All Inclusive Canine Hotel Resort & Doggy Day Care No one ever refuses a meal at DD! Separation anxiety? No problem!
(240)

Desperate Dogs is a luxury dog boarding hotel, canine adventure daycamp and a place where troubled dogs come to shake off some of the world's stresses....
Run by experienced canine behavior counsellor Penny Miller, her husband Peter and Ranch Manager Kristen Snyder, the dogs have the most incredible off leash experience to be had anywhere in the state of Georgia! There are 8.5 gorgeous acres of se

curely fenced meadows, woodlands, streams, a natural swim hole, a swimming pool, a huge covered barn for wet weather indoor/outdoor play.....the fun just never stops! For resting and sleep time, the Desperate Dogs Ranch experience is unlike anywhere else your dog has ever stayed. There are couches everywhere, carpeted rooms and soft, plush dog beds for your precious baby to sink into, enjoying the deepest of sleeps. Mealtimes are a major gastronomic event with fresh succulent meats and vegetables cooked daily and to each dogs' unique requirements by our 'doggy chefs' for our eager guests. DD is the perfect choice if your dog is thunder phobic; not only are our staff incredibly skilled with thunder phobia cases and have years of handling experience, the construction of the house, in sturdy 1960's block and brick with a buried basement, means that we have the perfect noise-muffling environment for the most thunder phobic dog. Our unique phased-integration and relationship-building protocols mean your dog will feel at home, comfortable and part of a new family in no time. Our whole ethos is to let a dog be a dog.....to explore, to breathe, to move freely and to exercise all of the natural drives that dogs have. This, coupled with all of the touches of home, create an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort that bring about a state of mind where learning can take place, social skills can be learned and stresses can be cast off. Dogs always return home calmer, happier and more able to cope with life at home....and they often sleep for three days straight! We use no shock collars, pinch collars, choke chains or any other torture techniques; we do not engage with clients who use such devices unless they throw them in our trash.....all of our work is relationship based, kind and gentle. Think of us as kindly aunts and uncles who love your dog as much as you do, and who will go to untold lengths to achieve his or her happiness. Pooch Paradise exists.......and its right here in Winder, Georgia.

Relaxing after walks this afternoon in the cool AC on leather couches, cushy dog beds and everyone calmly laying about. There’s 7 dogs in this picture can you spot them all?

What an incredibly special birthday guest we have at the DD Ranch today! Beau is SIXTEEN YEARS OLD! He deserves every bit of his McDonald’s party. Beau has been a DD dog since long before he was ever a senior boy and we’re so lucky and in love to have this precious boy with us on his special day! Happy birthday Beau!

Samantha. Please be more clear if dinner service was satisfying. We can’t tell by your belly up, relaxed state if you’re happy.

Homer was letting us know it’s Saturday and he’d like to stay in his teeny tiny bed (that’s his chihuahua brother Zeus’) and sleep in. The weekend is for relaxing!

We are hosting a low-cost pet vaccine clinic on Sunday, August 16 from 2-4 PM at Barrow County Animal Control in Winder. We will also offer microchipping for dogs and cats. All dogs and cats at least six weeks of age are welcome; Barrow county residency is not required. Payment must be made in cash. PLEASE NOTE — if your pet cannot maintain decorum in line around other people and pets and be easily handled by our veterinary staff, we will unfortunately be unable to serve you.

This is an indoor event so don’t let the threat of rain prevent you from coming.

All proceeds benefit our SOHF rescues. Please help us spread the word by sharing this post or tagging a friend in the comments below.

Luke has such a crush on big, beautiful Bug he goes belly up to entice her over and even tinkles a little he’s so excited to be near to her. There’s nothing like your summer camp sweetheart 🥰

We LOVE when the little dogs are the first ones to jump into the muck and get filthy 😂 Little Mishka is quite proud of himself!
