βοΈ The warm weather is finally starting to arrive, and our dogs are loving it! Longer days, more sunshine, and plenty of time to play outside. Everyone is getting lots of water and indoor breaks as the day goes on. Making sure each dog is enjoying their stay safe and happy is our main priority. We are having a blast here at Ruff Dayz and are looking forward to an amazing spring and summer with our pups! πΆ

Hi Everyone!
We've had multiple clients reaching out to us concerned about a loose Bernedoodle (mostly black with white and light tan) that has been near Ruff Dayz recently. He is not one of our clients dogs! We are aware of the situation and have had the police discuss with the owners. He belongs to one of our neighbors and is decently hard to catch as he is flighty towards people.
Please be aware when you are dropping off or picking up your pup from us as he has bolted across the road into traffic. If you notice him out and it doesn't look like anybody is searching for him, please let us know!
You can share to spread the word, thank you! π

One of our beloved kiddos is needing to be rehomed and we are wanting to be the middle ground between a potential adopter and his current owners.
We have listed some of his quirks/behaviors that we've learned over the years taking care of him. If you know anyone who can handle a husky (experience in owning higher energy/flight risk breeds preferred), please have them email us at [email protected]!
We truly would love for him to stay in the surrounding areas if possible so we can continue servicing new owners with boarding, grooming and daycare since he knows and loves us. But our main objective is to find new owners who will love him for who he is! π€π₯Ή
βοΈπ€ Our Overnight Position is now available! π€βοΈ
Please share to anyone you may know and you contact us at [email protected] for any questions!

Our names are Tim and Lacy Belangee and we are the owners of Ruff Dayz doggie daycare and boarding. We first wanted to open up a business in dog daycare and boarding when we took our three dogs to a daycare in Savoy Illinois. We both worked long hours in the medical field so it was convenient for us to drop our fur babies off at a dog daycare. We saw how excited they were every time we dropped them off and they wouldnβt want to leave and come home with us. Our daughtersβ dog, βgreyβ was always hyper, running around the house, and very excited, and she behaviorally changed with daycare. When we started taking her, she played with the other dogs and would come home tired, calm and be settled down. We got her and one of our other dogs certified as a good canine good citizen from the American Kennel Club. Everything just rolled from there. We always dreamed to live in Mahomet and wanted to open a business ourselves, and this is the first step.
Our Doggie Daycare is a supervised fun environment for dogs to interact both in and outdoors. There is a room each for different temperamental and different size dogs to play. We provide social interaction, interactive play, musical stimulation, and one hour of quiet/rest time. We are outside constantly, so dogs get a chance to be indoors and outdoors all day long. We are certified by the state as a kennel but we operate as a luxurious daycare.
We call boarding, sleepovers, because thatβs what it is. Your dog cuddled up next to us or other dogs in cots or blankets. Sometimes they even snuggle with us on the pull-out couch. We try to make it as homey and comfortable as possible. The only time we put the pups in kennels is feeding time, if a dog needs an enrichment toy or a possible time out from playing too hard. If the owner prefers their dog to be kenneled that can be arranged. We have on site staff 24/7 and will make sure someone is with your dog 24/7. Safety is our number one concern.
