BTW there are good boarding facilities. I left my JR and first Yorkie at one for 4 days once. My toys and dishes were kept with them, they used the food & treats I brought, my bag had dated baggies and the appropriate ones were gone when I picked them up, my dogs were bathed, groomed, and happy when I picked them up, they did answer the phone each day when I called to check on them, they had logs of every potty outing they got (6 per day), it was entirely different from the horrible experience you had.
I also visited unexpectedly before I left them there. I saw the place in operation and it was all neat, clean, and being run like clockwork. The workers all seemed to genuinely love the dogs and gave them lots of attention. I got a "window" suite, with a little toddler bed for mine. They had lots of room to play and look out on the world. Course their lodging cost almost as much as ours, but it was worth it to know they were well spoiled. Just adding that so you might think about it again some day when you have other choices besides this place that let you down. |
