Burley’s Dog Ranch

Do not recommend!
My dog had several accidents in her crate while there which is very unusual for her. This makes me think she was not taken out for walks for several hours. The owner of this ranch dropped my dog off at our veterinary clinic (while we were away on vacation) and claimed she couldn’t handle the mess anymore. She also withheld food from my dog for several days. Additionally, she would not allow us to tour her facility beforehand.
Complete negligence!

Ignorant, discriminatory and prejudice.
We called to inquire about boarding our pit bull/​boxer mix. The woman said they don’t allow pit bulls, even if it’s a mutt, as their insurance doesn’t allow it. That is fine. We understand (even though most reputable boarders in Portland still allow pits after a successful temperment evaluation).
The woman then went on to say pit bulls are not trust worthy (a horrible blanket statement, coming from someone who supposedly knows dogs) and that people aren’t going to feel comfortable bringing their dog in if they see a pit bull being boarded. This is the SAME logic used to justify segregation. I wouldn’t be surprised if they operated a «whites-​only» diner in 1950’s Alabama — people aren’t going to eat here if they see a black man at the counter.
After hearing this we quickly said thank you and hung up the phone. We know many boarders who allow pit bulls to live freely with the other dogs, and judging by the amount of business they get, other dog owners don’t seem to have any problems letting their pet live with a «dangerous breed».
Though everyone is entitled to their own opinions and ways they operate a business, there is no place in this world for bigotry and discrimination.

Great place for dogs!
Wonderful boarding and love for your dogs. We took our dogs there for the first time and they loved it, and Wendy. Everything was smooth and easy, plus the dogs came home happy and healthy. They didn’t seem stressed out at all. We just got back from having them there a fully 5 weeks, and it was by far the best option in the Portland metro area (and believe me, we went to MANY boarding/​kennel options around town).
The best part is Wendy will take dogs of any temperment and adjust their experience accordingly. If your dog is social they get to spend most of the day outside on the 10 acre property together. If they are anti-​social they get private time in a separate outdoor area. There are both outdoor kennels (heated/​cooled as needed) and an indoor house for hanging out, watching TV or sleeping.
Our dogs love to be together, to run outside, love and affection from humans (who doesn’t?!) and nature. This is a particularly good fit for anxious dogs and dogs who love to roam and run and play.
It is a bit out of the way, but totally worth it.
They do pet sitting at your home and obedience training too, but I haven’t tried those.
Wendy clearly gets to know the dogs, their personalities, their needs and just wants to make sure they are happy. Highly recommended!
