My name is Sam Laub.  I am a Labrador retriever and will soon be 3 years old. I have been playing at PAWS almost every week since I was at least four months old.  I love playing with my friends in the "big dog room." I also like to peek into the "little dog room" from PAWS lobby when my parents drop me off and pick me up.  My people friends working at PAWS are always so nice to me: they play with me, give me baths, take me for walks, check on me in my private room during the night when I sleep over and always keep me safe.  I hope I can keep coming to PAWS for a long, long time.  Sam Luab

Stories from our Customers  

Paws Pet Resort has been a life saver for us!  Our two very busy Whippets do not do well on their own for more than a few hours.  By taking them to Paws, they not only get a chance to expend that energy but the opportunity to socialize in a well-managed group play situation.  The staff is terrific and accommodates any special needs (like medicine or diet), treating our dogs as part of their family. Then, on the few occasions we need to be away from home without our "boys" we wouldn't consider leaving them anywhere else.  Since they are already very comfortable and love it at Paws, the time apart is not as stressful.  It's harder on us than on them - so we can always check in for a "fix" on the web cam.  No kennels, just nice large glass rooms with a person on staff 24/7 gives us a sense of confidence. There is simply no other place like it in the local area!   -Karen Garza

“For the last 3 months I have had to kennel Bella & Jasmine due to a slab leak in my home. Paws have put up with me during my tearful telephone conversations about being separated from my pups.  The owner, Chris, is hands on and diligent about every aspect of the care at the two locations. She calls me regularly to advise me of their condition and spirit. I see them regularly. They play all day long with other dogs and sleep well at night together in their room.  They also have a romping pool for water loving dogs, which of course Bella loves!  They have taken amazing care of the pups and treated them like their own.  I cannot imagine what I would have done if I would not have had their partnership.  Other kennels have failed my pups on short weekend stays, so I can’t imagine what it would be like to not have PAWS on my team.”             Kris, Bella & Jasmine

Paws Training

Training for your pup is best decision you can make for the life of your dog. Lack of training and proper socialization with other animals and humans are the main reasons that dogs end up in shelters. Paws training classes provide the critical training and education so important in enhancing your relationship with your pup. We offer classes in puppy socialization, basic and advanced obedience. Our trainers specialize in providing pet parents with tools to fix problem behaviors. We use only positive training methods. Come see the Paws Training Difference. See our training page for class schedules and fees.
