Join the pack

New to AFTW?

Want your pup to join the pack? Fill out the questionnaire and we'll email you either way. Heads up: we get a lot more requests than we have room for, and we keep our playgroups small and closely matched on purpose — so as much as we'd love to, we can't take every dog. If it's a no, please don't take it personally. It's almost always about space, not your dog.

Plan ahead

It usually takes 1–2 months to go from applying to a first day — first we review your application, then you come in for a Meet and Greet on one of our monthly intro days. If you need care in the next week or two, we probably can't make it work in time. We're also set up for pups who'll be with us regularly, so one-time visits usually aren't a fit.

Some things to note:

• 01If your dog shows aggression or has hurt another dog
• 02Excessively barks
• 03Excessively marks with other dogs around

It's probably not the best fit for us — we aim to create a space that's fun and safe for dogs and staff alike

Meet and Greets for new clients are held once a month. We read every form ourselves and email you either way — it can take a few weeks. If we have the room and your pup is a good match, we'll invite you to the next available meet and greet.

Filling out the form does not guarantee a spot — but you will always hear back from us, and we'll tell you why
