The Spotted Spa Retreat

07/08/2021

After almost 18 years in business and helping to opening the door to many other free run facilities in Kelowna it is time for me to move on. I would like to thank all my loyal clients over the years for letting me love and cuddle your pups. I have so many fond and funny memories of the antics they would get up to. From my very first guest, Harley, to my very last one out the door, Angus, it has been an ongoing adventure with many ups and downs. I wish you all the best and I will miss you all with all my heart. The spotted spa email will forever remain active so please keep in touch and if you are ever planning on driving through Barriere let me know.

Thank you for helping a 24 year old girl’s dream come true!

Thank you everyone for your kind words at the announcement of our closure...this is a bitter sweet time for me for sure. I am very excited to start my next adventure in a new town and maybe starting up a similar but different business once I get settled in. As of mid-June my little funny farm will be completely relocated to the "big" town of Barriere BC, if you aren't sure where that is....it's about 40 minutes north of Kamloops up the Yellowhead Hwy. We have purchased a smaller piece of land and are excited for a slower paced town. If you are passing through please stop in and say hello...you will all be missed!

On a more Spotted Spa note....everything in our facility MUST GO! So if you or anyone you know might be thinking of starting up a boarding facility or a rescue all of our dog dens, bowls, buckets etc are being sold off....I don't want to move them! Some of the stuff is available immediately as our boarding has not picked up since COVID started.

With tears in my eyes I regretfully inform you that The Spotted Spa will be permanently closing its doors on Saturday May 29. The closure is due to the property being sold and the new owners not wanting to continue the business. The last day of daycare and the day all sleepovers will be going home is 8pm Friday May 28. I am hoping that you will continue to send your pup for daycare and boarding until that time.....giving myself and the other staff 8 weeks to say our goodbyes. I truly appreciate your loyalty you've shown us and I will miss every pup (and human) I've had the pleasure of knowing over the last 17.5 years that The Spotted Spa has been in business. So thank you for being a part of my dream. 💕

We are looking for a foster to adopt situation for Sarabi.💛

Her puppies have moved on and we need a special loving home for her. 🥰

She is recovering from some joint issues, so we would prefer a home with no other pets or young kids while she recovers.

She loves to lounge outside so a fenced yard is a must. And because of her joint issues, she can't do long walks so a quiet low energy home would be the best for her.

She needs a confident owner who can help her be her best doggy self.

Please fill out an application here if you think you might be the right fit for this beautiful girl.

It was just a few weeks before Christmas and Andrea Loar, DVM was having a hard day. An emergency clinic veterinarian, she had seen a difficult case, the kind that lingers long after the tearful clients had left her exam room with their critically sick cat in tow, their footsteps echoing down the li...
