About Us
Paws Motail opened its doors in September 2000 to expand its passion for pets and assist with the need of a local dog boarding facility. Deanna made it her standard to demonstrate the highest level of care and compassion for her and other people's pets. Paws Motail treats every dog as if they were our own and realize that dog's are just not pets, but they are friends, companions, and family members. Each individual has their own unique personality and needs. With today's busy lifestyle it is sometimes difficult to fulfill those needs which is why Paws Motail is committed to providing your pet with the utmost care and attention.
