OUR STORY
The Bone Adventure opened it’s doors in 2003. Now, with two Costa Mesa locations and over 60 employees, we are proud to be the dog care choice to thousands of individuals and families who have busy and demanding schedules but still want the companionship of a well-adjusted dog. Socialization and exercise are the primary factors contributing to a dog’s well being, and we strive to provide this in a safe, clean, and fun environment.
The company has had strong, but gradual growth, by design. The most important asset we have is our employees. It takes time for employees to learn this business, and we have selected people who not only love animals, but have the ambition and talent to be able to build an environment that maintains the “fun” factor, and also remains safe and clean for the dogs and our staff.
