Puppies and a Movie!

Ever wanted to cuddle with a puppy while watching a movie? Now's your chance!
It's Christmas in July and we have some puppies who are ready to celebrate! We'll be showing a holiday movie and hosting a movie night with at least 6 hound-mix puppies as they prepare to get ready for adoption.

Pet Boarding: How, where, and what to look for

It's 10am, do you know where your dog is?
Well, we assume you do, but if your pup is at a boarding facility...how did you choose it? Are there standards with which boarding facilities must comply? (Hint: the answer is a shocking no!) Who is looking after your best friend when you can't?

We know that your furry companions mean the world to you, so we want to help you find just the right place for them. That's why we've invited Jess Ward, Operations Manager and Behaviorist at The Board Hound, to join us on Tuesday, July 31 at 6:30 PM to tell us what to look for in a doggy daycare or boarding facility, what questions to ask, and what should make you run for the door!
