What to Expect on Your First Visit
Tours & Your Dog’s First Visit
To maintain a calm, low-stress environment for all dogs in our care, tours and first visits are available by appointment only. We do not offer walk-in tours.
Scheduled tours allow us to give you our full attention, answer your questions, and ensure visits do not disrupt the dogs currently staying with us.
First visits follow the same appointment-based process
Tours are scheduled in advance
Check-in and drop-off times are carefully managed to support a calm transition
Why No Walk-Ins?
Limiting foot traffic helps us maintain a low-stress environment — especially important for nervous or senior dogs.
