Some relationships start with a simple drop-off. Then you learn your dog's favorite person. You know which friend they look for first. You celebrate birthdays, milestones, and new adventures together.

And somewhere along the way, you realize you're not just part of a daycare or boarding facility. You're part of the FIDO family.

That's one of the things we missed most, and one of the things we're most excited to bring back with FIDO 2.0. Because FIDO has always been built on relationships. ❤️🐾

When you leave your dog in someone else's care, you're trusting them with a member of your family. That's why peace of mind isn't an extra at FIDO. It's part of the experience.

Our approach is built around communication, transparency, individualized care, and building relationships with both dogs and their people.

You should feel confident they're exactly where they belong. 🐾❤️

A happy, well-rounded dog needs more than a chance to run around. Enrichment gives dogs opportunities to use their bodies, engage their minds, build social skills, and experience the world in positive ways.

At FIDO, enrichment can look different for every dog:
🐾 Physical: Movement, play and exploration
🧠 Mental: Problem-solving, learning and new experiences
🐶 Social: Positive interactions and appropriate play
❤️ Individual: Activities tailored to each dog's personality, comfort level and needs

Because the goal isn't simply to send home a tired dog. It's to create an experience where dogs can learn, explore, socialize and thrive.

Some dogs are social butterflies. Some need a little time to warm up. Some have endless energy, while others are happiest taking things at their own pace.

At FIDO, we take the time to understand those differences.

Through individualized attention, specialized play groups, enrichment, and positive reinforcement, we create experiences that support each dog's unique personality, needs, and comfort level.

Because great care isn't one-size-fits-all.

What makes FIDO different?

It's never been just one thing.

It's taking the time to understand each dog's unique personality instead of treating every dog the same.

It's creating enriching experiences that help dogs build confidence, friendships, and healthy routines.

It's using positive reinforcement to encourage learning and trust.

And it's building relationships. Not only with the dogs in our care, but with the families who love them.

These values have guided us since day one, and they'll continue to shape every decision we make as we build FIDO 2.0.

Because while our facility is changing, our commitment to your dogs never will. ❤️🐾

We've missed a lot over the past year.

The morning greetings.
The happy dances at drop-off.
The muddy paws.
The belly rubs.
The goofy smiles.
The quiet moments when a nervous dog finally feels at home.

These are the moments that have always made FIDO special.

As we continue building toward reopening, it's these everyday moments that keep us inspired. We can't wait to create them again with all of you. 🐾❤️

The next chapter is taking shape! 🐾

Here are a few of the exciting new features coming with FIDO 2.0.

Follow along for construction updates, exciting developments, and new offerings of FIDO 2.0!

Every journey has a story. Ours is one of resilience, hope, and community. ❤️🐾

When we look back over the past year, we're reminded how far we truly have come.
The flood changed our path, but it never changed our purpose.

Because of your encouragement, generosity, and unwavering support, we're writing a new chapter, one that leads us to FIDO 2.0 and an even brighter future.

Our story is not defined by what we lost.

❤️ The best is yet to come.

We have the ability to haul it.
