Shoutout to our farrier Sheeder for National Farrier Week! 👣🐴

Clayton doesn’t just take care of our horses’ feet—he helps keep our lesson horses sound, happy, and ready to do their jobs. From the young ones to the seniors, he’s patient, dependable, and always willing to help.

We’re extra lucky, because he’s not only great at what he does—he’s also a good friend. Thanks for everything you do, Clayton!

Horse people, you get it... 😂🐴

I love when folks call and tell me all the special things their horse needs—“Only this feed,” “Needs supplements,” “Can’t be turned out with others,” “Must be blanketed if it’s under 60°,” “Needs meds twice a day,” “Special hay only,” etc...

But then... they hear the price and want to negotiate. 😅

I promise I’m not charging for fun—I’m charging for the time, care, experience, and consistency your horse deserves.

Caring for horses isn’t cheap, and when you want quality, it comes with a cost. I care deeply about what I do and about the animals in my care—and I price accordingly. ❤️

Thanks to the amazing clients who get it and respect the value of the care their horses receive. You’re the real MVPs. 🐴👏

Do you remember Lillie?
She’s the sweet Blue Heeler we fostered last year.

Lillie first came into the vet clinic where I worked in February 2024. She was scheduled to be euthanized due to behavioral concerns, but the owner chose to surrender her to me instead. They even paid for her vaccinations rather than the euthanasia.

I brought her home, enrolled her in my training program, and had her spayed. After a few months of rehab, she was adopted by a wonderful family who truly loved her. Unfortunately, due to life changes, they are no longer able to keep her—so we welcomed her back.

Lillie is once again looking for her forever home.
She is an absolute sweetheart and has settled in beautifully with our busy household.

✅ Kennel trained
✅ Housebroken
✅ Decent recall
✅ Knows sit and down
✅ Has been around multiple dogs (indoor and outdoor), cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, and small children

We currently have four indoor dogs, an indoor cat, three large outdoor dogs, and are also pet-sitting two dogs this week. Lillie fit right in without a hitch.

She will be brought up to date on vaccinations before being placed.

If you're interested or want more information, please message me directly.

Let’s find this amazing girl the home she truly deserves ❤️

Help Bring Pinoak Acres Pet Retreat to Life! 🐶

Creating a Safe, Fun, and Loving Place for Dogs in Walnut, Iowa

Hi, I'm Josie Henry. With the support of my husband Jacob, I’ve been growing our family farm—Pinoak Acres—into something truly special. Now, we’re expanding our passion for animals by building Pinoak Acres Pet Retreat, a doggie daycare and boarding facility where your pets will feel like family.

We already offer in-home pet sitting and dog training, but demand has grown beyond what our current setup can handle. That’s why we’re asking for your help!

🛠️ What the Funds Will Support:

Climate-controlled indoor kennels for overnight stays

Outdoor play yards with secure fencing

Training and enrichment areas for doggie activities

A bathing and light grooming station

A warm, home-away-from-home environment designed with safety and comfort in mind

❤️ Why Support Us?

We are true animal lovers who want to provide a safe, enriching environment for every critter in our care—and a unique, personalized service for local families. This isn’t just a business—it's a labor of love.

With my background as a veterinary technician, I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care and behavior to this next chapter. At Pinoak Acres Pet Retreat, your dogs will be in capable, compassionate hands.

Supporting this project means supporting:

Local, family-owned small business

High-quality, heart-led pet care

A new, much-needed resource for Southwest Iowa

🎁 How You Can Help:

Donate any amount—every dollar brings us one step closer!

Let’s build a retreat that pets (and their people) can trust.

Meet Cooper and Lucy! 🐶🐾 They’ve been staying with us for the week and settled right in like family.

Cooper is diabetic and receives insulin twice a day. He can be a picky eater, but with a little creativity (he loves The Farmer’s Dog mixed into his kibble), he’s been doing great!

We provide personalized care and only take one family at a time to ensure your pets get the love and attention they deserve.

Prefer we come to you? We also offer pet sitting in your home for pets who are more comfortable in their own space.

Something exciting is in the works out here at Pinoak Acres Pet Retreat — stay tuned! 🐾✨
