The mission statement is to provide dogs in our care with safety, affection, <br />clean water, healthy food, a comfortable and energy-efficient shelter, regular outdoor exercise, and the <br />experience of being in nature with canine and human companions. With a focus on quality of care, we propose <br />to keep to a limited capacity averaging fewer than 10 dogs per day and feature a fenced play area around <br />the canine shelter, called the Dog Den. Canine Adventure will be a service-based business that offers three <br />main services to local dog owners: Adventure Walks, Day Camp, and Stay Camp.” This Special Use Permit <br />application is being submitted as the applicant plans to board more than five dogs per night. <br />For additional project information, see Application (Attachment 1) Exhibit B. <br />77
