"Very professional and caring staff. We got our first rescue there and continue to take him back for boarding."

"This place took amazing care of my 5, big, crazy fur babies over thanksgiving! The owner and the whole staff were very accommodating and very down to earth. My dogs seemed like they had a great time! I will say that there was one girl who wasn't OVERLY friendly to me personally, but I don't really care as long as my pups like her."

"We've been taking our dog here for years. They know her by name, they all love her and she seems to have a great time when she goes. She is excited to see us when we pick her up, but never reluctant to go when we take her in. She is very comfortable with all the staff. They bath her before we pick her up (sometimes for free, depending on how long she has been there) and she is clean and well kept when we pick her up. It is not fancy, but they love the dogs and look after them, and it is reasonably priced. Great find and very convenient to our home in Brookside!"

"I love this place and so do my "kiddos." We've taken our 2 dogs here 2-3 times a week, every week for almost 2 years now. Our dogs get SO excited when I tell them they are going to doggy daycare. We've also used their boarding services a few times for 2-3 weeks at a time. I love that I have the option to have them bathe my giant monsters (for free with a 4 night stay) before I pick them up. The staff is super friendly and it's evident that they care. I also love that they post frequent pictures of playtime so I get to see my monsters while I'm at work."

"I have no idea what the negative reviewers are talking about. P.A.W.S. is the the rescue organization associated with A Dog's Fun Place and it's where I found my first dog. When I got him he was clean, (as clean as possible at a rescue,) happy, and well cared-for. They're a small organization and they do the very best with what they have. Most importantly, the workers are absolutely devoted to the animals in their care. I believe they're also particular about getting the right owners for their dogs and cats, which in my opinion is not only reasonable, but the responsible thing to do. Maybe these negative reviews are coming from people who wanted a dog that wouldn't have worked well in their lifestyle. I don't know what happened in their situations obviously, but I do know that I've had nothing but wonderful experiences both with adopting from them and then later boarding with them. I always get my boys back happy and clean and well loved-on. I'm never worried about them when I'm gone and coming from a devoted dog-mom, that's saying something."
