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.
SUPPORT AB487
Cindy Lou’s Law
AB487, also known as Cindy Lou’s Law, aims to phase out the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops to protect animals and consumers from the issues related to puppy mills. The bill passed out of the State Assembly’s Natural Resource Committee and is proceeding to the full Assembly and must be voted on by April 22, 2025. Supporters are encouraged to contact their representatives and participate in the legislative process to ensure its passage. 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 supplies and bringing shelter dogs and rescue groups in so the public can participate in adoption.
Please review the attachments prepared by World Humane, formerly US Humane Society for more detailed information.
