We are incredibly fortunate to be able to continue to operate and provide support for our team. We have been overwhelmed by your concern, kindness, generosity, and overall support of our small business.
The entire Fur-Get Me Not team is very appreciative and thankful for everything you’ve done to help us get this far. We don’t know how long the pandemic will last, but you have given us all hope about Fur-Get Me Not’s future.
We put together this short video as a tribute to the pets we have cared for recently. It is packed with photos of pets we’ve been lucky enough to care for and we know we wouldn’t be in business without their family’s support.
Thank You! Truly, Thank You.

Help - I just Adopted a New Dog!
Length: 1 hour
Cost: $45
Prerequisite: dogs older than 6 months
Total students: 6
Adopting a new dog is an exciting time for both you, your family, and the dog. But what do you do when you realize your dog doesn’t understand the rules of their new home? Why does it seem your dog doesn’t listen to you or understand what you are asking of them? We’ll talk about learning theory and how you can build a positive relationship by setting your dog up for successful learning. We will discuss a positive model that will help you address these issues as they happen. We will also address common questions such as leaving your dog home alone, dog play dates or daycare vs dog parks, meeting other dogs on leash, and ideas on providing enrichment and mental stimulation which every dog needs.
- Saturday, 4/25 @ 1:00PM

Puppy Socialization & Enrichment Ideas During a Pandemic
Length: 1 hour
Cost: $45
Prerequisite: dogs less than 6 months of age
Total students: 6
You just brought home a puppy and you’ve been told it is extremely important to “socialize” them. But what does that mean and how do you do that during times of social distancing? In this workshop, we’ll discuss positive socialization – what it means, why it’s so important, and give you lots of ideas on how to socialize your puppy when you have to stay home. Hint: Socialization is more than simply interacting with other puppies. In addition, we’ll provide some ideas for puppy enrichment and mental stimulation with emphasis on what you can do while you are at home.
