Dancing Creek Farm

Below is my kitty sanctuary. The building is a old log smokehouse that is over 100 years old.

The cats were once feral as little kittens but completely social now. I decided since I was allergic I couldn’t keep them in the house and they drove the dogs nuts! I have one cat that thinks he’s a dog.

The inside is floored with cedar chip bedding. They have beds and it’s like a cozy little cabin. You can’t see it but the top is completely closed in with chicken wire. This summer I will build a waterfall pond with some fish.

This is a crew of long term dogs here at Dancing Creek. Currently we have a total of  6 dogs that have been here 3 months or longer, some staying for a year.  It’s rare that we have 5 together in one area, all the time, but these 5 are the best of friends. I honestly never seen a pack of dogs get along so well. I can give them treats together, feed, play, almost anything and no fighting. They play, cuddle and all are perfect together.

Ruby and Mulligan live in Virginia. They are staying for 6 months while their family remodels. Ruby has three legs but this doesnt stop her from jumping on the table and hanging out. Mulligan is the oldest of the group and pretty mellow. Wonder Dog is a rescue I’ve had for 8 years.

Rascal is camera shy

Rowdy IS rowdy!

Above is Rascal and Rowdy. Rascal runs and hides every time I pull the camera out.  He and Rowdy are here for a year while their family is working Italy. Rowdy is one wild boy! Rascal more laid back. Rascal loves laying on the deck and prefers spending as much time as he can outside. He also likes to hang out with me while I do chores around the farm. He’s one of the few dogs I can let off leash and know he won’t take off. I could never do this with Rowdy!

On the ground is straw we put down in the winter to keep things clean. Every month new straw and hay goes down. The dog areas are always swept and clean. Its a full time job because these dogs are always on vacation and play non-stop. Everything looks clean now but it doesnt always look so clean! Especially after a big rain, lots of playful muddy dogs. In fact if you see the picture of Rowdy the floor is wet. “Someone” loves to play in the water bucket.

Thursday is Thanksgiving and we have two turkeys. One for me and my family and one for the dogs. The dogs get turkey, sweet potatos and yogurt (to help digest all that good food!).

Taking care of foster dogs long term is a great responsibility. Its important to us that we provide a loving, home like environment for dogs that must be away from their families. In fact we probably spoil them even more because of this. Nice long brushing, petting, walking and as you can see non-stop playing!

Starting in Sept we are offering a special monthly rate for dog walking. Between the hours of 12-4PM I can come to your home, take your pet or pets for a walk play, brush, whatever you’d like done in the 30 min I’m there. You can request longer times or if you are close to a park (within 10 min by car)  you can even blend in a weekly park trip for an hour.

We all get really busy and it’s tough being home all day. This gives a much needed potty break and a chance to get some hugs and kisses.

Walks and visits are Monday-Friday - between the hours of noon and 4pm.  The only persons walking your dogs will be myself and a family member.

$300.00 a month – 5 days a week for 30 min a trip – each park trip (60 min) add additional 25.00 – each additional dog, same family, add $50.00 – You can combine with a neighbor if their house is within two houses and the dogs get along with each other enjoy playing.

0r a more affordable option.

$150.00 a month –  2 days a week or 8 times per month.

Once you sign up you are billed monthly. Space is limited and its an ongoing program. If you’re interested and in the Danville/Brosville area use the contact form to contact me.

Thanks
