Kindred Spirit: A cage-free haven for small dogs, Seniors and medium sized dogs who need special TLC in a small group !

 A personal alternative to kennels and house sitters since 2006!

PSI Bonded&Insured!

Kindred Spirit has run a cage-free, compassionate boarding business since 2006 ! 

• Owner Martina concentrates on the individual needs of small& medium dogs and bigger Seniors  at  THE KINDRED SPIRIT COTTAGE located on 1 fenced acre and shown in picture above. She likes to keep her guest groups SMALL and provides regular daycare for a bigger group 3 days a week .EVERY DOG  IS ASKED FOR A MEET-N-GREET AND HAS HER TEMPERAMENT ASSESSED BEFORE S/HE IS ACCEPTED 
•  
•  Our service starts at 8am  with a daily adventurous 2-3 mile trail hike !!!!We also offer  a leashed short neighborhood walk  for our Senior friends.
• EVERYONE gets a choice of sleeping on a couch or dog bed in our home overnight .
•  
• UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT ACCEPT DOGS OVER  70LBS AND UNNEUTERED MALES OLDER THAN 8 MONTHS
• We are bonded and insured 
• Associate DAWN KIRKPATRICK  opens her home " THE KINDRED SPIRIT HAVEN " to 2-3 small and medium sized dogs at a time  in a calmer environment  . CALL HER AT 541-728-6658 
• OUR FOCUS IS ON THE INDIVIDUAL DOG : we temperament test her/ him by introducing them to our own  dogs in our inital interview. We find out what they like / dislike and we watch their pack behavior when you bring them for a playdate before their service starts - then we accept the dog .Owner Martina has studied Canine Psychology , Canine first aid and has 14 years of experience handling dogs in a safe and compassionate way . 
• We are low-tech (no cameras, no artificial turf) and hands-on,  spending 8 hours supervising dogs play inside and outside daily. Someone is on the premises full- time to always keep an eye/ear on them.Our dog to Person ratio is 4 to 1, the lowest in town,

We feel that if we would get a dollar for every time the dogs make us smile, we would all be millionaires:-)
