JOIN THE HOMESTEAD FAMILY

 

Every dog’s journey at The Homestead begins with a Meet & Greet. This relaxed visit gives you and your dog time to explore our space and allows us to get to know your dog as an individual. These sessions are intentionally calm and unhurried so we can thoughtfully determine whether our environment is the right fit, now and as your dog grows.

​

We welcome applications from all dogs and value open, honest conversations. Every dog brings their own personality and history, and sharing those details helps us care for them well. While our setting isn’t the right fit for every dog — and that’s okay — the 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.
