Cassidy was awesome! our pups adjusted quickly to us being away and she treated them like they were her own. We are so happy that we picked the right home and people to care for our fur babies!

Anna was amazing! We felt at ease leaving our pup with her from the moment we met her. She cared for our fur baby as if she was her own. She gave her extra cuddles to help ease her anxiety. She also sent daily updates, pictures, or videos while we were away which always put a smile on our faces seeing our girl. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!

Dream Spay 5K
This action-packed, pet-friendly event will take place less than 20 miles from Southbend in Niles, Michigan and will benefit the Spay Neuter Assistance Program of Michigan and Dream Paws Animal Rescue's Medical Fund. Admission is $20.00. Leash up your favorite canine pal and join hundreds of fellow animals lovers for a 5K walk/run at Park Niles. After the race, the fun really gets started! Check out the dog rally, agility and basic dog training demonstrations, get your furry buddy some new dog-cessories at the vendor's booths or grab a yummy treat for two! This day is bound to be PAWSitively PAWsome!36
Round Barn Winery
Wine AND canines? Sounds perfect! The beautiful Baroda Tasting Room & Estate in nearby Baroda, Michigan is pet-friendly outside the main building, where you can sit and relax while sipping some wonderful wine selections (sorry Fido, no wine for you!) If you are planning on coming with people and NOT your dog (it's okay, we won't judge you) scheduled wine tasting takes place in the round barn which was built by Amish craftsman and moved from Indiana in 1912.24
Reindog Parade
HO HO HO! Tis the season so grab your pup and get in the holiday spirit! The Southbend Animal Care and Control host the holiday Reindog Parade - and Santa Paws is sure to make an appearance! Pet parents and their furry babies are encouraged to dress up in their most festive attire, so dig out those Santa hats and ugly Christmas sweaters! Prizes will be awarded for the Best Adult, Best Puppy, Best Dog Pack and Best Dog and Owner costumes - hot diggity dog! All proceeds from dog and float registrations will go to participating shelters and rescues in the area.12
Rum Village Park
Feeling in the mood for a hike? Over 160 acres of scenic fun awaits you and your sweet doggies! Since the park is home to deer, foxes, reptiles, birds and amphibians, furry friends must stay on their leash as you walk through the park for their own safety. Be sure to pick up after your fur-kids to keep the park clean! It's also a good idea to share the trail with your fellow dog-walking pet parents. The park has over three miles of winding hiking trails, a nature center, disc golf, mountain bike trails and pavilions. Keep yourself and Fido hydrated and please don't pick the wildflowers or plants! Fresh air, exercise and your best furry pal - what a great way to spend the day!
Dog Days of Summer
As a part of South Bend's "First Fridays" program, September is the month devoted to doggos! You are invited to bring your good boy or girl out for a night on the town. Event-goers can enjoy fine fare on one of the many pet-friendly patios set up for the occasion. A plethora of doggy-themed vendors are present, so be sure to check out all the goods! There will be a fashion show for the pretty pooches, an ugly dog contest for the homely mutts and an agility demonstration for the super-star canines. To top it all off, you and your furbaby can go for a ride in a horse-drawn wagon!
