We treat your small dog with love and care, from assistance with housebreaking your small-breed puppy to gentle senior care for our littlest friends. Experience the Little Paws difference!
Small dogs are special. We understand their lives and needs. There is a reason why thoughtfully planned dog parks include a special area for small dogs. Unfortunately, even in otherwise non-aggressive breeds, the relative size of our dogs can trigger “prey drive” and this makes boarding your small baby with larger dogs unsafe for them. We only allow small dogs under 30lbs in our home for Day or Overnight Boarding Care
Your baby will be right at home
We do not kennel housebroken dogs. Period. Your dog will have the run of our house, like they do at home. We prefer to cover our sofa with blankets than to forbid our closest friends from sitting next to us.
Dogs are pack animals and they prefer to sleep with their pack. We know that most small dogs are allowed to sleep in the beds of their owners. They are at our house, too. In fact, we refer to them as “pack beds”. 😀 We know it’s hard enough for your baby to be left behind when you’re on the move, we wouldn’t dream of making them sleep alone if they need cuddling and comfort.
When He Can’t Go, You Will Know:
- Your baby will never be left unattended or at home without a hooman ✔️
- Your baby will be engaged in fun activities including water play in summer, ball launch and agility features ✔️
- Your baby will be well fed according to your instructions and hydrated with filtered water ✔️
- Your baby will NEVER by traumatized by the sounds of other barking and wailing dogs while they try to rest peacefully, awaiting your return ✔️
- Your baby will be safe ✔️✔️
