“It’s not just about putting your dog where it will be safe and secure. We wanted a place where you could leave a beloved, furry friend and know that they’d have fun and enjoy being there. Each dog that stays with us is lovingly attended to, okay, maybe even spoiled a little, trained if needed, but most of all, cared for in a very special way.”

“Our dogs, Rudy, Howard, Goner and Dusty, mean the world to us. We have felt guilty about leaving them when we were away or even just during the day when we had to go to work. We’ve re-arranged vacations and holidays to accommodate them. Best Friends Fur Ever gives people options for ways to ensure that your dog has a great time, whether you’re away for the day or a week. It’s also a facility where you can take a good dog, add some training or behavior work, and take home a great dog that you’ll love and enjoy even more.”

They have spent 12 years working with veterinarians and pet owners throughout the United States and all over the world. Working for an international veterinary company, they learned how essential careful planning, hard work and innovation can be to any business in the animal industry. Then they applied this learning to their dream of building Best Friends Fur Ever.
“We researched, scoped out and visited more than 25 facilities all over the country,” Kelly explains before designed the facility you see today.
Kelly also attended some advanced training to become a certified animal trainer.
Kelly has managed complex, multi-million businesses yet admits “nothing is more challenging or rewarding to me than coming here every day and working with these dogs. I want to meet and exceed every owner’s expectation of what a doggie day care and training facility is all about.”
Pat, who has an extensive background in marketing and sales, says “it’s great to measure our bottom line by some additional factors than just the traditional financial measures. We look at the wagging tails coming into the facility and the dogs pressing to push open the door, and know that we’re on the right track.”
“We both are dedicated to your pet’s happiness. We’ll work with you to find the programs and services that fit your lifestyle and needs. We look forward to meeting your special friend and appreciate the opportunity to spend time with them.”
