I think you first need to understand the character of these people. Kasha came to visit us at our…read morehome to make sure we were a good fit for the dog. We had a great chat and she explained that sometimes dogs aren't able to find homes as they are too old, aggressive, unsociable etc. If this is the case Kasha keeps the dogs herself. So she has 7 misfit dogs at home because she won't allow them to be put in harm's way. Kasha and her colleagues are truly incredible people who dedicate their lives to the welfare of our canine friends. So I was shocked to see negative reviews. There are always a few idiots, those entitled individuals who require instant gratification. Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows it's a little tough to begin with but you put in the work and you'll end up with a best friend for life. Our Stella was nothing short of a miracle. We got her just before the pandemic and we would have struggled to get through it without her. I can't thank you enough Kasha and all the heroes at Furfriends.

I'm very selective with any breeder I go to and so far this is the best experience I've had. She spends so much time loving them and making sure they're healthy, happy , and very loved before they go to their forever homes and continues to stay in contact as they grow up. It makes all the difference in the world when breeders truly love what they do and put the amount of effort in she does. Highly recommend . Arlo is an absolute angel , very intelligent, healthy , sooo handsome, and thriving in all the doggie sports. So excited to add another pomsky to our home in the near future.

Yes, I knew the holiday rate for Columbus Day weekend is $55 a night. Then, there was an "After 11 am pick up HOLIDAY" fee for an additional $55, even though we wanted to pick him up on Monday morning, but were not allowed to because on a holiday you must pick up your dog up between 4:00 and 5:00. So...you can't pick him up in the morning, but you will get charged a hefty fee for picking him up in the afternoon. We were also home on Sunday, but were told ahead of time we couldn't pick up our dog on Sunday. I see now on the website that perhaps we could have and maybe saved that extra $55? Who knows? The extra fees, it seems, are many and purposely confusing. In addition to my "After 11 am pick up HOLIDAY" $55 fee, I also paid a $25 "Special Pick up" fee. I was never able to get a clear answer about what that is. Honestly, if they weren't holding my dog captive before I paid all these mysterious extra fees, I would have walked out.

It was during Christmas so it was decorated like a doggy Winter Wonderland. I originally got a tour of the place and was impressed and liked it and how they run it. I was told that the they try to take the dogs out in the grass 5-6 times a day by Sarah, but Susie let me know they don't let the dogs play together for safety reasons, which makes sense. I was a bit bummed about no puppies playing together but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. Sarah and her husband were so nice at check in and made sure my puppy was comfortable with them before taking her back. I was able to call throughout the day to check on our puppy,no problem, and Susie even called me with updates and before they closed for the night, which I super appreciated and felt more ease. Susie made an executive decision to move our puppy from a large room to a suite bc she felt our puppy would do better alone and it looks like she did. She switched her at no extra charge which was very sweet of her. Susie kept checking on our puppy and spent time with her to make her more comfortable and our puppy really took to her! I love that they care about each dog there and do what's best for them. I will definitely be bringing our puppy back and even once a month just for fun so she gets more used to the place! Highly recommend!

They didn't even think it strange when we packed a chewed slipper for a favorite toy- they knew what to expect from this precocious breed. We won't hesitate to bring her back when we go on another trip. A+++
