🌱 Houseplant Appreciation Day at The Crate Escape! 🌸🐾

Today, we celebrated Houseplant Appreciation Day with our furry friends in the most creative and engaging ways! 🐕✨

🎨 Paw Print Art: We made adorable paw print art inspired by violets, a dog-safe plant. Not only was this a fun keepsake for our daycare families, but it also helped our pups practice calm behavior while getting their paws painted and cleaned.

📸 Flower Power Photoshoot: The dogs posed with beautiful flower filters, capturing their sweet personalities and giving everyone some social media-worthy moments!

🏃‍♂️ Outdoor and Indoor Play: We balanced the day with plenty of active play, indoors and out, to ensure our pups burned off energy, socialized, and stayed happy.

---

Why are these activities great for dogs?
🌟 Paw Print Art: Encourages patience, helps with desensitizing to touch, and provides enrichment through new sensations.
🌟 Photoshoot Fun: Builds confidence by exposing dogs to new experiences and promotes trust with handlers.
🌟 Playtime: Supports physical health, strengthens social bonds, and provides mental stimulation.

We love combining creativity and enrichment to make each day special at The Crate Escape. 💚 What's your favorite way to include your furry friend in creative activities? Let us know in the comments! 🐶❤️

✂️ Ziggy and Bowie both look sharp with their fresh schnauzer cuts. Double the style, double the smiles!

🛁 Remy enjoyed a full grooming session and is looking absolutely fabulous.

🐾 Cici also received a full grooming makeover and is ready to strut her stuff.

🧼 Ziva got a spa day with a bath, ear cleaning, and nail trim – the ultimate refresh!

🐾🦆 Welcome Darla & Velda to The Crate Escape Family! 🦆🐾

Today, we were thrilled to welcome Darla and Velda to daycare! Both girls passed their temperament evaluations with flying colors and made fast friends with everyone.

🎉 To celebrate National Bubble Bath Day, we had an adorable, bubbly blast:
🛁 Some pups dressed up in yellow rubber ducky bath towels and even sported rubber ducky shower caps!
🫧 We played with bacon and peanut butter-scented bubbles – a favorite for both sniffing and chasing!
🌳 And of course, we enjoyed some outdoor zoomies in the fresh air.

💡 Why we love these activities:
✅ Sensory play (like scented bubbles) engages dogs’ natural curiosity and reduces stress.
✅ Dress-up builds confidence and trust through positive reinforcement.
✅ Outdoor play encourages exercise, socialization, and happy, tired pups at the end of the day!

We’re so excited to have Darla and Velda as part of our pack and can’t wait for more fun days ahead! 🐕💛

✨ Crisis Comfort Update ✨

It’s been a busy season here at The Crate Escape Crisis Comfort! Over the holidays, we opened our hearts and space to 5 dogs in need, and we’re thrilled to share that 2 have already been reunited with their loving owners. 🐾❤️

Currently, we have 5 cats still in our care who haven’t been able to return home just yet. Each one is safe, warm, and receiving lots of love while they wait for brighter days ahead. 🐱💛

This program exists because of the incredible support from our community. Whether it’s through donations, spreading awareness, or simply cheering us on, your kindness helps us continue providing care for pets during their owners’ most challenging times.

If you’d like to contribute, we are always in need of pet food, cat litter, and other pet care essentials. Every little bit makes a big difference!

Thank you for being part of our mission to keep families together, no matter the circumstances. Together, we’re creating hope—one paw at a time.

🐾✨ Festival of Sleep Day at The Crate Escape! 🛌❄️

Today, our daycare dogs embraced the Festival of Sleep Day—a cozy and comforting way to ease into the new year after all the holiday excitement. 🥱💤

We focused on practicing our “down” and “lay” commands both individually and as a group, creating moments of calm and relaxation. 🐕‍🦺🐾 But don’t worry—it wasn’t all naps and snuggles! We also had plenty of fun playing in the snow, burning off that winter energy. ❄️🐶

Every tail wag and happy face reminded us that a balanced day of play and rest is the perfect way to start the year.

📸 Stay tuned for adorable photos of our sleepy (and snowy) crew today! 💛
