Double Dog Ranch

I really love these guys. They are SO good with our dog who is known to be a bit socially awkward. He’s a loner and prefers to wander around dog parks rather than engage in play with other dogs. But whenever he’s here, with see picture after picture (yes! they post pictures on their website regularly!) of him playing and fetching with other dogs. It’s such a joy to see him happy while we’re gone.
The owners are a lovely couple that turned a horse ranch (I think) into a first class dog boarding facility. They have both indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to play and which they can wander back and forth. The outdoor area is fully fenced with trees for shade, a covered area, a little creek running through, and fresh water flowing for drinking. The indoor area is pretty spacious and great for dogs to romp around. I’ve visited the place myself and the place is always clean and hardly a drop of poop can be seen anywhere. That’s a feat when you’re caring for dogs around the clock!
Biggest downside is that they are located an hour outside of Portland. To help with this, they offer a doggie shuttle that picks up/​drops off at a couple locations in Portland (see website for details) on Mondays and Fridays. The best part of it is that the shuttle is a converted short school bus into a dog specific vehicle complete with doggie seatbelts! It’s absolutely incredible. And the pups seem to love the ride. Definitely cute overload if you’re into dogs.
My dog always come back tired and happy from this place. Their website, although could use an update, has loads of info, online booking requests, and even a calendar to show you their availability. I highly recommend this place for your furry, tail-​wagging friends.
