Hello My name is Kim, Owner & Director, 

​

I have always had a passion and respect for all animals and their well-being. I am a pet parent to a German Shepherd puppy named Anakin who is fully of energy. I lost my 11 year old German Shepherd named Gideon (who is featured on the home page) in August of 2023, and he was our working partner getting the kennels ready for you, our valued guests, and companion throughout all life moments. In our family, we also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu mix named Bella and 4 cats named Loki, Omen, Fraser and Sweetie ranging from 1 to 22 years old. Another passion includes my two fresh-water fish tanks and to list their names would take up this whole space. 

​

I always had pets growing up and have always honored their unique individual personalities and the love and trust they possess.

When my husband and I purchased this farm in Thorndale Ontario, we were just married. The previous owners left behind three female goats (two of which were expecting), a female German Shepherd who had 9 puppies the month after we moved in, and the menagerie of pets just grew from there, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys and an Arabian horse named Joe.

Throughout the years, I worked in a kennel for nearly a decade and became the manager. I loved being with the dogs and cats, but I knew I wanted to learn as much as I could about the industry so I transferred my career into working in a pet store, which seemed like the best of both worlds. I still got to talk to people and see their fur babies, validating I was not the only crazy pet parent out there!  All the while gaining knowledge on all the things pet related, and over 7 years of employment I learned a lot.

 

My husband and I made the decision 6 years ago to make my dreams come true, (he's an amazing guy, did much of the building and is my Prince Charming), and repurpose and renovated our barn into a cozy, quality, low stress environment for you to leave your fur babies. We installed 24 dog suites and 12 cat suites designed by the state-of-art Mason Kennels. My husband and I worked with passion to complete this dream. Life and the pandemic set us back a few years but we persevered and it is complete, ready to serve you and your fur family members as our valued guests.

 

A safe and loving place for your fur babies when you can't be with them!
