TESTIMONIALS FROM MEMBERS.
"We have now placed our beloved Pitbull-boxer, Copper, in the trust of 780 for the 4th time... we are over-joyed with the outcome.
"Copper tends to lose weight rapidly at other facilities and when we have picked him up he was agitated.
"Since we've switched to 780, we notice Copper's weight is right where it should be, and he is calm and happy when we retrieve him.
"The crew at 780 are knowledgeable, respectful, thoughtful, and courteous. I also appreciate that I can customize his stay to directly reflect his needs with 780's R.E.S.T. Enrichment options.
"I highly recommend 780 as we travel almost every month and they are always our #1 choice."

COPPER, (October 2018) 5/5
"My wife and I spent a great deal of time looking for the right fit for our 2 small dogs Archie and Reggie.
"We checked out many options on the internet and ended up narrowing it down to 6 for interview.
"It was clear that not all facilities are created equal and it was obvious that 780 was the winner.
"Together with their help we worked out a process that would be best for the small-fries to ease them into lodging them for several days.
"Many thanks to you all for a great job."

"Hello, I have brought my mutt Max here a few times and love how friendly everyone is.

"I will continue to bring max here and am looking into training. What a great facility, big thanks to all the members for all their hard work and dedication.
"You make it easy to board Max."

3. Board Consults.
Potential members investigate peace-of-mind during their $25 board consults (per pet) and booking Sun-Fri with our 100% money-back guarantee.
Consultations allow pet parents & caregivers to meet in person, view amenities, introduce pooches to a new environment, and consider how to reduce stress before short term sheltering or long term lodging begins.
Tours only allow for owners and staff to meet and chat while viewing rover residences, but one vital thing is missing - man's best friend!
780 knows that it's natural to worry when being away, especially when exploring mutt motels for the first time or trying a new pet resort.
After viewing our new animal abode, we suggest leaving your pup for a ½ day, or less, with certified trainers to perform an evaluation.
Return for pick-up discussing your whipper-snapper's time with our team, exercise pens, & other canine guests.
Together, plan how to reach your lodging goals; perhaps another day visit, or 1 overnight stay, and enrichment options to help a lengthy stay.
Each mini-visit, fine tune as necessary, prepping pooch for the best long term stay possible.
780 suggests the initial visit within 2 weeks of the intended lengthy stay with hounds staying home at least 1 night between visits to 780.

5. Canine Enrichment.
Membership ensures peace-of-mind with canine enrichment customized to each unique animal.
Leather couches & TVs are expensive items the industry uses to over-charge guilt-ridden owners; for leaving their Lycans; but don't help. Given a choice, Rover will take meaningful interaction over luxurious lounging.
780's team holds obedience training, pet first-aid, & veterinary technician certification, to grant a higher level of mutt minding.
Options promote physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social opportunities.
When leaving a pup just for the weekend, enrichment options may be considered a bonus for Fido by some pet parents.
But when seeking 1-2 months accommodation, members are certain to reward their pet’s patience with engaging activities.

ENRICHMENT.
Q: Do I have to pay for my dogs to get attention & exercise?

A: Our octagon design allows us to provide outside time frequently without affecting efficiency.
Also, we consider age, breed(s), age, overall sociability, & the weather.

Q: Does 780 have in-floor heating?

Just let us know if they need to be fed separately or any other quirks to ensure cohesiveness during their stay.
