Pondview Paws Retreat Welcome to Pondview Paws — a fully fenced, private dog park with a 2-acre backyard designed for off-leash fun and relaxation.

This was our dog’s favorite place in the world — now it’s ready for your pup to make their own happy memories!

🐾 It’s time to give back. ❤️

When we dreamed up Pondview Paws Retreat, we knew we wanted it to be about more than creating a place for dogs to run, swim and play. We wanted it to make a difference for dogs throughout our community.

That’s why we committed to donating 10% of our topline revenue to local organizations helping dogs in need.

And the best part? You got to choose where your visit made an impact.

Even though our 2026 season ended earlier than we hoped, your support still made a difference. This October, we’ll be announcing the donations to each organization and sharing the impact you helped create.

From dogs who need a safe place to land, to those waiting for medical care, transportation, foster care or their forever family, these organizations are doing incredible work.

Chloe started her life being ditched in a diaper box. She went on to have a life filled with love, adventure and a family who adored her.

Every dog deserves that chance.

Thank you for helping Pondview Paws make a difference beyond our fence. 🐾❤️

Stay tuned as we share where your support is going!

🌳 Another dead tree down at Pondview Paws Retreat! 🐾

Since we’re closing a little earlier than usual this year, we’re taking advantage of the extra time to keep working behind the scenes and make this park even better for your pups! 🐶❤️

This one was a tough one—it was hanging over the fence line and tangled up in invasive vines growing on the other side of the fence. Definitely not a DIY job! 😅

We’re so grateful for large equipment and a helping hand to safely get this one down! 💪🚜

We’ll keep chipping away at projects throughout our time off so that when the gates open again, Pondview Paws is better than ever. 🌿🐾

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day! We hope you’re enjoying the day and getting some extra time outside with your pups! ❤️

🐾 One year of Pondview Paws! 🐾

We may be closed for the season, but we’re still celebrating an incredible first year! 💚

So many happy pups, muddy paws, zoomies, memories, and amazing people who helped make this little dream a reality.

Thank you for an unforgettable year one. 🐶✨

And trust us… we’re just getting started. 👀🐾

💙 One year of Pondview Paws. One year of zoomies, muddy paws, happy pups, and so many amazing people who have supported our little backyard dream.

Unfortunately, our one-year anniversary comes with an announcement we never expected to make. We noticed algae growth in our pond and had it tested at the State Hygienic Lab. The results confirmed blue-green algae.

Because of the potential risk to dogs, we’ve made the decision to temporarily close Pondview Paws for the season.

This isn’t how we pictured celebrating one year, but we’re choosing to make lemonade out of the lemons we’ve been handed. 🍋

We’ll be using this time to continue improving the park and making upgrades so that when we reopen, there will be even more for you and your pups to enjoy. 🐾

Thank you for trusting us with your dogs, supporting our small business, sharing our posts, leaving reviews, and making this first year so incredibly special.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s see you next season. 💙

Keep following along—we have lots more to share. 👀🐶
