Worth noting
Inadequate supervision and understaffing
βOnly one person working in the entire facility for 30+ dogs. This means dogs are consistently left unattended as there is a small and large group, despite there only being one person working.β
Not notifying owners of incidents in a timely manner
βThe first day my dog got in a fight started by another large breed. I was not made aware of this until they sent a video of the dogs in the yard and saw a frame with my dog in it covered in blood on his face.β
Dogs left outside in extreme weather without adequate reprieve
βThey let the dogs just run around all day long outside with no reprieve and they come home filthy and smelly.β
No proper meet-and-greet or gradual introduction for new dogs
βNo 'meet and greet' or anything to slowly introduce new dogs., meaning it's even more likely that a temperamental dog is left unsupervised with 20-30 others.β
Not notifying owners about incidents
βI was not made aware of this until they sent a video of the dogs in the yard and saw a frame with my dog in it covered in blood on his face.β

Dogs coming home dirty/smelly after outdoor play
βHe smelled rancid and his fur was all matted.β
No gradual introduction for new dogs
βThey were not introduced to the pack in any way, they were essentially just shoved out the back door.β
