I have used this place to kennel my dogs about three or four times. I have active dogs and I liked the concept that the dogs could run free during the day and only be kenneled in the late afternoon.
Since I am not there to witness what goes on, I can not say whether or not what the previous employee said is true or not. If it is, I am so sad to have ever put my dogs here. The thought of what they may have endured breaks my heart.
But, I have experienced first hand the temper tantrums of the owner. She has always been very strict about drop off/pick up. I have always tried to comply even though I thought her rules were a bit unrealistic.
We went to drop off our dogs last Sunday and Lynda was in a foul mood. As we were driving away from the place my husband and I were concerned and hoped that she would not treat the dogs in the same grumpy, rude manner she had treated us. Today we went to pick up our babies and when we turned on Lena Rd., (which is where you are to call from your cell phone, EXACTLY 5 minutes before your appt.), I noticed we were 15 min. early. So I called and stated who I was and that I knew I was running early, and before I could say anything else she jumped all over my case. So we waited until 3 min. before our appt. and drove to her fence. I called and said we were out front and ready to get the dogs if she was ready. She totally went off on me. At the gate to pick up the dogs she kept saying F#*%$ you, repeatedly. I was keeping calm and trying to explain that I wasn't trying to be disrespectful but that it was hard to exactly time when I show up coming from the island. She continued to repeatedly say ""shut up"". I told her I wanted her to speak to me with respect but to no avail. She also imposed a $50 fine on us. She ""fired us"" as well. What a joke! This woman needs to get out of the business, her lack of people skills would not be suitable for any type of business. I just so hope my animals have not been abused. My Italian Greyhound has small sores all over him which really concerns me. Don't take a chance on this place. I will be looking for another place or open my own.
She kept mentioning during her tantrum that she was going in for surgery soon. Perhaps karma has come full circle to her. Attitudes and practices such as her's would surely make anyone sick and toxic.
Pros: Active animals are given room to run
Cons: Horrid Owner
