A loving home away from home for your four-legged family!
At Heck of a Dog Home, we believe your dog deserves more than just a place to stay—they deserve to feel at home, safe, and truly cared for. Nestled in the heart of the Lloydminster, Wainwright, and Vermilion area, our family-run dog resort offers something special: a 100% kennel-free experience designed for well-mannered dogs who thrive in a relaxed, home-style environment.
Where Dogs Play, Relax, and Feel Right at Home
Your pup becomes part of our family during their stay. They’ll share our cozy, 2,000 square foot home and explore our 14 acres of fully fenced, off-leash freedom—complete with open fields, shady trees, and even a private doggy beach. It’s the perfect balance of play, rest, and companionship in a safe and secure setting.
Meet the Pack Behind the Magic
We’ve been proudly caring for dogs for over 18 years. With a deep passion for canine wellbeing and full certification in canine first aid, we’re committed to providing the best care possible—because we know how much your dog means to you.
We’re also proud pet parents to seven wonderful dogs of our own:
- Bjarkee, Quimbley, Khataff, Tattyk, Krom and Gretchen – our gentle and friendly Irish Wolfhounds
- Tillie – our small but mighty Cairn Terrier
Each of our dogs plays a special role in welcoming new guests and making them feel comfortable. Their different personalities bring a joyful energy and help create a warm, social environment that feels like a true doggy retreat.
A Tail-Wagging Good Time for Every Pup
Whether your dog is young and energetic or older and mellow, tiny or towering, we tailor each experience to suit their needs and comfort. From morning romps through the yard to afternoon naps in the sun, your dog’s day is full of love, attention, and fun.
Giving Back to Dogs in Need
Caring for dogs is more than a business—it’s our calling. We’re actively involved in local dog rescue efforts throughout Lloydminster, Wainwright, and Vermilion, and we proudly volunteer with the Irish Wolfhound Club of Canada Rescue.
If you’re looking to:
- Adopt or rehome an Irish Wolfhound
- Connect with a trusted breeder, vet, groomer, or trainer
We’re always here to help.
We Can’t Wait to Meet You!
If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog while you’re away, we’d be honored to welcome them into our home. At Heck of a Dog Home, your pup will be treated like one of our own—with open arms, belly rubs, and plenty of playtime.
