But he seems a bit.... Down

Woodrock Animal Rescue is funded predominantly by Woodrock Kennels. Our 5 star boarding facilities provide a home away from home for your precious pooch.

Being in the industry for so many years, we are very very acclimated to the various temperaments that kennel dogs have. This variety of personalities makes our furry friends all the nicer to have around. What is rather humorous is the preconceived idea about what the owner thinks the dog will "be like" whilst they are away.

More often then not the downtrodden puppy eyed dog who looks longingly at their owner departing is the dog with the real attitude of "when the cat's away the  mouse will play" and we are always thrilled to see our boarders  acting as our own dogs- out there  and care free once they are settled.

Often we get potential boarder owners who come to survey our retreat before boarding their canine friends and we are only too happy to have them but although impressed many owners feel immense anxiety wondering how their pooch will adjust! 

Woodrock boarders are treated the same as our dogs up for adoption and we make no apologies for this. All dogs within our care are looked after as our own with the same amount of love, care and attention!




Recently we had a boarder with us for a number of weeks and he was thrilled to partake in the hub of activity viewed from his kennel and the surrounds. The problem only set in once he had go e home with the owner frantically calling. The dog in discussion was lethargic, unmotivated and not interested in food. These are typical withdrawal symptoms from Woodrock!

Dogs who go home usually encounter a type of depression for a few days to acclimate to the normality of their daily lives! For the record animal lover, our dogs are our children and we anthropomorphosize them accordingly, however at the end of the day their animal instinct is up adapt and survive- at Woodrock they do this and more!
