April and Elton

I am April Woods and my partner is William Smith, we created Animal Daycare & Boarding together.  Due to illness, William had to move out-of-state at the end of 2025.  I’ve lived in Alaska all of my life.  We both have always enjoyed animals.  I consider myself an Animal Advocate, in that I work to better the lives of animals.  Over the years, I have rescued: dogs, cats, a green-wing macaw, a blue and gold macaw, a box turtle, and a snapping turtle.  William grew up on a farm and has experience raising horses, cows, pigs, possums, pigeons, dogs and cats.  We are natural animal lovers and have years of experience working with animals.  Animal Daycare & Boarding has been a dream of mine for a long time; we started making it come true in late 2006 and opened in January 2007.  We have taken dog training classes and are Red Cross Canine CPR and First Aid certified.

AD&B provides your pet a home away from home; we want your pet to enjoy his or her time here; so we play, pet and provide your dog with plenty of time to run and play with all the other dogs.  You can leave your pet with Animal Daycare & Boarding and be assured that he or she is getting the best care possible.
