This is absolutely the worst, most poorly run business I have ever had the displeasure of coming into contact with and no one could pay me enough money to leave my dog at this place.\r
\r
This ""family owned and operated"" business is far from respectable. The owner and her family do not even live in Oregon, so the website and all of their information is extremely misleading.\r
\r
Make sure to read the fine print on the paperwork you sign, because you are releasing Green Acres from any responsibility whatsoever when an incident happens and TRUST ME, incidents happen frequently here. Dog fights, illnesses, escapes are a regular thing here. You are also agreeing to foot the bill on any medical expenses incurred and to pay the final boarding bill NO MATTER WHAT or your dog will be held at the kennel, incurring more boarding charges until you pay. There is no getting around it. Don't expect to be able to talk to the owner about any issues because she will avoid you like the plague while instructing the staff to get your money no matter what.\r
\r
Your dog might be boarded in an area where it won't have access to a place to eliminate overnight (from 4pm when they are put up for the night until 7:30 am when they are let out.) When they give you the tour, they tell you that your dog will be boarded in the kennel building with access to an outdoor, concrete area to eliminate in, but on busy weekends and holidays, they just cram the dogs into makeshift chain link ""kennels"" in the office building with nothing but rusty wires and fencing separating them from other aggressive dogs. (They have no behavioral assessment, so allow any dogs in regardless of their temperament... one of the many reasons why dog fights happen frequently.) \r
\r
They have no cap of the amount of dogs they allow to attend and only have a few staff members to supervise the dogs. So expect your dog to be milling around with 30-40 (sometimes far more) unpredictable dogs with little to no supervision. When they are supervised, the go-to method of behavioral corrections include yelling, spraying in the face with water hoses and spray bottles and extended ""time-outs.""\r
\r
Oh yeah, and that ""5 acre field with spring fed ponds"" is also the dumping ground for all the feces that is removed from the property. So you can count on that spring fed pond being a petri dish full of diseases from the run off.\r
\r
Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for dog boarding. This place looks nice at first glance because of the misleading information and pictures on the website and because of the lies you are told when you take a tour, but honestly this place needs to be shut down. Most of the good reviews you read here are from regular customers who got a free day of daycare because they brought in a printed copy of their positive yelp or google review. What a joke.
