Although Dogs For Better Lives only opened up its Falmouth office this year, the nonprofit organization was originally founded in 1977. The organization’s mission is to professionally train dogs to help people and enhance lives while maintaining a lifelong commitment to all dogs. Since its inception, it has trained and placed more than 1,600 dogs with people in need of assistance. 

Supervised by its caring staff members, Dogs For Better Lives daycare and boarding offers a happy and beneficial alternative to leaving your pet home alone. Dogs For Better Lives offers doggie daycare and boarding in their luxury or VIP doggie suites. The tempered-glass enclosures allow dogs to enjoy the company of their fellow canines while keeping all pets safe and secure. Dogs For Better Lives even offers live doggie cams, which allow owners to check in on their dog anytime, from anywhere. 

With 1,200 square feet of indoor space and 3,500 square feet outdoor play areas, your dog will never be bored while boarding here. Play groups are established on evaluation to ensure that your dog has some furry playmate during their stay, should that be the best fit. 

Dogs For Better Lives prides itself on providing your dog with the best care on the Upper Cape, not just for the benefit of your dog but for you as well. At Dogs For Better Lives, all decisions are rooted in doing what is best for your dog’s physical, emotional and mental well-being. 

At the organization’s campus in Falmouth, they offer a puppy raiser program and assistance dog training in addition to doggie daycare and boarding.
