Hello, Cottages friends!

We are helping Saturn find her perfect home. Could it be with you or someone you know?

Saturn is an 11-month-old Basenji. She is spayed, healthy, and weighs about 20 lbs. She’s clever, alert, and athletic. While she’s a bit shy and takes a little time to warm up to strangers, she’s incredibly fun to be with once you bond with her.

Like many Basenjis, she can be stubborn and might get into trouble if left to her own devices. Saturn is a sweetheart, and we know she’ll make a wonderful, fun companion for the right person.

If you’re interested in adopting Saturn, we’d love to tell you more about her! Please email us at [email protected] and share a little bit about yourself.

We are excited to share the progress on our expansion!

Calling all shepherd lovers! We know this pup here at The Cottages and can vouch that he’s wonderful. Meet Yagi,
the charming black shepherd with a heart of gold! This handsome boy weighs 80 pounds
and is as well behaved as they
come. Yagi is a quick learner,
mastering commands like sit, down, relax,
come, and more with ease. His friendly and affectionate nature makes him a favorite among people, and he’s especially great
with female dogs. Yagi loves outdoor adventures and would thrive in a home with plenty of space for him to run and play.
While he’s fantastic with everyone
he meets, Yagi prefers the
company of female dogs and has
not been as compatible with male
dogs. Despite this, Yagi’s loving
personality and eagerness to please make him an incredible companion for
the right family.
Give Yagi the forever home he deserves, filled with love, playtime, and fun adventures!

Happy New Year!

We have raised $12,405 of our $20,000 matching fundraiser so far! We have 5 days left to raise the remaining $7,595.

❤️ Please consider a new year’s donation to help raise our building so we can provide respite care for shelter and rescue dogs.

About us:
Conceptualized by the founders of The Cottages, The Adoption Cottage will bring adventure back into the lives of pups who are starting to give up on themselves. Our non-profit takes sheltered, fostered and neglected four legged friends and rehabilitates them with the gift of space, where a dog can truly be a dog. We promise to create a safe place where someone's next best friend can lose their inhibition, fear of abandonment and reimagine life as fun, happy, and full of wags. In other words, a place for dogs to recharge their love battery so they can one day share it with a worthy human.

Our Story

The Boarding, Adoption and Re-Homing Cottages is born out of a deep love for animals. As a child, I knew in my heart that my passion for animals would play an important role in my life. Over the years, from working on the business side of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, to running a behavioral health company that helped people regain their lives, I loved my work but had moved away from my deep passion for animals. Then I read the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine. After pondering how I would live my life differently if I only had one year to live, I found my way back to my original path, to help animals. This is my life passion. I returned to school to get my MBA in entrepreneurship to work through my ideas and then moved from the cement filled streets of Los Angeles to the beautiful greenery of Central Virginia. While here, I worked at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA for four years, where they taught me about animal care and the wonderful programs offered to help pets and their people in the area. I realized that this pet loving community is where I wanted to make my home and start my dream.

During a recent reorganizing effort, I came across a binder of school projects from elementary school. One of the assignments asks “what would you do if you had a million dollars?” My response was “buy a Fram and save all the animals.” I could not say it better as my adult self (although I like to think I would spell it better!) This little paper helped confirm that I am on the right path. And thus the Fram project, The Cottages, was born.

The Cottages is a luxury dog boarding and re-homing facility in a country setting just off 64 in Louisa, VA. The boarding facility provides a fun filled vacation for your pet! The property is made up of 6 cottages and lots of play yards. Throughout the day, our guests can choose to spend their time inside the heated and air conditioned luxury runs or enjoy the smells, sounds and sights from the attached outdoor, partially covered runs. All dogs enjoy time in our grassy play yards with friends, either human or canine & human, depending on the preference of our guest. We give each pet individualized care, lots of attention and love. In addition, 5% of all profits are donated to the future non-profit re-homing facility, the Adoption and Re-Homing Cottage (ARC) which is in the works. The non-profit will be located on site, but will be separate from the dog boarding facility. Rather than reinvent the wheel, ARC will assist local shelters and rescues by fostering, training and helping to re-home their dogs. So not only does your pet get the best care available and tons of love in our boarding facility, you also help homeless pets each time your dog boards with us.
