Mermaid Cottages Guide Dog Pup Update!

For those of you who may not know, we at Mermaid Cottages have a cause that is near and dear to our hearts…sponsoring service and guide dogs! When you stay in one of our cottages, you are helping us continue our quest to sponsor dogs who go on to help disabled individuals and returning soldiers realize their independence. We are super excited about our new Beach Bum Biscuits too, as proceeds from their sales helps fund this great cause! (Here’s where to find them!)

Boomer, taking a break!

Our latest sponsor is Boomer! Boomer is a sweet, playful Golden Retriever pup. He is about to be 6 months old and is doing wonderfully. He is a bold, self-confident little guy and is doing so well in puppy class, he is often the example of “how its done” for his fellow classmates! Boomer’s mom Sandy also reports that he is a super smart quick learner, and isn’t afraid of anything!

Thanks for the update and photos Sandy! We’re looking forward to hearing more about Boomer’s success in the future!
If you are interested in learning more about this wonderful cause and how you can help, please visit our website. Thank you for stopping by to share in our sponsor pride…stay turned for future updates on all our sponsored pups!
