I worked in one for a few weeks and quit out of disgust. It is a big business here in my town and if only the owners knew half the nonsense of this one!
When special beds or blankets were given to slepp on, they weren't used. They were put up on the shelf and dog slept on moist concrete floor. occasionally, we had some battered towels for the oldies. If they peed, of course, none. No beds. And the food buckets were sometimes just handed to another dog who came in, like on the holidays stay, not washed. Also, if an animal was there for grooming only, they would shuffle the dogs in and out, no washing the floor unless there was excrement or urine of course. This all is a Dept of Agri no-no. And, the inside and outside runs had locks between each that you couldn't undo without much play,as they were put together wrong. Well, what if a fire? And, they would not let people come by surprise to see the pets or in back. The pets, when they were going home, were brought up front to the owners of course, along with any blankets. Spare food or food not given that had been set for a specific dog, was just used for others or thrown out. It was a mess. Yet, they sure advertised it as great, 24 hr security....a girl slept in a trailer in the woods in back, against town ordinance. Great place!
