I could not find any kennels, friends or neighbors to give my animals the level of care I felt they deserved while I went away. Guilt would stricken me every time. Thinking about their sad faces looking out of their locked up cages. Ugggg!<\/p>\n<p>I searched high and low for a place that had an owner and staff to care enough about &#8220;my kids&#8221;. I could not find anything that met my expectations. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and opened The Furshire.<\/p>\n<p>When you leave your pet with us &#8211; it&#8217;s the behind the scene care you do not see.<\/p>\n<p>1) <strong>ATTENTION<\/strong> The snuggling, hugging, one-on-one time your pet receives is crazy awesome and best of all you do not have to pay extra.<\/p>\n<p>2) <strong>FREEDOM<\/strong> Each day your pets get to run free inside and outside until they want to stop and rest. They are free to play instead of being locked in a room all day long.<\/p>\n<p>3) <strong>FUN!<\/strong> For the water loving dogs they get to swim in the big pool or mess around in the splash park. Or for those who do not fancy the water, they can run and play on our 1 acre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I have resided in Arizona for 29 years.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-430\" src=\"https:\/\/thefurshire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/imagejpeg_0_8_staff-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"Janene's dogs\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thefurshire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/imagejpeg_0_8_staff-254x300.jpg 254w, http:\/\/thefurshire.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/imagejpeg_0_8_staff.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><br \/> I have no two legged children of my own but I had many years as a foster mom of 101 wonderful children.

She\u2019s my little rescue mix; she\u2019s part Queensland heeler, Border Collie, and Australian Shepard, so she\u2019s a handful as you might imagine.

Love the fall and foliage! Spent a few years living down south in North Carolina, and made my way to Arizona. What can I say? I love being in beautiful weather! I have 3 dogs. Max, Mallory and Dena. Max is my old sweet love bug who loves napping on the couch and as many treats as he can consume. He is a gentle momma&#8217;s boy who loves being a part of the crowd. Mallory, my 5 year old lab mix is a sweet girl, timid at first but loves her affection. Mallory has had her fair share of life experiences. After Valley Fever, ACL repair\/meniscus tear, and much more she is still a genuine lover. Life doesn&#8217;t get her down! Then, there is my one and only, Dena. She is 7 years young with a love for people! She was rescued from Georgia at 10 months and has been my rock since. We have traveled from Vermont, to North Carolina, Arizona and back a few times. She loves adventure and all the love she can get! I feel very blessed and thankful, that I get to spend my days with your animals and give them all the attention, patience and love they deserve. I have a lot of love to share! I thrive on the fact that everyday is a opportunity to learn something new.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Kitty&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.18.2&#8243; title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; title_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;0em&#8221; body_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;0em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thefurshire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot_20201031-223029-300x298.png\" width=\"261\" height=\"259\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2013 alignleft size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">My name is Kitty, my family moved to Phoenix from Washington state in 2019.
