We know Sammy well. He is very polite and gentle. He will make a very nice addition to any home. Spread the word, he would be coming to our house if we didn't have 8 dogs of our own already.

This was a very hard decision to make but we have decided to not accept any new reservations as we will be closing the kennel to focus on our family. All current reservations will be honored. Thank you to everyone for their business and support over the past few years! ❤️🐾

UPDATE: We are boarding like normal. Please check with your vet to make sure your dog(s) have gotten the Parvo vaccine ❤️🐶

08/24/2022

We have some good news coming from the State veterinarian. At this point we will continue to verify up to date parvo vaccinations but we will be conducting business as usual going forward. From the bulletin provided below: "The discovery of these cases should not cause dog owners to drastically change how they care for their pets or where they plan to travel."

Ari and I have been monitoring the Parvo like outbreak up north and would like to update everyone on our plan. In interest of safety for our boarders and our own dogs we would like to discourage boarding as much as possible while the vets and the State get this illness figured out. Parvo is a very serious illness that progresses very quickly. With that said we do realize many of our boarders have plans that are not easily adjusted. Therefore, we will be providing boarding while still monitoring the guidance provided by our local animal health professionals as well as the State Veterinarian. We have been in contact with animal health professionals to develop a plan to help keep our boarders safe. One step of that plan is to verify all dogs are up to date on the Parvo vaccine. Please be prepared to provide vaccination paperwork for all dogs for the foreseeable future. With all that said we will be boarding under an "at your own risk" condition until this illness is figured out. Unfortunately we expect the illness to spread faster than a fix is figured out. Because of this we ask our boarders to keep the possiblilty in mind of a complete temporary shut down of our kennel as they make future travel plans. This would especially be the case if the illness spreads significantly into Gratiot county. Please understand these measures we are taking are out of an abundance of caution and respect for the health of our boarders as well as our own dogs. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
