Dog Shelter
Our 900-square-foot dog shelter includes 15 indoor kennels and 10 separate outdoor kennels, along with access to our fully fenced two-acre property. Dogs enjoy multiple secure play yards, a pond for supervised swimming, agility equipment, a slatmill treadmill, structured playgroups, and plenty of space for exercise and enrichment. We also use controlled, safety-focused introductions to help evaluate how dogs respond to cats, livestock, children, and other dogs so we can better understand their needs and find the right home.
Cat Shelter
Our 500-square-foot cat shelter is a converted mobile home designed to give cats a calm, comfortable, home-like environment. It includes a dedicated isolation room, a bathroom, and a kitchen, while the remaining space features an open layout where cats can move freely, relax, climb, play, and socialize. The shelter also provides indoor and outdoor access to two secure catios, allowing the cats to safely enjoy fresh air and enrichment.
