Boarding

In order for dogs to participate in the program at the Fraser Valley Institution they must be:

• Great meeting strangers (off property, think uniformed officers)
• Tolerant around dogs, no history of aggression. While they do not need to go out with other dogs they cannot pose a danger through the fence or walking past other dogs
• Current on all vaccinations; DA2PPV, Bordetella and Rabies. I also recommend regular deworming and flea prevention
• Spayed or neutered by 12 months of age (and not in season)
• Medically and behaviourally healthy.
• Comfortable in a kennel setting. Severe anxieties will need behaviour assessment, Veterinary intervention and a gradual entry process.
• If a clients’ dog meets these criteria then the next step is to book a tour of the facility with the Instructor. This provides the client an opportunity to see where their dogs will stay. The Instructor will then see how the dog copes coming though the Institution and being around the kennel environment with the owner present.
• Tours are offered 3 days a week Wednesday to Friday at 10, 11, 1:30, 2:30 or 3:30 depending on scheduling.
• Paperwork is completed at the time of the tour. All the rules of using the program are addressed at that time.
• Payments are made in advance of use of service by:
  • Etransfer: etransfer@lapsbc.ca
  • Call LAPS with a credit card number
