Ruff House Pet Resort

A commonly asked question this week:

“What are we doing with the dog’s during this crazy heat wave?”

🏠 The doors in our main building come down so that everyone inside can enjoy the AC. We still keep an industrial fan in our small yard for additional cooling as well!

☀️ Your big dogs will get a safe amount of play and exercise in the morning before it starts to get too hot outside for them. When the heat does hit they will also get to enjoy the AC while being rotated in small play groups throughout the afternoon. It’s important to us that everyone remains safe and comfortable!

🐾 As always, we take extra precautions with our seniors and brachycephalic breeds who get limited play time in high temperatures. Fresh water is always provided and accessible to all dogs!

Savanna has been a Ruff House team member since 2020. She previously went to school for Veterinary Assistant and worked for a few years in a vet clinic, where she got lots of hands on experience with dogs, cats and exotics!

As an animal lover, working at a pet resort brings Savanna a lot of joy. She most enjoys the satisfaction of making our guests happy while they’re in our care ❤️

While her list grows every day, some of her favorite friends include Dutch and Brooklyn the Labs, Raya the Golden Retriever and Pierre the French Bulldog 🐶

Yesterday was International Waffle 🧇 Day!

✨ Staff Spotlight ✨

Before joining the Ruff House staff in 2022 April worked at another pet resort for over a year. April currently works as one of our pack leaders and has excellent yard management skills!

April’s favorite part about working at a pet resort is caring for all our customer dogs. She loves getting the shy dogs to come out of their shells and introducing them to activities like the pool, ball time or lick mats. April finds it especially rewarding to spend time and play with our private play dogs who don’t get to go into the group play yards ❤️

Her favorite breeds are Doodle’s, Yorkie’s and Shih Tzu’s. Some of her favorites to see are Rusty the Goldendoodle, Dino the Havanese, Hank the Terrier and Mickey the Maltese mix 🐾

If you’ve been a long time customer of ours, then you may already recognize Vanessa! She started working at Ruff House as a Pack Leader in 2013! She has come and gone a few times over the years, but in that time has worked as a pack leader, kennel supervisor, front desk receptionist and dog trainer 🤪 Recently, she was promoted to Marketing Manager and handles all of our branding and social media 📸

Vanessa has worked with dogs from a very young age, having grown up in and around the dog show circuit. She favors sporting and working breeds, but some of her favorite friends to see at work every week are Finn the Cattle Dog, Castiel the Mini Aussie and Roo the Bernedoodle 🐾

Vanessa loves being able to work with dogs every day, but her favorite part of working at Ruff House has been the friendships she’s made with her fellow staff members through the years!

Happy Independence Day, from all of us at Ruff House! 🐾
