Run! Day Camp for Dogs

ABOUT

RUN! DAY CAMP FOR DOGS OFFERS A UNIQUE, OFF-LEASH DOG DAYCARE AND BOARDING PROGRAM.

Run! Day Camp for Dogs is no ordinary dog daycare and dog boarding hotel. Off-leash exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation in a natural, forested, outdoor environment can transform a dog’s life. We work with clients, trainers and veterinarians to help make positive changes in dogs’ energy levels, physical health, socialization skills and state of mind.

We come to you

Schedule to meet a Run! shuttle at one of our convenient Portland area meeting locations/times.
Our customized dog shuttles are one-of-a-kind, climate-controlled, safe, and comfortable. Our vehicles exceed all canine transportation needs for the ultimate ride to dog daycare and dog boarding.
For an additional fee, utilize our door-to-door service. (Please verify that you are inside of our service area.)

The adventure begins

Run! dog shuttle vans operate between Portland and our private, 18 acre farm property (over 784,000 square feet) of fenced forest.
The dogs run off-leash, hiking and running under the constant supervision of the professional handlers.
Every dog gets to exercise at their own pace during their stay at our dog daycare and dog lodging.

At the end of the day

Every dog gets a warm water rinse, a towel dry. Then back to Portland, where dogs are returned happy and tired.
We love having dogs stay with us 24/7. Our bunkhouse lodging is full of comfy couches and dog beds for overnight campers.
Bunkhouse dog boarding reservations fill up fast, so please plan ahead! Learn more about our bunkhouse here.

With an overwhelming desire not to leave them at home while at work, in 1998 she founded Run! Day Camp For Dogs. Her passion for all animals dates back to the farm she lived on as a child in Ashland. Working with dogs every day has also enabled her to pursue her passion for running. The Run! property is also home to almost 30 rescue animals including dogs, cats, sheep, goats and pigs.

HAPPY PETS
The biggest endorsement for Run! comes from our dog Leopold. He now knows which days Run! will come to get him, and he sits with his nose to the window waiting for the van. When the van pulls up to the curb he barks and whines with excitement. He doesn't show that much excitement when we come home...

She was exhausted. All she wanted to do was eat and sleep last night. I had to force her out of bed this morning to go for our morning walk.

HAPPY PETS
If you TRULY want to spoil your dog, forget about the fancy new coat or that expensive new toy... send them out with Erica and Dave! This experience is EXACTLY what your dog is dreaming about when their paws are fluttering in their sleep! They deserve this.
