Your host is JOULE CHARNEY, who does her utmost to fulfill all of your needs and desires in a dog park and provide the best experience for you and your dogs. JOULE IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL HOST..... She founded her first business, TENACULAR RECOURSES, named for her tenacity, in 1983. In the 1990s, her avid dog sport participation, which through the years includes hunt tests, dock-jumping & FastCAT, and her pheasant hunting addiction, led to the establishment of an additional business: DOGNACULAR. Joule began by offering owner-handler training. She added offering properties for retriever training and hunting. Her guide services were included for hunters who desired them. Eventually, people came from all over the country to stay at Joule's home in California, which became her 'Bed & Breakfast with Birds.' In 2012, Joule began boarding dogs in her home, for clients her preferred their dogs to be housed in a home environment instead of being cooping up in kennels or crates. Then came the worst luck since Joule's beloved boyfriend of twenty-three years died in 2003. Her home and businesses were destroyed on 11/08/2018 in the infamous wildfire known as the Camp Fire, caused by Pacific, Gas & Electric Company. The Town of Paradise, California was 95% wiped off the face of the Earth. It was the deadliest fire in California history with 85 people in the official death count. Joule was in her home when it caught fire. She got out her dogs and went back in three more times trying to rescue her cat. Her escape vehicle was surrounded by fire. Her route out of the town was thwarted repeatedly as she slowly navigated burned cars through the foothills with tens of thousands of others. She was burned, had smoke inhalation damage, and had essentially nothing left but one severely damaged escape vehicle, her dogs, and her life. With nowhere specific to go, Joule bought a motorhome and lived in it for three years with her Labs, Primus and Tunie, adding a Lab puppy, Scorch, in 2021. She ended up at a friend's RV area on his large retriever estate in SW Georgia in late 2021. Joule bought her place about a half hour away in Hartsfield, Georgia in early 2022. After toiling for the past 3.5 years, Joule has turned her new location into her personal paradise and she loves to share it. Joule still owns her property in Paradise, CA because she saved the only standing chimney on a burned-out property from FEMA-regulated destruction after a one-year battle. It is a true monument to the fire and to Joule's tenacity. Professionally, Joule has been a licensed private investigator in California since 1983 and still holds that license. Her primary business was Alternative Dispute Resolution at the time of the fire. She holds a Masters in Information & Communication, a BA in Economics, and an AA in Administration of Justice. Joule has remained productive as a published author & prolific freelance writer. Her passion for dogs and dog people led her to create DOGNACULAR JOULE'S in Georgia. You will find it truly is a spectacular paradise for dogs with a gracious host unlike any other you ever will meet. (Rev. 09/18/25)
