A Country Vacation Boarding Kennel

Blue can attest to this as his huge one takes up most of the room....at least seems to for his huge frame! Additionally, if I fall when getting up in the morning...well, its a win-win purchase.

ACV customers....here is the first grouping of Shih tzus rescued recently from the nearby Covington breeding operation of 100 dogs. My mother had a Shih tzu many, many decades ago that we learned was the only female in a litter of 4 whose brothers were quickly already American or Canadian champions. We adopted her from my Aunt & Uncle in Virginia and she (Yoko) was the first to be bought from that litter and to of all people, a young vibrant family that were the furthest thing from a show dog home. Well, quickly we learned so much about this breed, the royal dog of China's Forbidden City. Loyal to the death, barks only when there is something to actually bark about, loving beyond measure and beautiful when one allows their coat to grow to its correct length although "leaf sweeper" can take on a whole new meaning. So, back to this rescue of 100 and what it means to you and I.....yes, this is a sad situation. No telling what these dogs have experienced. But, I bet if you give one a chance, the time to settle in and unconditional love - any Shih tzu will return it tenfold. You will have one loyal, intelligent companion. Our Yoko lived to her middle teens. She had 3 beautiful litters. Never put up with any of our Afghans taunting her to a "catch me if you can". She was the Queen Empress of this farm. When I picture Mom with one of her dogs, its always Yoko. Devotion to the end. So, if you can use more of that in your life, trust me, you won't be disappointed. Check these dogs and the others of this situation out.

Hey ACV Customers....couple things as Christmas holiday approaches -
1st) We have had a few cancellations for the Christmas break.

2nd) A reminder that our Christmas hours are Christmas Eve - open AM only till 10:30am, closed all of Christmas Day and re-open Thursday Dec. 26th at 8AM going back to our usual hours.

3rd) For the New Years celebration, we are open New Years Eve, Tuesday, regular hours closing at 6pm and for New Years Day we are closed. Back to regular hours on Jan. 2nd.

4th) I posted a couple days ago re: a Bernese Mtn Dog (large black with white chest & rust highlights around face and legs) running loose along I-75north to then areas east of interstate between Rt. 55 and 25A. This dog is regrettably still on the loose, now in flight mode as she has been spotted by her owners in the Barnhart Rd area but ran in fear. The dog was seen yesterday (Saturday) near Dolphin Swim Club and maybe today near the roundabout on McKaig! Its obviously on the move. If you spot the dog do not try to make contact with it, instead immediately go to the FB Miami County Lost & Found Pet site and post it tagging the owner, a Chris Zink. Somewhere in all the posts on that site there are phone numbers to even call. There is also a running thread on the dog on the FB "Troy, Ohio Citizens" site. You will see a couple photos of the dog on there. Sad situation.

So let us know if you are looking for reservations this Holiday season - couple openings have now occurred.....and most importantly HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

ACV customers in the Troy area near Rt. 55 west....there is a female Bernese Mountain female dog running loose in the area. Specifically was just seen an hour ago near Speedway and Casey's. This dog is listed on the Miami County Lost and Found Pets FB site and got loose early yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon it was literally running up the northbound side of I-75 between 25A and 55 exits. Her owners have been out looking for her and she must be very cold, tired and spooked at this point. So if you live in that area or have friends in the area, could you please share this, call friends in the area and just keep your eyes peeled. She will be a larger black dog with red accents and a big white chest. Her name is "Nova".

For those of you that remember Sara, my amazing employee of several yrs, well she found this dog on S. Childrens Home Rd. before dawn Sunday standing along side the road between my E. State Rt. 41 and Knoop Rd. Its now safe and sound at the Miami County Shelter. But wanted to post this to see if a) anyone recognize this dog? or b) anyone need a new or additional buddy? If one of you, my current customers, adopts him.....I will charge only half price for his board thru all of 2025 or until my retirement...which ever occurs first! (yeah, yeah,,,,trying for that record Mega Million drawing tomorrow Ha!) Thanks!
