Alyeska PAWS Resort: Open Soon!

THE DOG RESORT

Alaskan resort-style accommodations for your dog!
We call it . . . Alyeska PAWS Resort . . .
only for the truly pampered pooch! But book your dog’s vacation early, as our facility is limited to a precious few!

Located in Girdwood, Alaska (only 30-40 minutes south of Anchorage) – the heart of Alaska’s year-round recreation paradise – Alyeska PAWS Resort offers the ultimate destination for your dog to enjoy a vacation while you are away from home. And you can be certain that your dog will NEVER see the inside of a cage while vacationing with us. Doesn’t your dog deserve it?

Picture it . . . your dog lounging in his/her very own log cabin, completely immaculate and luxuriously equipped to satisfy even the most particular human! The private and spacious cabin is tastefully furnished with a real bed (human size that is!), an endless supply of treats if you so desire, a bucket of safe and fun toys to play with (including any of yours from home, too!), and even a radio customized to your (or your dog’s) listening pleasure. Several times throughout the day (in addition to feeding times), we check in on your dog and give special love and attention (and treats, too!), ensuring he/she is thoroughly enjoying their stay with us.

All this . . . AND . . . your dog enjoys access to the outdoors at his/her leisure all day long in their own large fenced-in yard. If that’s not enough to satisfy even the most pampering pet owner, included in your dog’s stay are three personilized and private 30-minute sessionsof outdoor activity (morning, noon and evening). This time is 100% about your dog, and you choose what we do - a 30-minute leash walk, a 30-minute snuggle session, or a 30-minute playtime off leash in our large fenced-in exercise yard.

In addition, and most importantly, we live on the premises and utilize security cameras which enable us to be certain your dog is safe and secure at all times while in our care.

COME VISIT US
We strongly encourage you to come visit us. Make sure that what we say we offer, we really provide. So many empty promises in this day and age!

PET OWNERS PLEASE!! YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SEE WHERE AND KNOW HOW YOUR PET WILL SPEND HIS/HER DAYS WHILE YOU TRAVEL.

We are available throughout the week (BY APPOINTMENT ONLY PLEASE) for you to schedule your facility viewing appointment, and we welcome you to come take a look at who we are and how we do what we do.

And by the way, bring your dog . . . we’d love to meet him/her . . . and it’s a great opportunity for your dog to familiarize himself/herself with the sights, sounds and smells here. That way he/she gets to experience it all without the added stress of knowing you’re going away (the packed suitcases, the tense car ride to drop him/her off before you catch that plane . . . etc.). Doggies are so smart and sometimes quite sensitive, too!

While you’re here, enjoy the day in GIRDWOOD (if you have time) . . . summer hiking and winter skiing . . . you can’t beat it.

HOW IT WORKS
We require a completed and signed Boarding Service Contract from each pet owner prior to making a reservation. This allows us the opportunity to call your veterinarian to verify your dog is current on all his/her vaccinations required for admission (Rabies, Distemper Combo, Bordatella). Your dog must be current on all three of these vaccines. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Check-in is available from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday. Check-out is available from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Noon) Monday – Saturday. No check-ins or check-outs are available on the following holidays: New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Because our facility and staff is limited and we want to give each pet the very best personalized care, we require all check-ins and check-outs to be scheduled as appointments. And we appreciate your flexibility and understanding in this matter.

WHAT TO BRING
Because we believe it is very important for your pet to remain on the exact same diet he/she receives at home, we do not supply food as part of our boarding services. Please be sure to bring your dog’s food with you, and make sure there is more than enough to feed him/her during the entire stay. Also, bring your dog’s vitamins and/or any medications you wish us to administer while in our care. Additional fees will be incurred should we run out of any food, vitamins and/or medications required for your dog during his/her stay with us.

You are welcome to bring any item from home that you feel will aid in the comfort, security and well-being of your dog while staying here. Examples include (but are not necessarily limited to) treats, toys, blankets, bedding, cleaned food/water dishes, brushes, crate or kennel (as long as it will fit in the cabin, and if it would assist in comforting your dog in your absence). Please be sure to label all items with your dog’s name. If you have any questions about what you can bring, please ask.

Payment
A completed and signed Boarding Service Contract and deposit in the amount of 50% (percent) of the total boarding invoice is required to secure a reservation. The balance is due at time of check-out.

Cancellation Policy
It is important that your reservation be completely sincere, as there is a large demand for the services we offer here at Alyeska PAWS. THEREFORE, any boarding reservation that is cancelled less than five (5) days prior to check-in date, client forfeits reservation deposit (i.e. 50% percent of entire booked stay).

Admission Requirements
Because Alyeska PAWS desires this Resort to be a place of peace, comfort and safety for all dogs who vacation with us, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will we allow any dogs that possess one or all of the following behaviors at this facility:

• Dogs that are not house trained (i.e. dogs that urinate, defecate,
or are destructive to furnishings when left unattended inside).

• Dogs that have a tendency to bark excessively and/or
uncontrollably.

Our desire is to abide by the Anchorage Municipal Code prohibiting chronic animal noise which means: repeated vocalization by an animal for more than seven (7) consecutive minutes during the daytime noise period (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and more than five (5) consecutive minutes during the nighttime noise period (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.)

• Dogs that are aggressive toward other dogs, people and/or
children.

   • Dogs that are escape artists (i.e. dogs that have attempted to
       and/or continue to attempt to free themselves from leashes,
       collars and/or enclosed areas).

We believe it is important that the dogs entrusted to us receive the ultimate care, and this includes providing a calm, quiet and safe stay. This sort of atmosphere relieves each dog from unnecessary nervousness, anxiety, distraction and stress and frees him/her to relax, have a blast and enjoy all the benefits Alyeska PAWS Resort has to offer!

WE ALL KNOW THE BEHAVIORS OF OUR OWN PETS, AND ALYESKA PAWS THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ADHERENCE TO THIS RESTRICTION.

Alyeska PAWS reserves the right to prohibit admittance (even at the time of check-in) of any dog that shows any of the behaviors discussed above, any dog that shows signs of contagious disease or parasitic infestation, and any dog that has not been currently and properly vaccinated. We also reserve the right to charge additional handling fees for excessively difficult and/or aggressive dogs that require additional time in order that we may deliver proper care.

Emergencies
In the rare case of an emergency, we contact you, your vet, and utilize the local, 24-hour veterinary emergency hospitals.

Upon admission for services, your signature of Boarding Service Contract acknowledges your awareness and acceptance of our policies explained on our website, in our written literature and on our contract. Thank you for your trust in allowing us to care for your pet, a member of your family and of ours.
