Home Away From Home…read more.... Love Dogs Camp has made a big difference with our dog, Pugsley, since we moved to the area 6 years ago. He was rescued from the streets of San Jose at the age of 1. Before moving to Nipomo, we researched and visited many places offering daycare and boarding, but Carolyn at Love Dogs Camp gave us the most confidence. It offers Pugsley a great environment with no kennels, freedom to roam on 5 acres and the ability to socialize with both big and small dogs. Carolyn has a wonderful trainer - Brett - who's very knowledgeable about dog behavior and nutrition and helped Pugsley become less fearful of other dogs. Supervision is a priority and he is never left alone. Carolyn does a great job vetting new dogs and their owners to ensure compatibility with her existing clientele. She also provides healthy home cooked meals for the dogs at least once a day. Whether it's for just a day or a couple of weeks for vacation, we have no concern bringing Pugsley to Love Dogs Camp. It's his home away from home.

It took me months of being ignored or rejected by rescues to back this puppy up until Shiloh's offered to take over when I explained to them the situation. They've been nothing but amazing. They have taken care of this dog's training and an umbilical hernia he had that needed surgery and all remotely from San Luis Obispo while we are in LA. Now they're doing their best to find him a forever home but I will always continue to support them with or without a foster dog because I could see how much time and effort they put into every dog. I am grateful for them and to have found them because I now have a rescue to support with clear conscience knowing everything I give will go exactly where it is supposed to.

This place is incredible. I want to especially give a special shout out and thanks to Annette who…read moregreeted us during a cat intake emergency last Friday at the front desk, she has the most gentle spirit and voice and really talked me through a traumatic situation. She also helped me save the lives of 3 street cats I had brought in who were in desperate need of placement and attention. She facilitated all of this like a complete champ and pro. This woman and place are true advocates for animals and their rights and wellness. I would trust this place with any poor, abandoned animal I've come across... the animal would be lucky to land here in the care of SLO animal services. I can't thank this team enough for their help with these sweet cats and for giving them a chance at a real shot at life. The intake was seamless and easy on the cats, thanks to Annette and just wanted to personally say thank you to her and the staff here. You're making a major difference. Thank you

I never thought I'd write a review for an animal shelter, but the brand new center in San Luis…read moreObispo is incredible. There are state of the art kennels for all kinds of animals there at the facility. We recently adopted a cat and it was awesome playing in one of the two "cat rooms." There are no odors, like their last building, everything is brand new and situated in a way that puts less stress on the animals. We saw two cats we loved, could only keep one, so we paid for the adoption fees so someone could come in and pick her up. They'll tell you if an animal has had it's fees waived. We walked outside and although the dogs were loud and a little stressed, the kennels were situated so we could observe from a distance. There was a tortoise there when we visited, very tempted to adopt. It's been months with Mary and couldn't be happier. A

Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently. This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable. All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard. The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon
