Majestic Jac

Today we welcomed Jac. Jac is a 12-pound 5 month-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy (not to be mixed with the Cardigan Welsh Corgi which has a tail). He came in excited as to what was going to happen as we took him into The Fort. After he entered the medium roll, he began socializing and having lots of fun. Jac was able to relax during nap time. We were able to catch a couple of videos of Jac with Shiva and Augie among others. Check 'em out!

We look forward to having Jac return for some more fun times!
Have a nice evening,

| Vivacious Monday |

        Happy Monday, I hope that everyone's Monday is off to a good start. The dogs at Fort Fido are enjoying their time with the pack today while their owners are away. The day should be a nice, warm, and comfy one today at a high of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. While out-and-about with your dog today make sure to keep them hydrated in this warm weather. During their stay at The Fort the pups are hard at play, take a look at some of the videos below. 

Take a gander at Rogue, Storm, and Daisey playing around below

Max and Dolce were hard-at-play in the medium roll as well

They were not the only ones at play while in medium roll, Shiva and Max played about too

Make sure to enjoy this wonderful weather!

Romping Mazy

Good Morning! Yesterday we welcomed Mazy, a 5-month-old female labradoodle. At first Mazy was shy when entering Fort Fido, but as soon as some others began to enter the medium roll, along with Mazy, she warmed up and was playing like there was no tomorrow. Mazy was having a blast with Shiva, as seen in the video below.

Mazy continued to play with Shiva, enjoying her first day here at The Fort.

We look forward to having Mazy return to Fort Fido (as does Shiva!).
Happy Spring,

Please welcome Kaylee, Jupiter & Rainier!

Yesterday we Assessed Kaylee, she is a nine month old, about twenty-five pound, Labrador Retriever and Boxer Mix. Now Kaylee is a very sweet, yet very shy and timid canine. She is here at The Fort, to socialize, play, and gain some confidence. We escorted Kaylee to the Medium Play Area, where she was quite unsure about what she was here to do... However, upon meeting some other canines, Kaylee quickly blossomed, it was an awesome surprise! What she lacks in confidence with humans and new surroundings, she makes up for ten-fold, in dog-play and socialization. Kaylee sprinted around, and played hard with several different members of the Medium Roll's pack. It was a pleasure to see. We believe that Fort Fido can do a lot for Kaylee's confidence and well being. Given time and consistency, we know she can become an even better, and less timid adult dog.

Here, Kaylee has some fun sprinting around with Winnie and Louis, good times!

Today we had a doubleheader of Assessments. Meet Jupiter and Rainier!

Jupiter is a energy-filled, eight month old, fifty-five pound, Blue Merle, Australian Shepherd.

Rainier is a calm, eight month old, fifty pound, Black and White Colored, Australian Shepherd.

Jupiter and Rainier are the type of dogs that would be able to handle both our Medium and Large Play areas. To warm them up to our place, we had them try the Medium Roll on for size. One therein, the two "dog brothers" explored their new surroundings merrily. After a few minutes, it was time to begin to meet the pack. Both Jupiter and Rainier did so properly, and with gusto! They befriended several of the pack members within minutes. They took a real liking to Louis, Shiva, and Otis, among others. We were thrilled to see these two high-energy herding dogs, fit in so well, play, and be liked by the pack so quickly. We have a feeling that We'll be seeing these two dudes again for sure!

In the clips that follow, you can spot both Jupiter and Rainier enjoying themselves.

All of our newcomers have done a real swell job the last couple of days, rock on! Welcome to Fido's Pack.

Have a great weekend and a nice Holiday,

-Grant
P.S. There is still room tonight, and this weekend, for Overnight Boarding. If you need to get your dog in, give us a call and reserve your spot.

Reese & Shiva

Yesterday we had Reese in for her Assessment Day. She is a two year old, forty-one pound, brindle, Pit Bull Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Mix. Reese's first couple of years have been tough. Unfortunately, she was abused, and on top of that, just got done having a litter of puppies. It's been a roller coaster for her. Fortunately however, she has just been rescued and has found a loving forever-home with her new owner. The great thing about Reese, is that although she's a bit timid around people at first, she is fantastic with other canines! She speaks very good "Dog", and socializes with other canines most properly. Reese had a blast in The Fort's Big Roll, where she made several friends quickly and easily. It's cool to see such a resilient canine in action.

In this clip, Reese and Tucker get into some shenanigans.

Bright and early this morning we Assessed Shiva! She is a stunning, five month old, thirty pound, German Shepherd. Alert and excited, Shiva was quite ready to explore her new surroundings... It was also hilarious when she barked a bit before coming in, after noticing our "dog silhouettes" on the outside of the building. Your typical German Shepherd, Shiva, is good looking and highly intelligent, she will continue to need very strong leadership to grow into a calm and balanced adult dog. Due to her small size, Shiva hung-out in Fort Fido's Medium Roll. There, she met with the Medium Roll pack healthily. For a pup, she did a real fine job of meeting, greeting, and "speaking" with the elder-dogs. When it came to playing, Shiva was extremely into it! She "got down" with several of the Medium Rollers, and took quite a liking to Otis, among others.

You can see, Shiva, playing with Otis, in the clips that follow.

Reese and Shiva can both get a ton out of Dog Daycare. We are ecstatic to have them amongst our ranks!

Have a nice weekend,

-Grant
