Some Good News for Save A Dog Rescue!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Best Friends Spring) — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 18:11:00 +0000

We are exhibiting select pets in need of adoption sponsored by Save A Dog Rescue. Anja (a volunteer) has recently found homes for two dogs after they met their new owners while hanging out in our front lobby.

We are very happy for them and hope to continue working with the Rescue. They will be our Angel Tree recipient of gifts and donations this year as well.

Meet Taylor (she now attends Doggy Day Camp with her new sister Sally).She is a very sweet and well-behaved lab mix. And we get to continue to see her!

And this is Leea: A lovely silky terrier we hope to see again when she needs her next shampoo and styling!

Save A Dog had some success this last weekend at Pet Fest in Old Town Spring, finding owners for multiple pets.

Meet Juliet!

noreply@blogger.com (Best Friends Spring) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:11:00 +0000

"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun." We agree! Recently we had the privilege to meet a new friend, and we'd like to introduce you to Juliet. This was possibly the calmest puppy we had ever met!

Some other great things about Juliet....

*She is very low maintainence - she pretty much walks herself!

*She has tons of personality to spare!

*And she did a great job of babysitting our groomers before her go home bath!

One of the big highlights of working at Best Friends is all the new friends we get to meet every day. You never know who will be coming in! Come pay us a visit!

4th of July Festivities!

noreply@blogger.com (Best Friends Spring) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 18:27:00 +0000

Summer is in full swing! Along with the season and all the holidays come some busy, busy times here at Best Friends! Yesterday we had a great time focusing on all our furry friends. Other than a brief rain in the afternoon, we had some great weather to celebrate with.

Some things to consider if you are dropping your pet off for their own vacation. What will your pet be doing? Treats, toys, and playtimes are a great way to keep your pooch occupied. Your pet is welcome to bring toys and treats from home when they visit. However, we do recommend leaving the very favorite toys at home. If you're afraid the items might not last the visit, we do offer a wide variety of toys and chewies in our lobby, or you can sign your pet up to have room service deliver special, home made ice cream or suite treats to your pooch!

Playtimes are another great way to occupy your pooch. Our new play and stay program is perfect for the pooch that enjoys the company of other dogs, is spayed/nuetered, and is over 5 months old. Your pup will get four hours of playtime each day with other dogs under the supervision of our trained daycamp staff. If this doesn't sound like something your dog would enjoy, they can still play one on one with our staff during playtimes, fitness sessions, and cuddle times.

25% off Spay or Neuter until 6-30-2010!
