Lucky Dog Stay and Play

There’s a lot of learning happening out in the Pack Program, and not just for the dogs. 💙🐾

Our handler Vickie says one of her favorite things about working with the Pack is that it challenges her, too:

“The dogs learn confidence and patience, and so do I.”

Between exploring the Bark Park, spending time surrounded by nature, practicing patience and building confidence (with a few golf cart rides mixed in 😂), the Pack Program gives our dogs opportunities to learn, explore, and grow alongside the people who care for them.

And we think that’s pretty special. 🐶💙

Not siblings… just weekend besties who happen to match. 🥹💙🐾

Reina and Aspen met while boarding with us this weekend and became fast friends. Safe to say these two found their vacation buddy! 🐶🐶

One of our favorite parts of boarding? Watching new friendships like this happen. 💙

Every pup has their person. 💙🐾

At Lucky Dog, it’s not just our handlers who form special bonds with the dogs in our care. From the people caring for them every day to the team members working behind the scenes, our pups have a way of making friends with everyone.

Just ask Maisy Moo. Her absolute favorite person at Lucky Dog? Our maintenance guy, Charlie. 😂💙 And if that last photo of her pouting at the gate after he left doesn’t prove it, we don’t know what will.

It’s these little relationships that make Lucky Dog feel like so much more than a place dogs come to spend the day. They become part of our lives, too. 🐶
