​We only accept approximately 12 dogs at a time. This allows us to get to know our pups and they are all able to receive the time and attention that they deserve. Our play groups stay small and with over 1000 square feet of indoor place space and almost 3000 square feet of outside play space, the pups have plenty of room to play and relax!

​

Dog Acceptance Policy

All new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to their first stay. If circumstances prevent you from coming in for a meet and greet please discuss those circumstances with Shelly to see if accommodations can be made. Our evaluations cover your pups basic behavior at home, their interactions with other humans, their interactions with other pups, and their play styles. The first meet and greet is free, last minute cancellations can be rescheduled for a $20 fee.

​

Dogs who pass our evaluation and are accepted into play groups get play time with other pups at no additional fee.

​

We are very lucky to be able to provide an environment that accommodates most dogs. We are aware that some pups have special needs and may not do well with other dogs, or other people. We have created a separate space for those pups.

​

Zodiac and Fireball pups are friends who either can't play with other pups or who need additional supervision and management during their playtime. These friends are an additional $5 per night.

​

Zodiac+ pups will be a rare guest. We have made this category for pups who have a bite history with people. These are NOT pups who actively attack strangers, but who may be more prone to biting when upset. We understand that the owners of these pups may still have funerals, emergencies, or crisis occur and they may need a safe place for their dog. Zodiac+ pups will cost an additional $12 per night with a two night maximum. That can be extended based on the dogs history and behavior. 

​

Due to their higher level of care, we are limited in the number of Zodiac and Zodiac+ pups that we can have at any given time.

  • Any dogs displaying symptoms will need to have their vet clear them of contagious illness and serious medical conditions. Any dog diagnosed with a contagious illness within the 7 days prior to their stay will have their stay canceled or be charged $85 per night. Dogs with a known contagious illness will be housed separately from other dogs.

  • Any owner who does not disclose their dogs known illness/symptoms will be banned from ACDB.

  • Images of your pet may be used for marketing purposes.

Any dogs that are identified as instigating problems will be separated from the other dogs as appropriate. Any known injury will be reported to owners as soon as possible.

  • We may use calming chews for dogs who are showing a lot of anxiety. If you do not want your pup to be given a calming chew, please let us know so we can add it to their information.

  • In the event of any emergency, owners/emergency contacts will be contacted. If the dog is at risk of losing life or limb, the dog will immediately be transported to a local veterinarian hospital. You need to provide an emergency contact other than yourself in case we can not reach you.

  • You give both ACDB and your veterinarian office and any staff of either company permission to disclose information related to the safety and health of your pet, including the release of pet medical records.

  • You give ACDB staff permission to make medical decisions for your dog if you/ your emergency contact can not be reached.

  • Arriving with incorrect medical or feeding information in the reservation portal will add a $35 fee. We use standard measuring cups when measuring food, not "scoops" or cups from home.

    • A note about measurements- “1 cup” is equal to one (1) eight ounce measuring cup that’s leveled off. One cup does not mean one scoop or one drinking cup from home. Any random person should be able to read the kennel card and know how much your dog eats. A rounded cup or heaping cup means I use the same eight ounce measuring cup, but don’t level it off.

  • A stay is not considered reserved until payment is received in full. Owners will be notified if their dogs stay is at risk of being canceled due to non-payment or reaching the booking cap.

  • In order to receive a full refund and to not be charged a fee for changing dates, cancellations to boarding reservations need to be completed the day before invoices are due. Once invoices are due, adding nights will cost an additional $10 per dog/ per night above the regular rate and canceled nights will be eligible for up to a 50% refund.
