Summer has settled in beautifully at Dog Heaven, and with it comes sunshine, long walks, and new reasons to smile. It’s a season full of movement joyful paws in the dirt, sleepy afternoons in the shade, and moments that remind us just how lucky we are to share this land with such soulful animals.
A Place to Dream and Build
We’re not just growing gardens and grooming trails. We’re building a space that feels sacred for both dogs and the humans who love them. This summer, we’ve been making quiet progress on the property, and we’re excited to share this special sneak peek to you.
Summer Care Tips for Your Pups
This time of year brings its own magic and its own set of needs. To help your furry friend stay healthy in the heat:
- Offer plenty of clean, cool water throughout the day.
- Keep walks to early mornings or evenings to avoid the hottest hours.
- Protect paws from hot pavement and limit intense exercise.
- Provide shaded areas and consider cooling mats for added comfort.
- Never leave your dog in a car even for a minute.
Life at the Sanctuary
Elsa the wolf-dog is thriving in the summer sunshine, lounging in her favorite perch with a watchful eye over her domain. Coco and Melissa are enjoying their daily walks and snuggles. Melissa’s presence has become a grounding force here on the land.
We also welcomed our first vacation pup, who spent the week basking in mountain walks, daily pup cups, and all the love a dog could ask for.
Meanwhile, the horses are soaking up their roles as pasture royalty, and two new kitties from West Virginia have joined the crew bringing even more softness and sweetness to our sanctuary.
