The Latest Scoop at Kamp K9

Refresher on What We Do

We had a somewhat amusing (to us) email arrive a short time ago. It started off as a confirmation of a boarding reservation over February Vacation week, and ended with a question: "Do you know of any place that takes cats?" My answer, served up with an "LOL!", was "Yes. Us." (The intent in sharing this is not at all to poke fun at anyone, but rather to jump on the opportunity to keep our clients informed.) I suppose our dog-centric name and most of the informational content you find on this newsletter would lead someone to believe that all we do is take care of people’s dogs, but that isn’t true. We also have a very cozy Kitty Kamp (yes, we believe in feline alliteration, too) in which we’ve taken care of many beautiful, funny, friendly, and loving cats, as well as rabbits and hamsters. More than once we’ve taken care of people's parrots, too. (Domesticated parrots, being intensely social and needy of human companionship, stay up in our home.) Keep us in mind if you or anyone you know has a non-dog pet in need of boarding!

Clearing Up Confusion on Hours

One bit of confusion that has been surprisingly rampant over the last two months has been about our hours of operation. Particularly, it’s often forgotten that Sunday is restricted to boarding drop-offs or pick-ups at 9:00AM on the hour and 5:00PM on the hour. The reason for this is simple: the Kamp K9 work day averages 12-13 hours in length, six days out of the week. On Sunday, we still, off course, take care of everyone; we don’t get a day off from that. However, Sunday is the one day in the week in which we try to preserve some family time, and not be answerable to the public coming and going all day long. We appreciate your understanding of that.

Animal Rescue Site Needs You!

One of the links we have is to a site called "The Animal Rescue Site" which has the web address http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3 . On the home page there’s a box you can click on which triggers donations for animal rescue groups (details can be found on the site). One piece of information circulating recently said that there aren’t enough clicks being made there, so we invite you all to join us in clicking at least once a day on The Animal Rescue Site, if you aren’t already. It’s easy, it costs you nothing, and it helps. Why not make it a part of your daily routine?
