I knew Doggies at the Beach was the place for Addy, when I picked her up after her first trial stay and they said: “Addy just had a cannoli.”
I have mentioned before that Addy is my “rescue”. After many years of not owning a dog I decided it was time. Dogs give so much back. I wanted her to have her “forever” home. I cannot imagine what experiences she must have had. I consider her a survivor.
After researching local rescue organizations, I decided to go to a meet and greet held by Paws of Tomorrow, located in Ocean View, Delaware. Ocean View is west of Bethany Beach. They do not have a physical address to see the dogs; they are fostered and brought to different events. You can visit www.pawsoftomorrow.com.
Addy became part of my family. Her breed? Well, lots in there from Beagle to …..
The next thing I needed to find out was a boarding facility. I wanted to be able to leave her where she would be safe and well cared for. Renee, who has 2 dogs told me about Doggies at the Beach. It is a cage free facility and that was so important. Also worth mentioning is that the dogs have 24 hour human supervision. After Addy had been moved around and in different cages, I did not want her to be in a cage again. I owed her that much.
A Cage Free Facility
Another important feature of Doggies at the Beach is that you can follow your dog’s activities on the computer. Yes, they do have a camera.
So, after 2 years of using Doggies at th Beach exclusively I can totally recommend them. They are located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 (Route 24). Tel. 302-644-8200. Website? www.doggiesatthebeach.com. You can also find them on Facebook.
Visit the website to check what is needed in the event that you would like to be a part of Doggies at the Beach.
I first took Addy for a temperament evaluation. What? This angel? She passed. Thank God. It is a free cage environment. There is a reason for the evaluation.

Even though I am in Delray Beach this week, when I left Rehoboth Beach I could tell that Spring was around the corner; my daffodils were growing like crazy and the pear trees had buds on their branches. Seemed like the birds were chirping up a storm, as well. Those little signs that make you feel so good. And if you get a crisp sunny day, then smile because it does not get better than that.
I woke up in Delray Beach to, again, a chilly morning. Hopefully, it will be warmer tomorrow.
But, if you are at the Delaware Beaches, then this is what you have to look forward to.
Clear Space Theatre is located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach. On their schedule you will find.
Backstage Lecture Series – Monday, March 21st at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $10 and include the seminar, coffee and bagels. It is a monthly installment of theatre-related discussions. On Monday, March 21st the discussion will be “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” by Lloyd King, a local English and humanities scholar and instructor.
One of the most, if not the most, prolific playwrights in history, William Shakespeare penned 37 plays and 154 sonnets in his lifetime. His work has been the inspiration for countless other works, from musicals to movies to contemporary interpretations of his stories. “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” will begin with a brief biography of the playwright, leading up to 1599, a pivotal year in his incredible life. In 1599, he wrote 4 immortal plays, “Henry V”, “As You Like It”, “Julius Caesar”, and “Hamlet”, taking audiences to new intellectual heights.
Mr. King received his Master’s Degree in English from the University of Tennessee, and has also studied at the University of North Carolina, American University, and Pace College. He taught English for nearly 40 years in Delaware, and operated a touring Shakespeare company at Glasgow High School.
He hopes his participation in this Backstage Lecture will help ease local audiences into being active and eager observers of Shakespeare’s work.
