I know some of you have never boarded so I wanted to cover a few things that make it easier for everyone. Make your appointment as far in advance as you can. Be on time, have your current shot records with you, be sure to tell your kennel about any special needs, behavioral issues, medications. Bring meds in the prescription bottle with the Vet instructions on the label. Write your name on your things so you get them back. Food and treats in an airtight container. Chew toys are especially helpful to curb anxiety. Something from home that smells like home makes it easier to settle in their unfamiliar place. They look to you to see how they should feel about being left so big smiles and quick goodbyes. Never any tears. When you pick them up, youre excited to see them but give them a minute to adjust back to you. Dont be offended if it takes them a minute to return that excitement. Please dont ever no show any kennel or you may find there isnt available space for your dog the next time you call. If plans change, always share that information. If you need to be late, let someone know before youre late. If you have questions, never be aftaid to ask

Hi all! We are finally done with the front yard and couldnt be happier. Lots of work but done.

03/27/2022

Brrrrrrr what happened to Spring?! That cold wind is brutal. Lol. Busy week ahead with the puppies all going to their forever homes. I will miss them but the families are excited. The weeks with them have gone so quickly

03/10/2022

Hey all! Almost Spring and puppies in the house! Having so much fun with them. They are five weeks old and are black bis and blue merles. We will have them until March 30 th. Not all have been spoken for yet. They are ASDR mini aussies. Were hearing peepers in the woods and the first signs of Spring are all around us.

03/04/2022

Hard to believe the pups are already four weeks old!

03/02/2022

Hey all! Got a call from Shoreland animal hospital today confirming vaccinations for Teddy and Sophie Corley but dont see them on the books. If thats you please message me. Thx. Been crazy fun busy here lately soooo😂

Were extremely sad to announce the passing of our standard aussie Caliente aka Cali who left us this morning. She will be dearly missed

01/30/2022

Well its still winter with a significant amount of snow coming our way mid week. Our Rabbit will be having her pups in the coming week so were gonna have to give them some winter storm names. Were always excited about pups whether our own newborns or all of your pups. Stay warm and cozy, Spring will be here soon💕

01/25/2022

Is it Spring yet? Wont be long now. Were excited about all the possibilities. Finally getting snow makes everything pretty but moving it is always a chore. Hope everyone is hanging in there and avoiding Covid. ❤️

A new client called yesterday to say that Lone Oak kennel will close their doors January 6th. We wish them the best in future ventures. Not sure why. If you have heard this please let us know. Thanks

Good morning! Whats new with everyone? Pups have left for their forever homes. Time to focus on Christmas because we havent bought a single gift. 62 degrees right now but supposed to drop to 30 by the end of the day. So slow down, be present in the moment and Merry Christmas!💖

11/26/2021

Sure hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving yesterday. Busy time here but fun! Pups going to their forever homes, boarders coming and going and some family time. Happy Thanksgiving!

So summers coming to an end. Are you sad to see it go or looking forward to cooler weather? Our Fair just ended, we could use some more dogs booked in the kennel and we have pups due October 1st. Tell me what your summer was like and what your favorite part of Fall is❤️

08/08/2021

Yes! Were open! Covid newrly ended us but were stronger than that. So keep us open and book your dogs next stay❤️

08/01/2021

August! Can you believe it? Is it time for heartworm and flea and tick prevention? After that somewhat soggy July, fleas and ticks are gonna be worse than usual.

Good afternoon! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day. I wanted to take a minute to talk about rules. Every once in a while we should review them in an effort to be perfectly clear in our communication with you. We cover them when we do a walk thru and they are posted as well but a review cant hurt, right? We have only 5 here and they arent suggestions because if that were the case, we would not be able to spend as much time as we do with your dogs. Heres why each is important. 1. All dogs must come and go on a leash. The importance of this one is that for the safety of everyone, we want to meet your dog in a controlled environment the first time we meet. We also dont want to risk the chance that your dog may spot a rabbit or squirrel and take off. The last reason is that we want to respect our neighbors to the west. 2 All dogs must be current on vaccinations. This is to protect your dog. Our dogs are vaccinated and in the 16 years weve been open, we havent had a sick or injured dog aside from the occasional stress related stomach upset. We strive to keep it that way. 3. All food must be in an airtight container. We do this to continue to offer you a clean environment. 4. We are cash only. Once upon a time, we took checks and we spent way too much time on the phone with banks because of bounced checks. We would rather spend that time with your dogs. 5. We schedule drop offs and pick ups by appointment only. If you are more than half an hour late, we then call the next person on the waiting list and give them your run. Believe it or not, we have had people make other arrangements for their dogs and simply not notify us at all. This costs us time and money when we could have booked another dog in their place. We respect your time enough that we allow you to choose an appointment time and we work around it. We bend our schedule to meet your needs whenever possible. So please respect us by being prompt. We do realize that circumstances arise that may cause a slight delay and we appreciate a call letting us know. However when you are supposed to be here at 9 for example and you call at 9:15 to say you overslept and will be here by 10:00 then I hear nothing else from you and its now 10:30, I am going to call the next person and give them your run. I am paid to care for the dogs that are in my care and I owe it to them to keep on schedule just like I owe it to anyone who has an appointment after you. So please be on time. Were not in a position to do about this time but rather by appointment only. Thank you for your kindness and respect and business. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to give us a call. ❤️

Hows summer so far for everyone? Busy but good here. Bear is on the mend from his hip surgery, phones are starting to ring again after so many months Covid lockdown and the sun is shining, finally. What more could we ask for? A lot of new people are asking what vaccines are needed for your stay here. We try and stay on our side of the line between kennel and vet so the best answer we can give you is that your dogs shots need to be current. We will leave it to the vets to decide which vaccines are right for your dogs. We work with several different vets and each has their own protocol. For your dogs protection, we strongly suggest that Bordatella or kennel cough be one of them. We cant prevent a dog from becoming ill. They are like children in that they may become ill at anytime. What we can do is create an environment that is healthy and clean and happy. To do your part, see your vet regularly, keep your dog current on flea and tick treatment current and familiarize yourself with our policy should your dog become ill while in our care. Get outside and enjoy the rest of your summer!
