Welcome to Run Amuck Farm!

Dogs love other dogs.

NOTE: BIG NEWS!  We are the first facility in the county to acquire a GPS tracking  collar for your dog.  We have not had a dog leave the property, but we could  imagine nothing worse.

The collars are costly, but what price could we ever put on our beloved pets.

For an additional charge we will make this technology avaiable by request.  By September 2012 all dogs  who could be a run away type will be outfitted with a GPS device if the devices prove reliable and do not cause  any problems with the dogs necks.

THANK YOU to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, The San Jose Mercury and the Monterey Herald  for their enthusiastic support of what we do here at Run Amuck. If you want to read the article,  type in run Amuck in any of their search spaces.

It’s a dog Bed and Breakfast….at the base of Mt Madonna on the coast side.  Lovely climate in Corralitos/Watsonville. 

Here at Run Amuck Farm we love dogs. Your dog will live with us as one of our own. They will get to hang out, roll on the lawn, splash in the water, and most of all, play with other well socialized dogs. Each dog is given lots of affection and belly rubs. I t’s like they get to go to Grandma’s farm.

We like it as much as they do!

We are fortunate  to have found Adrienne, Marianna and Tracy  to join our team. Dogs are not left unattended.

Dogs sleep in the house and choose a spot of their liking. No dog who is housebroken is forced to sleep in a crate. They can crate if they prefer, but it’s up to the dog. Crates can offer a space to relax and retreat. All dogs are offered a crate if they choose. It’s surprising to how many dogs go to their crates on their own from time to time. It’s a natural behavior to want their own space.

We feed your food, so there is not digestive problems caused by a food switch. We can also feed Natural Balance or Taste of the wild, as that is what we feed out dogs. Our food is 3 three dollars extra per day.

Feed time is 8:30 am  and 4:30 pm. Summer schedule  We give “bone” breaks for each dog with the owners permission. Cow hocks and bully stix are our bone offerings.

Medications are given free of charge.

Older dogs are given special care  and protection and usually love to hang out on our large deck.

We shoot pics of your dogs and email then to you while you are away. The we post them on our website for you to enjoy  and share.

Rates:

*Boarding  is $40 per day.   Dogs over 100 lbs are 50 per day.   Two dogs from the same household  are a lower per day rate.    Please ask.      If you have a hardship and cannot afford our rates, talk to us about it. We occasionaly do trades andPB.

GPS collars are available at  a $10 per day charge.

All referrals are rewarded with a free day of care (40 dollar value)  to say thank you. Nothing speaks better of our care than your recommendation to friends.

OTHER STUFF: ****If your dog has not been here , then we would like the opportunity  to make your dog’s transition to Run Amuck  go smoothly.  ****We have found that if we pick up the dog and bring him to the farm, they bond with us much quicker and have less worry about “losing” their owner.   This is not necessary for all dogs, but works well with the shy or wary type.

Drop off and pick up is per arrangement. Please. We are busy with the dogs during the day. Visits are by appointment only. Of course visits are welcome, just call. 831-724-6780

We are working out of our home, so  we ask that you understand that a late pick-up  disrupts the schedule.  Any dog picked up before 10:30 am is not charged for that day  .Please try to schedule your pick-up before 5 PM. or make arrangements with us if you plan to be late.

We understand life is unpredictable. There is no reservation fee or cancellation penalty. We do fill up and hate to have to say no .

Please let us know if your dog has potty problems in the house. We also need to know if there is any destructive behaviors and aggressive  tendencies. No dog is forced to crate, but if your dog is a pup and is destructive in the house, we will not allow  your pup to return until he/she learns to crate.  We have lost too many shoes,remotes, hats,  etc to  loose chewing pups …we need to sleep too…We also do not allow dogs who have accidents in the house to sleep uncrated…We have a lovely clean home and try hard to keep it that way.

We can help you dog learn to socialize and play with other dogs. Your unsocialized dog will not be allowed to mingle freely until we are assured that they will not hurt another guest.

We have our own dogs who can teach your dog to play.

If your dog is anxious, we may be able to help with that and other training issues. Training is available at additional cost. Grooming also.

All clients will be asked to sign a liability waiver and a relocation agreement.

All dogs MUST be spayed and neutered unless by mutual agreement.

VACCINATIONS must be up to date. RABIES, Bordatella and DHPP.  Proof of Vacinations are required and no dog will be boarded without proof on file.

We are fully insured  and committed to safety.
