Description

Welcome to our haven!! I hope you enjoy this space as much as we do! We’re happy to share our space with other dogs and their humans. We have plans to add a few upgrades like a dog washing station and some play structures/agility equipment in due time! But for now there’s a nice sized fenced in yard to play, kiddie pool, dog toys, camp chairs for the humans, a deck, and quiet very low traffic dirt road to walk. I like to change the space up every now and then. Any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas please let me know! I’d love to improve and add things you’d love to see. Thank you and hope you enjoy yourselves

Additional rules

A few rules to follow: 1. Please keep all dogs on a lease if they are not in the fenced In yard. I do have a peacock that roams around sometimes and want to make sure he stays safe. He normally hangs out by my wood shed, on our front porch or on our chimney. He’s friendly but keeps his distance from humans and canines. 2. Please pick up after yourself and your dog(s). We have trash bins, dog bags, and a pitch fork available. All toys used need to go back in their bins for the next person to enjoy the space. 3. Please be respectful. Any damage please let me know so it can be fixed. Any comments, concerns, or ideas I’m happy to answer or entertain. 4. Enjoy your time here and have fun!! We hope you enjoy our little haven as much as we do.
