We are taking the most pet friendly approach to this business. When it is hot, we have a small pool & air conditioning. We also provide heat, a fire alarm and a CO2 detector, 8 cats of our own, 6 private runs, 5 fenced yards, 4 chickens(so please leash you dog when checking in) 3 kids that love animals, (and a Partridge in a pear tree - lol). The temperature is maintained at 66 degrees in the winter and the air conditioner in the kennel is on when our home AC is on. We walk the dogs frequently and play with the dogs and cats as much as we can, as as well as saying a prayer with them each night at bedtime. We frequently take photos and add them to this website. The kennels are large and clean. Pine or cedar shavings are a free service we offer, but we recommend that you bring your pets their bedding so we can make them feel at home. We believe in Cesar Millan's philosophy of a calm and assertive disposition and encourage Socialization among the dogs. We have a library of Cesar Milllan's Dog Whisperer DVD's which are available for your viewing at no charge, just ask. The B&B actually stands for Bed and Blessings, and we say a prayer for each guest each night and try to love each guest Jesusfully.
Pet B&B humor..... If you call and speak to the twins and say "How was my dog(or cat)?", you can expect their response to be "He was DELICIOUS".

33 Horses need your help--------
33 Horses seized in King and Queen
County , Virginia
The King and Queen County Sheriff's Office, with the assistance of the United States Equine Rescue League, the Hanover Animal Control, King William Sheriff 's Department, Virginia State Police, and Orange County Sheriff's Department, conducted a search warrant at the farm of Elizabeth and Robert Amos , 5172 Powcan Road in Bruington, on June 29 and removed 33 horses from the property. Twenty other horses must be surrendered by the owners and the new owners must be approved by the Sheriff's Department.
Concerns were reported to the Sheriff's Office in regards to animal cruelty, unsanitary conditions, lack of adequate food sources, lack of medical care, lack of general care and improper disposal of remains.
The Sheriff's office is awaiting verternarian reports and lab results. The matter is under investigation and charges are pending. (Waiting for info on charges. Save space.)
According to the Sheriff's Department, the United States Equine Rescue League was crucial in this rescue. This is a non-profit organization of volunteers that rescues horses coming from Animal Control Departments. They provide veternarian care, food, transportation and lodging until homes can be found. The ten days of care since the seizure has cost over $15,000 which the organization has donated because of private donations. No county money has been used.
Anyone wishing to adopt any of these horses or donate money to the USERL, please contact the Sheriff's Department and the information will be forwarded to the Rescue League.
The Sheriff's Department would like to thank all the organizations that participated in this rescue. In addition the Mattaponi Volunteer Rescue was on scene providing medical support, food and water.
The Sheriff's Department took over Animal Control operations as of July 1. If there any complaints of animal cruelty, please call the Sheriff's Department at 769-3250 or 785-7400.
Sheriff John Charboneau stated, "The Sheriff's Department takes the complaint of animal cruelty as seriously as a complaint of human cruelty."
Anyone wishing to adopt any of these horses or donate money to the USERL, please contact the Sheriff's Department and the information will be forwarded to the Rescue League.
