Dog sent home as 'dangerous' after drop-off - inadequate intake assessment

โ€œI recieved a call from the manager... saying that I must come back to pick up my dog because he was showing signs of aggression and they refused to care for him as he may be dangerous to their staffโ€

Dog not fed during boarding - food untouched, blood in stool after pickup

โ€œNONE of his food had been touched in the basket... it was all still in the baggies... he pooped a pool of blood on my kitchen floorโ€

Wrong dog mix-up causing distress to dog and owner

โ€œWe had the note about the wrong dog... I just see my dog terrified, uncomfortable, and yelling because they're doing exactly what I told them not to doโ€
