What is the application process?
You may submit your application for the next school year at any time; all applicants are put on a “waiting list” until January when we begin the acceptance process.

However, we realize that for many of our boarding clients, bringing their dog for a day only is inconvenient. To encourage all new clients to do this, there is no charge for the introduction/evaluation day. If
