We have many different size runs. TLC Pet Haven is unique because our large building was designed with large dogs in mind! The runs are 14 feet long by 4 feet wide; plenty of room for the largest of dogs or multiple pet families! Some of these runs can also be split into two 7 foot runs for those who want to be close, but need to be separate.
One of our buildings has indoor/outdoor runs, so the dog can choose which he/she wants to do! These are also good for pets who are a little shy. We do use some crates, but those are usually for those smaller dogs who are a little intimidated by the ’big boys’ or feel more secure in a smaller, quieter area. Big is not always better! We use our judgment and years of experience to best decide who goes where. We consider, size, temperament, and activity level. We ALWAYS do what is best for the dog under the given circumstances that particular day. Example: a Chihuahua, who usually stays, during a slower season, in the same room with everyone else, may be intimidated this weekend by an influx of German Shepherds and Rottweilers! For this particular weekend, he may have a smaller cage in a quieter area.
