Laverne
Laverne is a 14-year-old yellow lab. Given that she is in the later years of life, she’s enjoying her Florida retirement with lots of relaxation. Though she doesn’t play much anymore, she’s more than happy to join our dog visitors who enjoy a nice, long midday (or anytime) nap.

Archibald
Archie is a 4-year-old Chinese crested and Jack Russell terrier. At 14 pounds, he has a minor case of small-dog syndrome. Once he’s done barking from behind his mom’s legs, he finds the courage to play with new furry friends.

Norman
Norm is a 10-year-old Shar-Pei mix and is the newest one in our pack. He comes from an abusive and neglectful background, which has caused him extreme fear and though timid, he is eager to build relationships and is happiest when new furry friends are excited to play with him.

We also need to know the basics e.g., if they’re good with people and other animals, their food and/or medication schedule, if they’re allowed on furniture and if they have any quirks or unusual behaviors. In addition to this information, anything else that you deem necessary for us to know in order to provide the best possible care for your dog(s)!
