All About Us

Paws for Thought

We are a family of animal lovers, raised with animals.  Mom grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and rabbits. Dad and sons were all raised with dogs and cats.
We participated in 4-H dog training and agility as a family. We rescued and fostered dogs while the kids were growing up. We also cared for friend's pups.  
We started caring for other pups when we lost our own dog, and the other dog, a senior, seemed lonely.  The vet said being around other dogs would help and may even extend her life!  Losing one dog was so heartbreaking that my family did not want to get another dog to keep right away, so we decided to board dogs at our home.  It was really great for our dog and enriched the rest of her remaining years.
We have since boarded dogs for the past 3 years, expanding into walking, and drop in visits.  
This situation is also very good for my autistic son. He has an amazing bond with animals. Owners are amazed at how he takes to them.  And he gets a sense of accomplishment from being responsible for them
We have many repeat customers, and the dogs get so excited when they see us!  t’s why so many of them use our services on a regular basis We can’t wait to start looking after your precious fur baby.
