Does your cat need an update on shots?? Check this out. Feline shot clinic happening this coming Saturday!😺
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Heaven gained an angel today. Widget was the BIGGEST little dog God put on this earth weighing in at a whopping three pounds. She told every dog she met that she was large and in charge. She was a constant companion to Nova, but Bill was her choice of best buddies. You may have been small little one, but you are leaving a huge hole in our lives. You were a special girl since the day you joined our pack nine years ago and we will never forget you. 💔🐾
If you need ice for your dogs pool at home, talk to JR🤣🤣
So what did we do when the heat waveJUST WONT BREAK?? We bought a commercial ice machine so the dogs can stay chilled🥶❤️🐾
We are currently in search of a groomer to add to our staff. We are interested in either a proven groomer, or training a hard working individual from learning bathing and drying methods all the way to clipper work and styling. If you have been learning pet grooming on line and need to do your apprenticeship we are interested in you too. All of our grooms/baths include ear cleaning, nail trimming and a**l glad expressions. We schedule appointments for Monday through Friday only. You will have weekends off! If you love dogs, can stand on your feet all day, and don’t mind getting wet from dogs shaking off, you may be the person we are looking for. This is a full time position. Call Karen, Monday through Friday to set up an interview. 575-525-8065. Salary dependent on your experience. Please bring your portfolio to your interview.
So it begins. A new van = new graphics! More drawings next weekend 🐾❤️
Go check your pets records! This is a great deal on vaccines👏
Praying for all families who are remembering their loved ones today. ❤️🇺🇸

Are you an animal lover? Dogs, cats, birds, rodents? Do you enjoy people? Are you in need of a Friday, Saturday, Sunday job due to being retired, or a school schedule, or need some extra money? The Animal House is in need of a happy, out going, reliable, friendly person to work the front desk on the weekends. Computer knowledge, money handling, and telephone etiquette are all major components of this job. There will be computer software training hours during the week. Hours for the weekend shift are as follows:
Friday & Saturday 7 am - 6 pm. Sunday 12 pm - 5 pm, for a total of 25 hours per week.
So if you are looking to be part of a fun, fast paced, growing business, think about joining us. Bring in a resume to 1646 Mahaney Dr. If you are retired and want to consider this a great way to get off the couch, give Karen a call and set up an interview. 575-525-8065
Two down , one to go! JR and Zee Bee qualified again today! She was rather distracted by the giraffe dogs in the next ring. She had never seen a Borzoi before😳
Only. My. Son. JR and I are in Glen Rose, Tx to show my Brittany, Camry and his little spitfire ZeeBee. Thank God JR came with me, because they are the only ones who did anything today! (None of the other class Brittany’s showed up, so no competition for Camry). First time in the ring he qualified in Novice A Rally. Welcome to Team Animal House JR!

There are all kind of upgrades happening back in Day Care! This is our new “Giant” doggie door for the big dog side of the room. Our plan is to be able to let the dogs come and go when they want, but keep the heating a cooling in and flies out!! It is working great and the dogs took to it right away🤗🐾❤️
