Each dog or family pair has all day access to an indoor climate controlled room with an outdoor patio/run.  They are closed indoors at night for quiet.  Weather permitting, we take them out to the fields to run and potty, at least twice daily.  We do NOT have an indoor play area, as such pups may get dirty here.
​
​A Typical Day:

• potty runs to the field
• private meal/meds for all in their runs & settle for an hour to digest
• play time & potty shifts
• back to their runs for afternoon naps
• private snacks/meds in their runs
• potty shifts until bedtime/dark
• pups tucked inside for a quiet night

Due to the frequent neglect of Heartworm prevention, we now require documentation on your dogs' Last Negative HW Test + proof of recent HW prevention purchases.  We apologize for the inconvenience but as a small facility that works hard to keep your dogs healthy, we find this to be a vital part of their regimen.  Please see the site below for a thorough description of these health problems to avoid:

Essential Information & Requirements

---

Appointments?  We require estimated Check In / Out times for our scheduling purposes.  We're not available every moment of every day - please tell us if your time will be changing.  We provide a cell # for updates on your pet while you're away and to let us know if your travel is delayed.

​Climbers/RunAways/Jumpers?  Please keep dogs on a short leash in the parking area/office.  Please look in before you enter and Wait on the porch if there are other dogs being processed inside.  Our fences are 5-6ft foot high... some are post/chicken wire, some privacy/plank, and others are 6 foot chain link.  If you know your dog has ever jumped or climbed a fence please point this out to us so we can take extra precautions.  We can keep them on a regular leash or a long line.​  ABCD&G's = Always Be Closing Doors & Gates Securely behind you... Every Time you Walk In! 

Dog food?  Bring their own dry food in large ziplocks with their scooper.  If you forget food we can pick up local brands for a charge of $5 plus cost.  Bring an appropriate amount in a gallon bags or a large Tupperware.  Gallon bags hold at least 14 cups of dry food.  If your dog is staying long term and needs a large quantity, please bring/purchase a large dog bin to store it in.  We battle bugs and critters coming inside with kibble around for 20 dogs!

Emergency?  a couple of Veterinarians are less than ten minutes away.  In a non-emergency situation we attempt to utilize your personal vet to save you on fees, when our schedule allows for extra travel time.  After hours we use Acredale Vet in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach.  Their prices are more reasonable than an emergency vet because they offer 24 hour service for a membership fee, which is more cost effective.

Payment?  We take all breeds: cash, check, credit cards, PayPal or Zelle to​ ChalQuest@gmail.com.  Due at Check Out if your reservation is less than 2 weeks.  Longer boarding is charged every 2 weeks beginning on Day 1.

​Personnel?  We are a family run business so our schedule is adapted to our family.  We occasionally need to close a few hours each week for appointments and errands.  Please respect our home, schedules & time.  We sacrifice much of our own travel to be here for you, therefore do not feel the need to discount our pricing.  We appreciate your business, and ask that you appreciate our family's labors. 

Safety?  Your pets' safety is our highest priority therefore we do not mix separate family dog groups when they go out to the fields.  This makes it possible for us to take intact animals without concern of fighting or pregnancy.  If you would like socialization for your pup and we have other amenable dogs that we deem are well suited to yours, we will determine which dogs spend time together in small groups.

Vaccines?  Records of vet-administered vaccinations must be uploaded to our system before we finalize a Reservation.  Please do NOT wait to the last minute before your reservation to give us the paperwork.  You will be more stressed as you prepare for your get-away and we hate to turn a dog away for failure to prepare.  Please note, we do not accept pictures of vaccinations bottles you bought and  administer yourself.​
