Sugarland Ranch is a dog boarding program open to the public
Sugarland Ranch was established in 2001 by Mack and Robyn. In September, 2004, Honey Bear’s Country Kennels, a dog boarding program, named after one of their beloved Old English Mastiffs, was opened to the public. Honey Bear’s Country Kennels remains the primary dog boarding program of Sugarland Ranch that helps to support Sugarland’s non-profit Mission.
Mack has a background in juvenile probation. Robyn is a licensed physical therapist in Nevada, California and Arizona. She became one of the first physical therapists to become recognized by the State of Nevada Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners as an Animal Physical Therapist.

Cindy Lou’s Law – Update April 25th
AB487 aims to phase out the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops to protect animals and consumers from horrific cruelty re: puppy mills (interstate dog trafficking). The bill passed out of the State Assembly & now is in the Senate Natural Resource Committee & if approved, then to the full Senate for a vote. Supporters are encouraged to contact the Natural Resource Committee Members (see below list) to vote “yes”. Supporters also contact your State Senators to vote “yes” when it comes to the full Senate for a vote. REMEMBER, THIS BILL DOES NOT SHUT DOWN BUSINESSES. Pet stores have the option of doing what the big box stores have done years ago by selling pet related supplies concurrent with bringing shelter dogs and rescue groups into their stores so that the public can participate in adoption furthering their access to potential customers. Here are the Senate Natural Resource Committee Members to contact NOW: SenNR@sen.state.nv.us
- Michelee Cruz-Crawford – Chair
- Melanie Scheible – Vice Chair
- Julie Pazina
- Ira Hansen
