Happy Anniversary Sunset Farm!
…our home, Tall Tails’ home, the sanctuary for many rescued farm animals & haven to many beautiful wildlife creatures.

Come for a tour of the boarding resort, bring your pet for some abundant “home-away-from -home” TLC and feel the magic of the Sunset Farm!

“Sign, Sign, everywhere a Sign…”

The S I G N S are everywhere….
that we love & care for your pups like they’re our own!
Our dynamic Team puts their A L L into being certain that your special babies feel like this is their home away from home. 💛
When one of our kennel guests was being especially finicky with his meals & essential meds, one of our Managers, Toni, swooped in and saved the day with a home-cooked filet mignon just for this special guest!
We’re so proud of our Team for always being at the ready to go above and beyond…and we’re always so thrilled to give all of these pets extra special attention, love and care.
Call 610-760-2411 to reserve your pet’s special dose of TLC at our boarding resort!
Welcome Home!💙💚💙

T E L L Y O U R S T O RY !
So many great relationships out there between dog and person deserve recognition…
We want you to share yours so post your pic & story to our page! 💛🌟💛
Here is my story with my Libby-Girl to get you started… 

Libby & Cassie (aka Crash & Grace, Thelma & Louise, The Doublemint Twins!) are sisters. Over the last decade, Cassie’s mom Anne & I were able to gift them continued relationship, play dates, swim dates, friendship, birthday parties and tennis balls… many, many tennis balls!
And over this past decade, their relationship has gifted me & Anne with a very special friendship as well.

It’s amazing how our pets and our deep relationships with them can forge such beautiful friendships elsewhere in our lives… What special things have you and your dog gifted each other in your relationship?
Have you traveled to interesting places with them? Have you done amazingly fun things like restaurants or outdoor concerts with them?
Tell us your stories of your adventures so you can inspire others to enjoy relationships to their fullest!

Training is about creating beautiful
R E L A T I O N SH I P S !
It’s about parenting with guidelines, great communication, encouragement and most of all…
U N D E R S T A N D I N G 🌟

Creating a great relationship is about wanting the best for your dog 💛
Helping him or her get to be the very best pup they can be happens by being the very best pet parent you can be!
As you can see from the picture, Maverick & his family have a very strong and happy bond… They’ve helped him understand his world, get over his fears and feel like a confident boy in a secure environment. They have excelled in creating not only problem-solving skills but also the most healthy of relationships…
Their smiles tell it all !

RUBY 🩷 L O V E S 🩷 PLAYCARE!
She arrives first thing in the morning to start her day of fun! She loves all of her activities, especially playing on the agility equipment and getting “doted-on” during her snuggle-n-snack time! By the time her mom picks her up in the evening, she is one tired pup!

This was Tuesday evening on the farm.
All was calm. All was (incredibly) bright!
💙🩵🤍💛🧡
We’re so honored to care for your fuzzy babies at our Resort!
Floors and air are heated, pups are toasty warm and they are getting loads of snuggle time in place of their outdoor walk in these temps.
Pictures of those snuggles to come!

Hey Tall Tails folks!
This kitty is currently with me as a foster… His mom died 😞 and he found himself (along with some other kitty housemates) alone in the house yet being cared for by a kind soul who visited often… 
I agreed to keep him here with me until we could find a loving home for him.
His name is Smokey, he’s 9 years old (but spunky as a 2 year old!) up to date on shots and neutered.
He’s verrrry affectionate! He loves to “figure 8” in and out and around my legs, loves to eat, and talks and purrs like crazy! He’d be a superb companion for some lucky human 🩶🌟🩶
To inquire about him and meet him, call the Tall Tails office at 610-760-2411 and ask for Robyn!
