Lately we have been made aware that some customers are having issues with our website.

We have looked into it on our end and have discussed it with our website design team - and it is working for us and them. It appears that at the moment the only issue we can find is when we pull it up on an apple device - we are assuming apple may have updated some of their security settings and is flagging certain websites that ask for personal information. Our website however does not ask for credit card information, but does ask for contact information on our contact us page, so we assume that is why it is blocking it for some users.

At this time the website designers have done all they can to fix it, if you run into the issue on your end still, if you go to the bottom their should be a "view more" or "continue to website" button. The girls here that have IPhones clicked this then reloaded the page and that seemed to do the trick.

We are sorry that it is causing an issue for some!

If you are looking for our hours or contact information here it is for a quick find:
Monday - Saturdays: Drop off 8am-12pm or 2-4pm and pick ups til 5 pm (but if you pick up before 10AM there is no charge for the last day)

Some important updates!

One of our local animal shelters is currently dealing with a major upper respiratory ailment in the dogs that are in their shelter. With that knowledge their is an increase risk of dogs in the surrounding areas to also begin to have similar ailments as these things are usually airborne and can therefore transfer through the air.

At this time we do not have any known cases of dogs staying with us currently or recently that are showing any symptoms of these things. However, we usually find that when one local establishment has it others start to as well - so if that changes we always do our best to alert our upcoming customers.

Upper respiratory symptoms in dogs are much like us; they can be caused by things such as Bordetella, Canine Flu, and other illness that cause coughing, sneezing, nasal and eye discharge.

In order to continue to keep all of the animals staying with us as safe as possible, we will continue to be strict about our vaccination policies:
-We require Rabies, Distemper (DHLP, DA2P, etc.), Kennel Cough (aka Bordetella, Intatrac, Parainfluenza), and Canine Influenza (we require the Bivalent version which is H3N8 & H3N2).
- All vaccinations must be updated at least 2 weeks prior to all boarding and grooming check ins.

Please make sure your dogs meet that criteria! If you come to drop off and something is missing or not done far enough in advance we unfortunately must follow our policies and will have to turn you away. From discussions with local vets this is the best way to protect the dogs staying with us.

If your dog is displaying any of these symptoms please do not bring them to the kennel or any other communal place to try and prevent any possible spreading. If your dog does end up displaying symptoms after a stay/appointment with us; we always ask that you let us know, we can only protect them so much, but in order to protect we need to know of cases to alert incoming clients of the risk. Many times dogs are able to recover on their own from things like Kennel Cough - but there are times veterinary care is necessary. What is affecting the shelter seems to be a type that will require veterinary care as it is taking a lot of medical care and some are progressing to pneumonia.

If you are able to donate or help the local shelters in any way, please do so. The medical treatments that they are facing to try and help the dogs in their care can be astronomical and they are a donation based facility so they need all the help they can get. If you are not able to donate financially, consider fostering or adopting one of their dogs in need!

We also have more snow in the forecast for tomorrow - as always we will do our best to keep our driveway as clear and safe as possible. We have no control of Wards Chapel and sometimes they do not clear it for many hours.
We always advise if you are due to drop off or pick up your pets to give us a call to check on road conditions - we will not kick your dog out we understand these things change travel plans so anyone is welcome to stay or change their dates if needed.

We rather our customers stay safe and enjoy the snow then run into any issues!

Wards chapel is "plowed" and we are cleared and salted! Enjoy your snow day like these doggos are!

This is what Wards Chapel looks like currently. Our driveway is cleared and salted but we still suggest staying home!
We are not sure when Wards Chapel will be plowed and salted but hopefully by tomorrow morning! If you plan to drop off or pick up tomorrow, please check in with us before heading out.
I believe we are still supposed to get more snow this evening but hopefully not!

Happy Snow Day!

We cleared our driveway - however - we turned around and it's recovered! It is going to be one of those snows we can't keep it cleared!
There is supposed to be a lull this afternoon so our current plan is to clear the driveway and hopefully keep it clear from 3-5PM so that if anyone really wants to try to come get their pups this afternoon they can!

However, we still advise that you check in with us before attempting!
At this time Wards Chapel has not been cleared or salted to our knowledge! While we were out clearing I watched someone slide around the hill going from us up to Liberty Rd, they had to reverse themselves back down on the wrong side of the road and use our driveway to back up and attempt to go back the way they came - WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING AND WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED THIS AFTERNOON IF IT LOOKS PASSABLE.

If the lull comes sooner or the sun comes out and allows us to keep the driveway clear we will let you know - but play it safe and stay warm!

There seems to be a consensus that we will be getting some amount of snow tomorrow.

IF Carroll and Baltimore schools are closed on Monday, please expect us to be closed to the public due to not being accessible. We never plan to close when there is snow in the forecast, but please keep in mind we handle clearing the driveway and taking care of the dogs staying with us.

The three managers are always on property and are able to do those things, however, our priority is always the dogs that are staying with us and ensuring they are taken care of. We do not force our employees to risk themselves to travel into work - so we may be doing all. Therefore, we may not be able to ensure the driveway is clear at all times.

We also do not control when and how well Wards Chapel is taken care of - so even if our driveway is taken care of and salted that does not mean that Wards Chapel is safe to travel. If you have ever traveled Wards Chapel during any snow/ice event you know that it can be very dangerous with the hills and turns. We have heard and seen many many accidents and do not wish to see/hear any tomorrow especially a customer of ours!

Please know if your dog is with us they are warm and comfortable and probably having a blast in the snow! There is no need to worry about picking them up, we have plenty of space!

We ask that you check here or call us before heading our way! If it is safe we will let you come but if it is not we do not want anyone out on the roads that does not have to be!

Enjoy the snow! Unless we get none! =)

It's Memorial Day weekend!

That means summer is pretty much here.

Couple reminders:

Today's hours are 8 AM - 4 PM, we do not close for lunch, and all drop offs must be done by 3PM!

Tomorrow our office is closed, we still have staff with the dogs, but we will not have any ability for pick ups or drop offs.

We are starting to book up for various dates in the summer months - please try to get your dates in ASAP. And remember we don't take just weekend stays as we would be unable to book week long vacations if we did. If we can't do something we can always add you to our wait-list.

We hope to see you this summer! If not we hope you enjoy it!

5/13/24 Found on Wards Chapel: Husky. If you know whose dog this is, please have them call 410-655-8330. We will be turning over to animal control this afternoon.

01/25/2024

If anyone is missing a lab we just got a call from one of our neighbors. Running loose near liberty and wards chapel... Was not able to catch.

01/19/2024

Wards Chapel Rd and Our Driveway are clear!

So should be ok getting to and from us, if we hear any different we will update.

Stay safe and don't wait till it gets dark to venture out if you need to go anywhere as it will probably get icier later.

Another Snow Day!

Ooh bother...

Our driveway is currently clear and salted (the treacherous spots mostly), and we are hoping that does the trick today.

However depending on how much it snows we are not sure how well we can keep up with it today - we never close for snow but if we need to we will call everyone that is schedule for pick up and drop off today.

Please call before heading out to ensure that we think it is safe! If we have to close the managers are always here to take care of anyone that is staying with us, so please err on the side of caution and don't come out if you can avoid it!

01/15/2024

We just wanted to update you guys in case you are trying to get to us!

There is a pretty big pile up in front of our driveway on wards chapel! We believe part or most of the road is closed.

Hopefully no one we know is stuck in it but please know anyone that's trying to get to us may not be able to. All dogs are welcome to stay the night, grooming or boarding, better to save than try to come get them! Let us know if you need to do that!

12/31/2023

Just a remind we are here until 4PM today and like drop offs prior to 3PM. We do not close for lunch today.

We will be closed tomorrow all day and reopen Tuesday 1/2/24 at 8 AM.

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

12/20/2023

Just to update everyone we are still booked up to the 27th, if you need anything after that we have a little bit of room so give us a call.

If you are due to come in please make sure we have your vaccination records up to date! You can email them to [email protected] or fax them to 410 655 8388. Most vets will be closed on the weekend and unable to be reached. Please keep in mind they are very hectic and may be busy and forget to send them over so if you have asked your vet to send them to us please check in with us and see if we have received it. Many vets have apps now and/or email records with their receipts so you may be able to pull that up and send it to us directly so you don't have to go through the vet.

We do require that all vaccinations are updated at least 14 days before coming in to the facility to ensure that everyone is as protected as possible.

If you do not have your records updated with us at the time of drop off we will have to turn you away to protect everyone staying with us. Please don't wait till the last second to find out if we have your records or not - we have to be extra careful to protect everyone that is staying with us!

If we won't be seeing you we hope you have a wonderful rest of the holiday season and a happy new year and look forward to seeing everyone in 2024 (please see previous post about rate increases effective in 2024!)
