OUR STORY

More than a business.

A lifetime devoted to dogs.

For more than 26 years, caring for dogs has been at the heart of what we do.

C.F. Pawsituve Packleader was built around a simple belief that every dog deserved to be known as an individual. Their personality, comfort level, friendships, challenges and needs all matter.

What began as a passion for helping dogs has grown into a team dedicated to providing daycare, sleepovers and professional training in an environment where dogs can play, learn, explore and feel at home.

We aren't just here to care for your dog- 

were here to be a part if your team.

Because raising a great dog shouldn't be something you have to do alone!

Whether you need help raising a puppy, working through behavior challenges, giving your doh an active and enriching daycare experience, or finding a place you trust for a sleepover, our goal is to support both you and your dog.

What sets us apart

1. Our rural location. We are not in the city so the dogs are surrounded by trees, grass and lots of smells!

2. Our experience. Between my managers and myself we have over 50 years combined of working and caring for dogs. This does not include the rest of my staff who have all been with me for an extended period of time. For all of us at C.F. this is not just a job but our passion.

3. Small playgroups with 6 different inside areas as well as 5 outside areas to fit everyone's individual need and desires.

4. Cage free sleeping arrangements. We have kennels for those who prefer this sleeping arrangement but we also offer sleepovers in our rooms at no extra cost.

5. Once you become a Client you are always part of our family. This means we are always here to help and will always have room for your pup.

6. We are privately owned. There is no one telling us that we cannot make the best decisions for each individual pup because it is against the franchise agreement.

7. But the biggest thing that sets us apart is our walks. We offer three levels of walks either in our fields for our senior pups or in the 100 acres of woods adjacent to kennel. The walks last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours again depending on ability all for no extra fee.

We are also the local shelter for the towns of Cumberland, Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, and Falmouth. We work closely with the ACOs and town officials to help reunite found dogs with their families.

 

-Dogs only-

If you have found or lost a cat, please reach out to HART  in West Cumberland.
