Shelters are a difficult place to be for dogs. They are expected to quickly adjust to this sudden and dramatic change in their circumstances. They might be used to living in a home with a family. Suddenly, they have to sleep in a kennel alone, in a building full of other dogs. They’re in an unfamiliar environment with complete strangers. Because of this, they are often unsure and very anxious.

We try to make every dog (and cat) feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We all do our best to make every animal happy while they’re here, but shelters are still a super stressful environment.

The stress, combined with a constant flow of new animals and people, increase a dog's (or cat's) risk of contracting and spreading illness/disease every day.

A dog's daily play yard time and enrichment activity just aren't enough, they also need a space to explore, relax and just be dogs.
