Don’t let this serious face fool you...Capo is our class clown, professional lap warmer and napper, chair connoisseur, uncle to our puppies and WWE opponent and honorary heel to Chibbs and Penny. Capo can’t hear us but he sure acts like he does when he wakes from his slumber during his pick up time. He’s an even tempered guy with enough love to give to everyone he meets. Every day is full of laughter with our Capo and the sun is always shining when he’s around. Life would be pretty boring without him and we’re glad he’s a part of our pack.

Meet this week’s standard daycare dog of the week: Haku!
Haku is just over 1 year old and joined our adult standard daycare about 1 month ago! He is a sweet who loves to be loved. Whether it is from the staff or his friends, he will take any attention he can get. This big boy doesn’t always remember his size and you can catch him playing with dogs of all sizes and channeling his inner lap dog with his two legged friends when his four-legged ones are resting. Welcome to the pack, Haku 🐾

Meet this week’s puppy of the week: our sweet and very playful, gentle giant Broccolini! He has never met a stranger and has the calmest presence about him, which the other dogs are quick to mirror. Although he is a confident guy he is also a chill and passive dude and will allow the other dogs to take the lead. He really just wants to be adored by his people and make as many new doggy friends as possible. According to Broccolini we have all the time in the world and that’s what we love most about him.

Get ready to laugh WITH this week’s structured daycare dog of the week: Clancy! Meet Clancy, the red prince of urban hound. He’s quite popular with the paparazzi around here so you’ve probably spotted him Irish step dancing his way into Maikoh’s good graces, sitting uncomfortably on the edge of a staff member’s lap or lounging under the table completely puzzled that a dog of his pedigree and charm hasn’t serenaded the others yet. He’s not just a pretty face and talented dancer though. Clancy is also an attentive student. He will perform any task we ask of him with a swiftness that matches his silly nature. His very best qualities are his desire to be accepted and loved by all and never taking life too seriously.

Clancy’s favorite staff member is surely Alex, but he’s an expert at making everyone feel extra special as long as his love is reciprocated.

Meet this week’s standard daycare dog of the week: Maizy ! Maizy is 6 years old and has been an Urban Hound since she joined our puppy daycare in 2019! Maizy loves being outside and ALL weather! On sunny days, you can find her sun bathing in the back yard and on rainy/snowy days, you will find her STILL in the backyard catching rain and snow while yelling at the sky to send more. She loves a good cuddle and sharing a chair with the daycare staff. Her favorite staff member would have to be whoever opens the door to the back yard aka her happy place!
