Rental / Animal Request(s):
We’re happy to accept requests for a specific animal, and in most cases, we can accommodate. However, due to schedules or other circumstances, you may not always receive the exact animal you requested.
Animal Availability
- No particular animal is guaranteed to attend any event or party.
- We reserve the right to substitute, change, or exclude animals for any reason.
- Our primary concern is always the health, comfort, and safety of our animals.
Photography & Animal Listings
- Not all animals shown on our website will always be available to hire or attend.
- Animals may be unavailable due to retirement, rehoming, or passing away.
- We only use pictures of animals we currently own or have owned in the past — never other people’s or companies’ animals.
Animal Care & Conduct
You can be confident that every one of our animals is well-kept, well-mannered, and eager to please.

Add-On Animals

● Alternative fencing or equipment not listed in our rental descriptions.
● Site visits before the event date (unless arranged as an extra service).
Set-Up & Pack-Up Location
We typically park on the street in front of your home and set up in the front yard so our large truck and trailer have direct access to the setup zone. Animals exit the trailer directly into our fencing.
Important:
- We do not back into small driveways for safety and insurance reasons.
- If your backyard is easily accessible for us to drive in and circle out, we can set up there.
- We cannot walk animals on leashes or carry all equipment into a backyard.
- If the backyard is not easily accessible, the front yard will be used — this is very common and has not caused problems.
Extra Charge Alert
If your location requires setup in a complicated area that does not meet our requirements, an additional $50 fee will be charged.
To arrange this:
- Inform us in advance.
- Email your request and send a video of the area to 757-907-7613.
- This fee allows us to hire extra staff or arrive earlier to accommodate the setup.
Other extra fees may apply for special requests, such as:
- Specialty permits required for attendance.
- COI on insurance policy with additional insured.
- Alternative fencing or equipment.
- Early arrival beyond 30 minutes.
- Pre-event site visits.
- Any other requests not listed as included in writing on our website or via email.
