About Us


FACT
Over the past 25 years, I have lost countless beloved customers to cancers that were preventable if only their owners had had them altered. 

FACT
Each year, 9 million dogs are euthanized in shelters across the United states through no fault of their own.  There simply are no homes that will take them. 


OUR PHILOSOPHY  
Until there are enough homes for all the unwanted animals in shelters and until it is truly an honor to own any dog or cat, we will not promote their breeding. We therefore neither board nor groom any pets over the age of eight months unless they have been spayed or neutered. 

If your pet is truly a member of your family--one that you want around for as long as possible--one that you want to remain healthy for as long as possible--have him or her spayed or neutered.
