My dog really loves being at fetch! I was really nervous about leaving him , but once I saw how much he enjoyed being there with the other dogs, I felt better.

Tails of Hawaii

Our family, including our doggie Lehua loves Tails. The staff treats our dog like it’s their own. Tails is accommodating to last-minute requests, if they have the capacity. We have done daycare with them and boarding. Lehua is always so happy and a bit exhausted when we pick her up. The exhaustion is a good thing,… Read full review

I can't say enough wonderful things about Furever Friends!
