This is the place to board your pal when you can't take him with you. Four Paws has a great facility for boarding / day care and is staffed by caring individuals. My dog became very depressed and dehydrated at a standard type boarding facility, this was the vets diagnosis on the second day after pet returned home and was not himself. A friend told me about Four Paws and when I absolutely had to leave/board him, I tried it. He had a good experience - was healthy and in good spirits. I think the mix of open play area and compatible mixing of dogs with the individual sleep spaces is comfotable and provides distractions that keep dogs from being sad. It is the only place I will leave my pal.
