Our Story
Our journey began with our dog, Puck, who struggled with behavioral challenges. Living in a crowded neighborhood with small yards and constant barking from nearby dogs only worsened his situation. As the days passed, Puck became increasingly anxious and frustrated by the noise and the lack of space to run and play. We could see that the busyness of neighborhood life was taking a toll on him, and we knew we needed a change.
So we did it. We sold our brand-new, custom-built home for a 3-acre fixer-upper in a small farming town.
Eight years later, Country Road Canines is built on that same commitment to providing dogs with the space, structure, and comfort they need to thrive. Now, Puck enjoys a peaceful, enriching environment, and we’ve dedicated our 3-acre property to giving other dogs the same experience.
At Country Road Canines, we’ve created a home away from home—where every dog is treated with the same care, attention, and understanding as our own.
This is our Story.
This is Country Road Canines.
