Our Story

We’re a family-owned kennel built on love for animals, community, and the place we proudly call home.

 

We met in the Washington, DC area, where we started our family and spent several years living city life. As our family grew, so did our desire to slow down, put down roots, and give our children room to grow. That journey eventually led us to rural Pennsylvania—back to the area where Kurt grew up.

 

Before we ever owned the kennel, we were clients. We trusted this kennel with our own dog and knew firsthand how important it is to have a place where pets are cared for like family. When the previous owners shared that they were ready to sell in the spring of 2024, we were also searching for our forever home. The timing felt right, and we jumped at the opportunity to take on something that already meant so much to us.

 

While our main goal was to build a permanent home for our small family, being able to serve fellow pet owners has been an incredibly rewarding bonus. We take pride in caring for your pets and love being a contributing part of this community we now call home.

 

Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are at the heart of everything we do—and we’re grateful to be trusted with them
