Why do we have rooms?
We want to make your pets' temporary home as homely as possible. That's why we have furnished the rooms. Depending on the size, the rooms are occupied by between 2 and 4 dogs, so that your pet can sleep in a small, comfortable group. This gives each of our four-legged guests the opportunity to relax.
"At your home - at our home"
Why do we have so many separate runs?
We have found that smaller packs are less stressful for our four-legged friends. The uncastrated males in particular do not always like to play with other uncastrated males ;-)
We divide our guests according to age, gender, size, constitution, neutered or not neutered, compatible or not so compatible, into packs of between 5-10 dogs.
This means that the dogs are kept busy, but not overloaded.
How did the idea for the Wuffotel actually come about?
When I fulfilled my dream of having my own dog in 2001 (an Australian Shepherd male, blue merle - nobody knew him at the time), I immediately started dog sports and training. In 2002, the question arose for the first time as to where to take Sammy when we wanted to go on vacation. I didn't like anything I looked at at the time.
I wanted my dog to be housed in a species-appropriate, clean and not too expensive way, with kind people who would pet him and give him plenty of opportunity to run around outside.
So the idea slowly came to mind: why not open our own animal boarding house? But it wasn't that easy!
For years it was not possible to find a suitable property, either too expensive, too small, too little space, too close neighbors or, or, or...
But in 2011 the time had come: the old NATO barracks in Grevenbroich-Kapellen are ideally located, we don't disturb the neighbors, have plenty of meadows to run around in and, what's more, the possibility of accommodating all the dogs in rooms where the soldiers used to live.
We have renovated and improved a lot and since May 2012 we have been welcoming our four-legged day and boarding guests.
