Special Thanks!

We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who came out to our Open House on Saturday June 13th, despite the gloomy weather. It was great to see some of our regular clients, as well as all the new faces! Special thanks to Jennifer from Bookie and Belle, Tina from Decor and You, Dr. Alycia Eisenstein from Banfield Evanston, and the gang from One Tail At A Time and As Good As Gold.

Stay tuned for more information on our next doggie event later this summer.

Here's some snap shots from the big day. The rainy day didn't stop the pups from bobbing for hot dogs!

This is Denny. He was visiting AFD from Indiana. We hope to see this handsome fellow again


Sahara searching for hot dogs in the pool. She couldn't find any, so she settled for a Kong.
Kelley and her boys-Cooper and Junior.

Ramiro and his dog, Cocoa. Cocoa will be starting Agility next week!

Bugsy and Darcy close their eyes in disbelief. Sahara and Matilda are hogging all the hot dogs!

Tyson stopped by also. This young Boxer pup is full of energy!

Bugsy gets a hot dog from Jessica. He worked so hard, she thought he deserved a freebie.



Darcy can't reach the hot dogs, so she decided to blow bubbles instead.

Bugsy taking a quick breather from all the hard work.

Bernie, one of our boarding/daycare dogs was upset that he was missing out on all the hot dog action. He convinced Miguel to give him a boost so he could see what was going on.

Daycare Dog of the Week!




Meet Bernie. Mr. Bernie may look intimidating, but believe us, he's not! Berns is the sweetest Boxer you'll ever meet (But don't tell his friend Apollo that we said that). Bernie has been with AFD since he was a young pup and words cannot express how much we love this handsome guy. He enjoys Piggy back rides from Miguel, giving the staff back scratches, starting games of chase, smiling for the camera, hanging out with the big dogs and getting love from the staff.




Daycamp Pool Party

Due to the rainy weather today, the daycare dogs played inside the facility. Because of this, we were unable to have our pool party today. We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. We will reschedule the pool party for next Tuesday, June 16th.

Important News

Summertime Day Camp Beach Party
Book your reservation now for our Day Camp Beach Party on Tuesday June 9th. Your pets can bask in the sun and swim in the pools with their best friends and camp counselors. Every camper who attends will be sent home with a Beach Party photo.

Morning Walks
As a courtesy to our drivers, we would like to ask that all owners please walk their pup and let he/she “relieve” themselves before getting on the AFD daycare bus in the morning. This will eliminate the time the driver needs to spend cleaning the van while en route and will ensure that the dogs make it to the facility in a timely manner. It will also create a healthier environment for the dogs as well. Please call the center with any questions regarding this matter.

Fourth of July Holiday is Coming!
Planning on getting away for the weekend? Give us a call to book your holiday reservation before our boarding room fills up!

Vaccination Requirements
As always, AFD requires that all boarding and daycare dogs be up to date on their vaccinations. As a courtesy, we will call boarding clients one day prior to their boarding reservation to remind them if their pet’s vaccinations are expired. AFD has the right to refuse service to clients who do not have the appropriate paperwork for their pet. All dogs must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordatella (K-9 cough). There is no “grace period” for expired vaccinations.

AFD Open House
Come visit AFD on June 13th (12pm to 4pm) for their open house and Dog Day Festival. There will be free doggie nail trims, grooming and training advice, games, and a chance to adopt a new Best Friend from local dog shelters. Know a lonely dog? Refer a friend to our open house so they can learn more about our boarding and daycare services.

Daycare Dog of the Week!

This week we have 2 featured daycare dogs. Meet Bjork and Maya. This brother/sister duo keeps all the other dogs drooling with their dashing good looks. Don't hate them because their beautiful! These two are simply irresistible. These two Chow's love to snuggle up with the staff and spend time with the other pups on the yard. They also treat themselves to a spa day here and there with AFD's groomer to keep up their lovely appearance. Smile! These two love posing for photos!
