Woofers Pet Resort Rapid City - Black Hawk

URGENT NEED for the wonderful Hayford family who runs Brunchies restaurant in Black Hawk. This is a moment for us to all step up and help our neighbors!

A dryer started a fire in the Hayford's house. Thank God all the family and pets made it out okay, but their house in uninhabitable while they work to determine the damage and make repairs. They have nothing and are having to stay in a hotel for quite a while, so while others are trying to attend to needs such as clothing, we are starting a fund so they have money to spend on immediate, specific needs such as motel costs, etc.

We have seeded this fund and call on all our neighbors, individuals and businesses, to contribute. We will make sure the Hayfords get every penny.

Contact us in a p.m., email us as [email protected], or call us at (605) 416-2955, and we'll tell you how and where you can donate.

This incredible cat needs a great home. We can't find his owners, and he, getting thinner and thinner, began hanging out at Woofers looking for food and attention. He is wonderful. Loves EVERYONE and unfazed by most things. He is active and inquisitive but settles down in the evenings. Can be petted anywhere on his body. Unlike a lot of cats, he wants to be near his people and loves to be petted. Comes when we call him. In some ways he seems more like a dog than a cat.

We enjoy his company, and he makes us laugh, and we'd keep him, but he can't live at Woofers because eventually some dog is going to eat him. Do you know anyone who would love and care for him?

Our crazy boy, Buffalo after leaping out of the pool. Do any of you have photos you can post here of your dog(s) with a funny expression? 😂😂

Rocco, who since a puppy we've called, "Curly," is a talented breakdancer. He breaks into a dance every time he jumps out of the pool.

Housing is so expensive and hard to find!

Do you know a reliable and honest someone who would like to trade approximately 15 hours of work per week (evenings and early mornings) in return for a FREE studio apartment with a bathroom and full kitchen and including ALL utilities? Includes internet, washer/dryer.

The work involves pottying and feeding our doggy guests early mornings and pottying them at night. Also, caring for between 1-3 dogs stay in the apartment some nights. The duties allow a person's daytime hours to be completely free for work, study, or play.

Interested persons may email us at [email protected]. (Because we do not monitor Facebook we cannot respond to FB messages.)

Thanks!

Anyone know who owns this cat? One of the nicest, coolest cats we've ever met. It comes to visit us once or twice a day (we're on Black Hawk Rd. next to BJ's in Black Hawk), and someone said it may have a home, but it is getting skinnier and skinnier. We've started giving it a little food and would like to help it find its way home.

The "place" command is similar to but different from "stay." You'd use it when you want your dog to go to this place or that, whether a regular place or somewhere new, and stay there until released. This command can come in very handy. Here is Gordie learning "place." It helps that he is already trained to the commands "come" and "okay," the latter of which is his cue that he has been released.

Where else would you find the retrievers on a hot day? Becha they'll soon start ordering drinks with umbrellas in them. Geez!

Anyone think we should open a doggie tiki bar? 😄

Plea for Support:

Our effort to support the BHFCU Raise for Rescues drive is failing. To date, only one person has brought in any supplies. Our local shelters and rescues desperately need supplies, especially food, hard toys, and treats. If you have an extra bags or cans or hard toys or can buy some extra, please, please drop them off at either Woofers Pet Resort location. Money is also helpful. There is an account at BHFCU from which 100% of the funds will be given to our local shelters and rescues.

We have only six days remaining. Please Woofers people (and all other animal lovers), come through for us!

UPDATE 6/5/25 Woofers Nation is beginning to come through by donating food and toys. Thank you so much! We are far behind, though, and have a long way to go. Keep those donations coming, please!

Announcement: Woofers is now offering full-service grooming including original, one-of-a-kind styles. Here is Kree modeling the "Flashdance," a style which features a shaved belly and face and long hair on the legs, back, and hair brushed back in a natural, windblown style. This style is a throwback nod to the 80s, billowy locks, and leg warmers. We offer many other traditional and original styles. Mention this post for an introductory 75% discount.

Update: 4/2/25 April Fools'! We have always bathed dogs, deep-cleaned their ears, and trimmed nails, but we are not a full-service groomer. Kree is a Chinese Crested dog. They look like this, without the need for grooming. 😂

Oh lord, looks like everyone working here has a cowboy 'stache.

Maybe we should rename this facility. Any ideas?
