Is Good Dog Right For Your Dog? 

It is very important that you understand the risk of boarding an animal with other animals in a kennel free and new environment. There is an inherent risk of disease transmission, accident, escape or injury to your animal(s). Even in the most controlled and well-supervised circumstances, there may be incidents and unpredictable behavior that could result in injury, illness or escape. Animals often respond differently and unpredictably to a different venue of people, animals, sounds, situations and environments. After considering these factors, you may decide that the risk associated with placing your animal(s) in a group setting with other animals is outweighed by the benefits of socialization, exercise, attention and stimulation derived by your animal(s).

For the safety of our guests, we do not accept reactive animals, food aggressive animals, barrier aggressive animals, resource guarding animals, animals that are prone to running away or escaping, animals that charge doors or gates, animals that bolt, animals that climb over or burrow under fences, and animals with separation anxiety.

D.O.G.s (Directors of Greetings)

Adam

Mixed, Ridgeback Male, 55 lbs, 11 yrs

Adam (AKA Redbone) was dumped on a busy highway then hit by a car. He was extremely emaciated, missing most of his fur, covered in ticks and fleas and had mange. He was so hungry he was found eating a piece of paper. His back hip was broken. He received surgery, was fully vetted, and is now healthy but handicapped. Adam is extremely intelligent, very playful and well behaved. He is fully housebroken, leash trained, rides well in cars and behaves well in public. Adams loves people, children, other dogs, cats and other animals. He is a very special, affectionate, playful dog with above average intelligence. Adam loves small dogs.

Tuffy

Chihuahua, Dachshund Male, 14 lbs, 18 yrs

Tuffy is a lovable, male, Chihuahua mix. He was rescued from a horrific hoarding situation where he and dozens of other animals lived in deplorable conditions. A strong-minded little guy, Tuffy wasn’t happy in a kennel and was sent to us for rehabilitation. After working with him, Tuffy learned to trust his caregivers and quickly became a devoted lap dog. He is exceptionally intelligent, incredibly devoted and will follow you everywhere. He is deaf, but has been taught to understand sign language gestures and also reads lips. Tuffy is happiest when being pet. He does well with other animals, but can be a little jealous. He wants to be in charge.

Johny

Beagle, Coonhound Male, 50 lbs, 9 yrs

Johny was abandoned on the side of a highway as a puppy. He continues to act like a puppy with a fun personality. He has a great sense of humor and enjoys being silly. He likes to play with dogs and humans. He also loves playing fetch and hiking. Johny is very devoted and follows you everywhere. He is extremely intelligent, very playful and well behaved. He is fully housebroken, leash trained, rides well in cars and behaves well in public. He loves people, children, other dogs, and other animals. While we usually only adopt special needs animals, Johny and Adam bonded and we didn't have the heart to separate them. Johny loves small dogs.
