  • Elite Pet Havens are opulent indoor environments for dogs and other companion animals. They simulate outdoor settings in which your dog can joyfully romp. Each Haven is custom-conceived and executed; they are truly unlimited in potential
  • Company CEO K. Michael Berry had his initial inspiration for the enterprise while sitting one day in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park. Lined by Greek Revival town houses and graced with a monumental marble arch modeled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Washington Square Park boasts of a dog run around which grow Catalpa trees, red roses and lavender bushes. Lovely as the park may be during la belle saison, however, during the harsher days of New York City winters it can seem less than ideal for dogs and their humans. Why, thought Mr. Berry to himself, should it not be possible for these cosmopolites and their dogs to enjoy a more al fresco style K-9/human bonding inside their dwelling places all year long?
