About Woofingtons
The Woofingtons of LakeCity teammates are animal lovers and strive to provide a safe, and caring home away from home for your pup. We understand the importance of our furry friends’ wellbeing and pride ourselves in a quality over quantity approach, offering a low stress environment by holding a low staff-dog ratio and stringent assessment process, paying special attention to each dog’s needs. We take a positive, calm approach to our handling and directives and adhere to strict cleaning guidelines to ensure a healthy environment. Woofingtons of LakeCity not only builds relationships in our dog community but also provides therapeutic and skill-building opportunities through our participant volunteer program and supported employment roles within Woofingtons.
Our parent organization, LakeCity Works, supports people living with mental illness to build on their strengths, take on responsibilities and access work experience, education and employment. As well as our employment support and therapeutic services, we also operate several social enterprises (including Woofingtons!). We’re best known for our flagship enterprise, LakeCity Woodworkers, where we produce beautiful solid wood furniture. Our other ventures are equal sources of pride and include LakeCity Plastics, LakeCity Helpers, Reboot, Bright Firestarters, and Vinland, all of which are introduced in more detail on our website www.lakecityworks.ca. We’re an active, entrepreneurial, impact-driven organization and every day we live our vision to empower people to be themselves and thrive.
