Are you looking for a safe, fun, and stimulating boarding solution?

Ever return home from work to your puppy’s idea of remodeling your home; pulled up carpeting, destroyed furniture, teeth marks on coffee tables, chewed personal belongings. Maybe you thought you solved your dog’s destructive tendencies by putting them outside; now he has begun “landscaping” digging holes and uprooting plants, and barking or howling throughout the day. These are symptoms of boredom, anxiety, loneliness, lack of exercise, need for socialization. We would all love to stay home with our dogs! Unfortunately, that option is unrealistic. Let Canine Obedience by Claire Silver solve many of the above issues with the help of our specialized boarding. (With or Without Training)

Mission Poem

My family brought me home cradled in their arms.
They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm.
They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys.
I sure do love my family, especially the little girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me; they gave me special treats.
They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in the sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
They even fought to hold the leash, I'm very proud to say.

These are the things I'll not forget - a cherished memory.
I now live in the shelter - without my family.
They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.
But I didn't know the difference between the old one and the new.

The kids and I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug.
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bedroom rug.
They said that I was out of control and would have to live outside.
This I didn't understand, although I tried and tried.

The walks stopped, one by one; they said they hadn't time.
I wish that I could change things; I wish I knew my crime.
My life became so lonely in the backyard, on a chain.
I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.

So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why.
They said I caused an allergy, and then they each kissed me goodbye.
If I'd only had some training as a little pup.
I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.

"You only have one day left",
I heard the worker say.
Does that mean I have a second chance?
Do I go home today?
Sally Thompson
