Client pet of the week!

Addison was born in 2015 and we adopted her while we were living in Chicago. She is very social especially for a Husky and became well known around parts of Chicago.

She loves being a big sister to our daughter Sloane and the two are besties! Addie had the biggest impact on our lives since day one. She forced us to be more active in our daily lives (keeping up with the energy level of a Husky is not an easy task). And my wife Amanda said it best that if you want to have kids, adopt a dog first.

And one thing that always stood out is ever since we brought her home almost 11 years ago she still to this day has people stopping their cars to pull over and say what a beautiful dog we have.

Staff pet of the week!

My name is Smitty the pitty aka smittens. I live with Shannon, one of our receptionists. I was found by the Detroit police at 3 months old with a shattered leg that was removed. My foster brother called me yardstick because I only had 3 feet. Now I live with my fur siblings and get daily massages to keep me going.

Client pet of the week!

Meet Phoebe Gene! She is 9 years old, and was adopted in 2019 at the age of 2. She was left in a home, alone, when her owners moved out. Phoebe now lives the life of luxury in Gibraltar. She likes daily walks, snacks, belly rubs, cozy sweaters, digging at blankets, visits from mom's friends, and she absolutely loves her grandma. She does not like rain, snow, sudden noises, or the vacuum cleaner. Phoebe's mom works hard to maintain Phoebe's luxurious lifestyle, and ensure that the heat stays on and the treats keep coming. Phoebe recently enjoyed her first road trip to Texas, and was an absolute rock star. Phoebe's mom thinks she is absolutely the most perfect dog there could ever be!

Client pet of the week!

Buddy is a tiny ball of chaos and love wrapped into one. He is a Chi-Russell and is equal parts goofy entertainer and fierce little protector. He will bark like he runs the house, then turn around and melt into the biggest baby you’ve ever seen. Whether he’s going in on a squeaky toy, guarding his favorite chew bone like treasure, or walking around with a tennis ball in his mouth because he refused to play fetch, Buddy brings nonstop energy and personality. And when the day winds down? You’ll find him on his back, tongue peeking out, completely knocked out like he pays bills. Spoiled, silly, and full of heart. Buddy isn’t just a dog, he’s the whole vibe. 🐾

Client pet of the week!

Nuggett is a high-energy, lovable ruler who brings chaos and charm to his kingdom. From dramatic staring contests to spontaneous wrestling matches, life with him is never quiet. He treasures his mom, his sister Nina, and all things snack-related. Assisting him in his royal duties is Eli, his faithful servant, who works tirelessly to keep His Majesty happy. By his side is his loyal companion, Dennis, always ready to join in the fun (or the mischief). While some may call him Nuggey or Boom Boom, he answers best to Sir Nuggett.

Client pet of the week!

Meatball was born in 2020 and joined the Martinez family that year. He loves riding in the car, running through the yard chasing squirrels, and napping. He loves being with his family and hanging out with his "uncle" when his family is going to be away. Milkbones are his favorite treat and his favorite toy is his squeaky Tigers baseball bat!
