Here your pet will receive individual care and attention provided by an
experienced staff of full-time professionals. Sue and her husband, Bill,
are graduates of the ABKA Ken-Tech Training Program. Both have been
trained in Pet CPR and First Aid given by the Red Cross. The Kennel
Staff and Associate Groomers have been trained locally.
For Fours Acres Lodge provides a secure, estate-like setting on the 18
acres that surround the office, canine guest house and the owners’
residence. The Lodge is air conditioned and/or heated and features
individual units for each beloved pet.
Since you're considering giving For Fours Acres Lodge the opportunity to
serve you, you should know a few more things about the operations.
The office is open by appointment (normally between 8:00AM and
6:00PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 8:00AM and
12:00PM on Saturday.) The office is closed on Wednesday and Sunday.
Your inspection is invited prior to boarding your pet or making a
grooming appointment, but please call ahead for an appointment.
The guests are checked for parasites at the time of arrival. If any are
detected, the pet must be bathed prior to entering its accommodations.
There is a modest charge for this bath, if it's needed. For pets that are
staying four or more days, they are given a complimentary bath prior to
their scheduled check-out time. We are also happy to schedule their
regular grooming to be done while they are boarding. They can return
home relaxed, refreshed, and beautiful.
All incoming pets for boarding or grooming must be current on their
vaccinations. A copy of their Rabies Certificate and proof of current
Distemper and Bordetella vaccines must be provided prior to check-in.
While all pets are given tender loving care, a few may require special
attention. A limited amount of facilities are available for providing
"house-care". If you feel you pet might be a candidate for this level of
care, please discuss it with the staff.
Should your pet require veterinary care during its stay, the staff will
contact your personal veterinarian whenever possible. If for some
reason he/she is not available, they will contact whoever "covers" or an
emergency clinic.
Payment for services is expected at the time those services are
provided. Personal checks, traveler's checks, and cash are accepted.

Boarding
A Pet Living Room is available for
"special pets" under 20 pounds.
Living Room comfort is provided
for pets that require a more
home-like setting. Soap operas
are featured each day. If you feel
your pet would benefit from
staying in the Living Room, please
let us know.
Only the finest diets are served to your pet during its stay. Custom
diets will be prepared if required. Each dog is exercised daily and
additional private or playtime is available at a modest additional charge.
Cats are provided with "exercise opportunities." We also try to keep
guests entertained with our collection of dogs, cats, monkey, birds, and
resident wildlife.
So if you are going away for a day, week, or even months, please
consider providing your pet with a home away from home with people
who really care. FOR FOURS ACRES LODGE.

full grooming facilities,
accommodates a penthouse
