At Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary, we provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for all birds and poultry during their stay. Whether you need short-term or long-term boarding, each guest receives personalized care designed to meet their unique needs.

1. Individualized Housing

Each bird or flock is housed in a clean, spacious, and secure enclosure appropriate for its size and species.

• Poultry (such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys) are kept in well-ventilated coops with fresh bedding, roosting areas, and outdoor runs for daily exercise.

• Pet and exotic birds (like parrots, cockatiels, or finches) are housed indoors in roomy cages or aviaries equipped with perches, toys, and enrichment items.

2. Cleanliness and Health

Sanitation is our top priority. All enclosures are cleaned and disinfected daily, with fresh bedding, feed, and water provided regularly.
We monitor each bird for signs of stress or illness and can provide basic first aid, wound care, and nutritional support as needed.

3. Nutrition and Feeding

Birds are fed high-quality species-appropriate diets, including grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and supplements. Owners may also provide their bird’s preferred diet to maintain consistency.

4. Socialization and Enrichment

We understand that birds are social and intelligent animals. During their stay, birds enjoy gentle interaction, music, natural sunlight exposure, and safe opportunities for flight or foraging behavior whenever possible.

5. Safety and Supervision

The sanctuary is fully enclosed and predator-proof, with 24-hour supervision. Our trained caretakers ensure that all animals remain calm, safe, and comfortable throughout their boarding experience.

6. Special Care Options

For birds with medical needs, stress issues, or special diets, we offer individualized care plans and can coordinate with your veterinarian if necessary.

At Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary, we understand that life can bring unexpected challenges — from medical recovery to military deployment. During those times, your dog deserves a safe, loving place to stay — a place that feels like home. That’s where we come in.

❤️ Compassionate Care When You Need It Most

Our Medical & Military Boarding Program offers peace of mind for families facing temporary hardships. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, receiving long-term care, or serving our country away from home, we provide a trusted home-away-from-home for your loyal companion.

🏡 A Place of Comfort and Routine

Each dog is given their own clean, cozy space with comfortable bedding, daily exercise, and lots of personal attention. We keep routines consistent — feeding, walks, playtime — so your pet feels calm, secure, and loved.

🩺 Special Attention for Medical Needs

If your dog requires medications, limited mobility care, or a specialized diet, our trained staff is ready to help. We work with your veterinarian’s recommendations to make sure every need is met safely and gently.

🎖️ Honoring Our Heroes

For active-duty military members, deployed reservists, and veterans, we proudly offer special boarding options and extended care programs. Your service inspires us to serve in return — by caring for the four-legged family members who wait patiently for your return.

🌟 A Promise of Love and Loyalty

At Barker’s, dogs aren’t just boarded — they’re embraced as family. With open fields to run, cozy kennels to rest, and hearts full of love, we make sure every stay is beyond the ordinary.
