JOIN THE HOMESTEAD FAMILY

THE HOMESTEAD IS CURRENTLY FULL

Every dog’s journey at The Homestead begins with a Meet & Greet—a relaxed visit where you and your dog can explore our space while we get to know your dog as an individual. These sessions are intentionally calm and unhurried so we can thoughtfully evaluate whether our environment suits your dog and if your dog is ready for our group setting.

We welcome all applications and value open, honest conversations with owners. Every dog brings their own personality and history, and sharing those details helps us support the safety and wellbeing of every dog in our care. Sometimes, our environment is not the right fit for dogs with a history of aggression, significant stress or reactivity in group settings, or who require specialized behavioural support beyond our scope of care.

Our Meet & Greet helps us protect the safe, enriching experience our dogs enjoy while warmly welcoming new members into our Homestead family.

Please review our Terms & Conditions for behaviour requirements.

Vaccine & Health Requirements

For everyone’s safety, all dogs must meet our vaccine and health requirements, including the adequate time for vaccines to take effect. These are described in our Terms & Conditions and include:

Vaccines: Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza)
Prevention: Leptospirosis, flea and tick, regular deworming
Spay/Neuter: Dogs over 12 months must be spayed or neutered. If your dog is exempt, please email us to discuss further.
