Meet Pepper!



Meet Pepper!  Pepper has been a foster at Fenway Bark for the past few weeks.  She came to us incredibly shy and we have worked with her to build her confidence and her social skills.  We feel Pepper is ready to go to her forever home now.  If you are interested in adopting Pepper, please contact Great Dog Rescue of New England.  Although Pepper would probably be OK in a home as the only dog, she enjoys the company of other dogs so much that we feel the best fit would be a home with another dog.

Meet Marilyn!



Meet Marilyn!  Marilyn will be fostered at Fenway Bark in the upcoming weeks after she is spayed.  If you are interested in adopting Marilyn, please contact Great Dog Rescue of New England!

Meet Bebe!




Meet Bebe!  She will be one of our new foster dogs from Great Dog Rescue of New England.  Bebe will be arriving in the coming week and we look forward to helping her find her forever home.  If you are interested in adopting Bebe, please contact Great Dog Rescue of New England.

Our One Year Anniversary


It is hard to believe that we are at our one year anniversary of opening our daycare and boarding business!

Opening a small business is not for the faint of heart and opening one in a down economy with a fresh approach to an established industry may have made us certifiably loco.  That said, the business model, our approach and Fenway Bark's services have clearly resonated with pet families throughout New England.  We continue to grow through the kind recommendations of you, our satisfied customers.

Thank you!

In the first year, Fenway Bark:

- has served more than 1200 four legged customers
- has provided services for customers stretching from California to Florida to many of our closest neighbors who live just a block or two away or work in the same building
- was recognized as one of the top daycare facilities in the United States by Fido Friendly magazine in July 2011, and one of the top 50 dog destinations in the World
- appeared on Chronicle, Fox TV, and Dr. Jake's segment on NECN
- was featured in Stuff, London Times, Boston Globe, and more
- helped place over a dozen homeless dogs for Great Dog Rescue of New England
- created 14 jobs in the South Boston market
- welcomed The Pawsitive Dog, Dawgma Gallery, and Zen Animal Massage into the Fenway Bark to enhance our portfolio of services

And although we faced some difficult challenges in the first year, many of which felt like they were played out in, well, dog years, it was the customers who embraced the business so strongly, our family and friends, and our talented employee team that was the wind under our wings to keep us going, even through the most difficult times.  No doubt the joy of caring for your wonderful pets also fueled our resolve.

Thank you for your support and your continued business.

We love our customers.  Our anniversary is your anniversary!
