Dog of the Month - Rusty

Rusty, our 5 year old Airedale, has been staying at Country Kennel since he was a one year old. We had been searching for a good place to board him after several stressful boarding experiences where Rusty would not eat or sleep due to separation anxiety. Our priority was to find a clean, safe, caring environment where he could socialize with people and dogs. A friend suggested Country Kennel and it has been Rusty’s home away from home ever since. Martha and Chuck make a point to understand his specific personality and needs as well as to engage in a wonderful relationship with him and us. When I put Rusty’s favorite food container in the car he excitedly jumps in as he knows he is headed to Country Kennel. As we pull in the long drive up to the kennel he starts bouncing around and hangs his head out the car window eagerly looking for all his friends. Country Kennel has a super group of repeat guests, many of whom have become Rusty’s favorite playmates. We have been given great peace of mind knowing how loved and well cared for he is at Country Kennel. Martha and Chuck accommodate any need he has whether it involves an emergency veterinary visit, administering a special diet and allergy medications, providing soothing oatmeal baths or simply taking time for that belly rub and sweet talking he loves so much.
