*ADOPT KOEN!*

Hi! My name is Koen, and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a sweet, playful boy who loves being around my people. I can be a little nervous when we first meet, but once I warm up, I’m a big lover.

I do best in a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I’d absolutely love another dog to play with or an owner who’s home often so I can stay close by your side.

A little more about me:

German/Australian Shepherd mix
Almost 4 years old
Well-behaved on leash and a good listener
Loves to play and be active
Takes daily medication for hip dysplasia and separation anxiety

I’m looking for someone patient, loving, and committed—someone who will help me feel safe and give me the companionship I thrive on.

If you think we could be a great match, please reach out to my mom to meet me. (You can message Nature of the Dog for her contact info).

It's that time of year again! Please help us keep our local, dog-friendly businesses list up to date! This list was built years ago by our fantastic dog community as a fun resource for people who like to find dog-friendly places to bring their dogs. We like to update it every year so it stays current. If there's a business that is not on the list, please let us know! If there's a business that's no longer dog-friendly, please let us know so we can take them off. Feel free to comment below or PM us with updates. You can also email us at [email protected]. Thanks so much!

Last night we celebrated with Ashlyn (our assistant manager, and groomer from Way of the Dog Grooming) for her upcoming wedding! I can't say enough great things about our staff. They are a delight to work with, to laugh with and to celebrate with. They are genuinely wonderful human beings who bring their best, every day. ♡

This March marks 15 years in business! We are so grateful that our fantastic community has supported us throughout the years by entrusting us with their furry family members. We love what we do and feel very thankful and blessed to get up each and every day to offer the best pet care possible. To celebrate, we are giving away free t-shirts! If you would like one, please message us with your size (unisex sizing).
