You have questions, we have answers. Read below to see the most commonly asked questions. If you don't see your question listed below, please contact us.
Do you accept intact females, females in heat, or intact males
We do accept intact females who are not in heat or near their heat cycle. Behavior and temperament can change significantly for a female dog going into or in her heat cycle. That may include increased aggression or restlessness, which could disrupt a boarding facility's harmony.
Due to these factors, we do not accept females for boarding or dayboarding during their heat cycles.
We do accept intact males as long as no aggression is shown.
