OCTOBER AT HOUNDAWAY - HELPING OTHERS AND SCARY FUN

There's a lot going on at HoundAway during the month of October. Besides the usual regimen of socialization, exercise and engagement, HoundAway will be holding its second annual "Howl'ween at HoundAway" event on October 30th. All guests joining us on the 30th will enjoy treats, costumes and special events sure to delight. We hope to start Puppy Training towards the end of the month - watch for details! We will also be working to help dogs who are not as fortunate as the ones who visit us every day. To that end, during the month of October we are donating five percent of the proceeds generated from the sale of daycare packages to Homeward Bound Rescue, "...a foster-based, all-volunteer non-profit group dedicated to rescuing flat-faced dogs in need all across Ontario!" Why? Because we believe that all dogs deserve the opportunity to be happy and loved, regardless of their appearance.

​We hope you can join us as we celebrate October here at HoundAway!

​FIRST TIME GUESTS
​

HoundAway requires a Temperament Assessment be completed for first time daycare and boarding guests to ensure that they will enjoy our very social environment and not go home with destructive behaviours. This four-hour evaluation also gives the dog a chance to meet and get to know our team and facility and make friends prior to their first daycare or boarding experience with us.
​
Before you arrive for your Temperament Assessment we ask that you complete our form packages for either daycare or boarding. There is a link below where you can access these packages. Once completed they can be brought in on the assessment day or emailed directly to us at info@houndaway.com beforehand, along with a copy of your dog's vaccination history.

The Temperament Evaluation is $23 (plus HST). Your dog can spend more than the four-hour minimum with us if you prefer, at no additional charge.  

If your dog is not comfortable or does not do well in our very social environment, you will not be charged for the assessment. 

​Every new guest must be at least four months of age and have completed their Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Distemper and Rabies vaccinations.  Guests must stay up to date on their vaccinations in order to continue with our daycare or boarding programs. We also require that all our guests be spayed or neutered by their first birthday.  Any female in heat is not permitted on the premises, for their  safety as well as for the safety of our other guests and employees.

Great service is not just about smiling faces. It's about providing the best product, offering a consistent process and caring about how we treat each dog every day.  When you entrust your dog with HoundAway, they will enjoy all the comforts of home - and more!
