kathy gave me a chance to thrive when no one else would. When the world was dark and cold, Kathy brought light and kindness when I needed it most. She's been patient, encouraging, inspiring, and beyond thoughtful. My entire life, I've always had a big heart, full of love to show the world. But, working at Rex's has shown me how big my heart truly is. I love this job and these dogs more than I could possibly explain. This job has made me a better person in so many ways. If it weren't for Kathy, I wouldn't be where I am right now.

I'm thankful for Kathy for giving me the opportunity to work at Rex's. Met some of the most incredible people and has treated me way better than any boss I've ever had and has pushed me to do more than what I do now. She knows we all have the potential to strive for more and helps us with whatever we need to be successful.

Kathy is a wonderful woman. She has given me an opportunity to work at a job I absolutely love! She's been so great to me since day 1 of being employed at Rexs. I know I can always go to her if I need to and she is there to help. Above and beyond. I am so very very thankful for Kathy. ❤️

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for but most importantly, we are so thankful y...

We’re a couple days away but here are three of our dogs testing out the new turf to make sure it’s okay before we roll it out to everybody else!

A followup on my previous post about Seaquel and Asia, a pet communicator. As a reminder, Asia said Seaquel told her there is something growing in her stomach. Turns out it’s true. She has a bacteria, who knows where she got it. Nothing life threatening but we had to change her diet, start her with a medication and an ultrasound to make sure nothing inside has been affected.

I feel so silly when I say a pet communicator told me something but this is the third time she has been spot on. Thank you Asia
