Sugarland Ranch is a dog boarding program open to the public
Sugarland Ranch was established in 2001 by Mack and Robyn. In September, 2004, Honey Bear’s Country Kennels, a dog boarding program, named after one of their beloved Old English Mastiffs, was opened to the public. Honey Bear’s Country Kennels remains the primary dog boarding program of Sugarland Ranch that helped to support Sugarland’s previous non-profit Mission and programs.
Mack has a background in juvenile probation. Robyn is a licensed physical therapist in California and Nevada. She became one of the first physical therapists to become recognized by the State of Nevada Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners as an Animal Physical Therapist and continues to mentor other practitioners in this area.

TOMMY BOY
February 19, 2012 – October 7, 2021
To our beloved Tommy Boy, aka “Tom Cat”, our Last Man Standing, after 35 years of living with our beloved Mastiffs, your passing marks the end of an era and with endings come new beginnings. We had so many talks especially after your Soulmate Lavinia, your “LuLu Bear”, left us in December, 2018. You were so lost without her, so many great times walking the Sugarland trails, all together, and then having those talks, trying to prepare both of us for life at Sugarland without Lavinia. We managed through difficult times with you always at our sides. We remember all of the wonderful times when we first met at the Shelter, you were so young, vibrant and what a wonderful Companion. Words cannot express the loss that we feel, the emptiness having to say goodbye yet knowing that you were on your way to be with our Lavinia. Knowing that you were making your journey to her, provides us comfort, also knowing that a piece of our hearts will always be bound with yours & your presence is always known to us.
