Lifetime Care

We also offer retirement for dogs that have special needs or they are getting older and the owner is unable to provide for them.

For your dogs that you can no longer care for due to old age, illness or change in circumstances of the caregiver, MIBO can work with you to provide care and companionship to live out their lives with the dignity they deserve. 

Dogs eligible for Lifetime Care: 

• typically are 10 years or older (age criteria may vary depending on breed/size); long-term and perpetual care planning is available for younger dogs
• have no history of aggression
• have experienced or are about to experience a disruption in their lives due to change in health, and well-being
• have care needs that can no longer be adequately provided
• may face health and/or mobility challenges
• are typically considered by an animal shelter or humane society to be “unadoptable” due to age, mobility, or state of health

Prices for Lifetime Care are quoted on a case-by-case basis. Full payment upfront is required for 12 months and any unused portion during this period will be returned to you (no further payments are required for their stay thereafter).

While we were in recovery...

We (or rather, I) had a minor procedure done recently and had to be given home rest. What the doctor doesn't know is that the biggest action happens at home! Here are some of the ones who provided company and uplifting entertainment :)

Daisy - How can you not smile when this crazy gal gives you one of the biggest grins just by looking in her direction? :D

Prudence - She moves with a purpose, and even though she may look slow to you, she will get what she wants. This is Pru spotting her wet dog look!

Miki - Always up for a game with the other dogs. She loves playing with > 

Haggis - He's been known as one of the best puppy nannies around. So giving and loving with everyone!

Dani (Transit)

The many faces of Dani make for an interesting moment, no matter the time of day. She's very playful and loves all other dogs - she won't stay still for long and bounces off quickly to join in whatever that is happening around her.

On her down time, she love to hog the sofa :) But also on the alert in case anything happens while she snoozes!

See her in action with one of the smaller dogs (as Mobi watches) - she absolutely loves the little ones :)

Me & My Buddy

It's great to have friends! Someone you can share your joy with (or a bone) and hang out with during the day :) This is Buddy and Mobi. And it looks like they are checking out the next siesta spot. 

"How about over there?" 

"Perfect. I'll race you."

Bebe

For as long as we have done this, you would think that there was nothing much that could surprise us. Then came along a cat named Bebe. She's the shyest cat that we've ever met! Usually after a few days, most (all) cats come out of their shell and show their natural self (and that can range from being very nice & loving to erm... not so nice and loving?)

We were sad that Bebe was still hiding after the few days, we had to get some cuddles to her. As you can see she's not so into the forced loving. 

This is her standard pose - she's always hiding her head! Awww...

 

But she slowly warmed up to the attention and rested comfortably :)

Mindy

As far as puppies go, Mindy has got to be one of the cutest baby. Ever! She's wonderfully social and good with the other dogs. Even by herself, she manages to make us laugh :D

Dearest Mindy-Moo, don't stay away too long!

My foot is stuck, don't tell anyone!

Soda

This is Soda's first stay with us and she was quite shy in the beginning. And she was not sure what to make of the other cats who popped their curious faces to check out the new comer. But true to what her owner said, she likes the human attention.

Once out of her crate, she gives a good lengthy stretch and check that her toy duck is all ok. She's such a gorgeous cat too!

She's sweeter than she looks here!

Sonja

This "manja" girl starts out her stay trying to be grumpy, but give her a little time and she will be so loving to you. She calls for you when she sees anyone!

MEOW!

 She's even ok with other cats. She doesn't mind them hanging around her space!

Kara (& Haggis)

Meet Kara, a playful 7 month old Japanese Spitz puppy. She's always up for teasing the other dogs! She runs right up to them and tries to get them to play. And when she doesn't get the response that she wants, she barks at them to get their attention. 

Remember Haggis? We just knew that these 2 would be the perfect playmates for each other!

Haggis: Play with me?

 

So here are some shots of them in the morning, getting some play in after breakfast! Never a wasted moment :)

This cute face is also the crazy look she gets before bursting away and chasing another dog!

Kara: Haggis?? Where are you?!
Haggis: Helpzzzz!

Codie

In love with this senior girl! Codie is in her own little world: puppies run circles around her and she doesn't bother with them. She's happiest in the garden wandering and giving everything a good sniff. If this grand dame barks (more like a muffled wuff), she wants something!
