Tom Wittkower, Owner
Shady Acres opened our doors November 20th, 2012 hosting 15 dogs for Thanksgiving week.
It looked a little different back then… and you’d be likely to find my kids riding a bike, or chasing a chicken in the driveway as you pulled in.
We’ve grown up in 14 years, but our mission and values remain the same. We are a boarding facility where dogs can run and play with friends in a safe and natural environment with lots of love.
I am thankful for our family of clients who have supported us, trusted us with your four legged family members, and helped us bring our dream to life. You are the reason we are here today.
Thank you all for 14 wonderful years!
