Hi, I’m Wendy — a dog mom and the heart behind Branches & Barks. I created this private, peaceful acre so dogs and their humans can enjoy a wide open space to relax and play. Dogs can run, sniff, and be fully themselves, while their humans can unwind, watch, and simply enjoy the moment. I believe every dog deserves a moment of freedom and joy, and Branches & Barks was created to make that possible. All dogs are welcome — reactive, shy, or full of energy.
