- Kim K.
"I couldn’t ask for a more loving and caring place to trust my fur baby with. Their parties are amazing, and their birthday party for the babies are amazing too! I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my furbaby with them knowing she is in safe and loving hands. Thank you all for everything you do! It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!"
- Samantha G.
"The staff is great!!!What stood out to me most...was that they thought about the safety of my dog 1st. Thinking ahead, an employee took my dog into a safe kennel. Only because a larger dog was coming out , and wanted every animal comfortable.  Only after did she explain to the " human" , WHY. That told me everything I needed to know! MY DOG IS SAFE HERE."
- Rae L.
"From the first time I walked through the doors I have been impressed by the open and welcoming atmosphere. I have an older dog and they have been very good about adopting to his needs. The staff is friendly and caring. I look forward to leaving my power in their care knowing he will be treated with love."
