02/13/2026

we built this business with a simple goal:
Do good work. Treat dogs ethically. Serve our community well.
Today, we were voted #1 in our city for the Quality Business Awards — and that feels surreal.
If you’ve trusted us with your dog… referred a friend… shared a post… supported us through growing pains… this happened because of you.
We’re not the flashiest.
We’re not the cheapest.
But we care deeply about doing things the right way.
In a small community, reputation matters — and this recognition tells us we’re on the right track.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
We’re just getting started. 🐾

Stay safe everyone!

❄️🌬❄️ WIND CHILL ALERT!

☃️ Temps are going to continue to drop this week.
🥶 Wind chills through tomorrow are expected to minus 20 degrees in some areas.

❌️ DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG OUT ALONE! They can run to other homes trying to get out of the cold. Strangers will pick them up out of concern, not knowing they live at the house they may be in front of. Hopefully, they don't keep them but you don't know! 😟

❌️ DO NOT: walk long on freezing streets and salt or without a coat if they have short or smooth fur. 🦮 Huskies and shepherd fair much better but paws and noses can still get frostbite! 🥶

✔️ Let's all keep our pups home, safe, and warm! 🥰
