Our story
This property was purchased in December 2001 by Debbie Morgan.
Before it became Country Critters, it was a dog boarding kennel named Dunmovin. This old kennel operated from the late '60's to the early '90's. At that time, the current owners passed away and the surviving children closed the operation. It remained closed till July 2004 when after extensive renovations, a new look, new name and new owner, it re-opened it's doors as Country Critters Boarding & Training Facility.
Below are pictures of the kennel when I first bought this property. It was in shambles and severely overgrown with vegetation.
I am grateful that I have a wonderful imagination and was able to see the potential in this poorly kept building.
The second set of pictures is the building we occupy today.
Country Critters Boarding & Training Facility is continuing to grow...with the newest feature of grooming to our services.
Renovations
Before Renovations

This is before renovations and the parking lot
Before renovations, the runs were exposed to all types of weather.
The runs had only 1 foot of block wall and 5 feet of chain link fence to separate the dogs.
Everything was very overgrown
Where the bushes are is where we added on our cat room
Where the tree and weeds are is where we expanded to put our grooming area.

Needed a crane to put on the new roof.
