Core Services and Programs

Rescue Ready

Every dog deserves to look and feel great. Rescue Ready prepares small rescue dogs for their forever homes with gentle grooming, social skills, and confidence-building, in partnership with local shelters, rescues, and trainers.

Puppy Social Tea

Tiny paws, good manners, and a little tea party. Puppy Social Tea is a small, relaxed gathering where puppies and mellow small dogs practice playing nicely, meet new friends, and learn some basic obedience in a light-hearted group setting.

Puppy Grooming

Puppy Grooming Desensitization builds up important confidence skills for puppies through gentle, gradual introductions to grooming in a calm setting. We start with light handling and plenty of breaks, so new experiences feel safe, not scary.

Grief support for when they weren’t “just a pet”…

For many of us, a pet isn't just an animal we care for, they're our family. They greet us at the door, sit with us through hard days, see into our souls, and become woven into the rhythm of everyday life. So when we lose them, whether through death, a hard decision to rehome, and even through other circumstances, the grief can be just as real and just as heavy as any other loss. It doesn't need to be justified or minimized.

If you're grieving a pet, your feelings are valid, and you don't have to carry them alone. Try chatting with our grief guide.
