We found a large Bernese Mountain stray dog in out neighborhood. We were at our wit's end about how to find his owner. We took the dog to Country Oaks and the staff checked him for a chip. They were very supportive of our efforts.

The kennel attendants were very good and always kept me updated when I called to check on Wally. I have recommended this facility to my neighbors. In fact, Carol boarded her dog Jackson there at the same time! Thank you for such wonderful care!!
