Doggy Daycare
It is no secret that many college students own a pet. One of the most common pets a college student will own is a dog. However, owning a dog is a lot of responsibility, and not every college student has the time and energy to constantly tend to their dogs’ needs. Other college students might be in need of a companion to help them navigate, due to a disability. So how do these situations get resolved? That is where the K9-5 Doggy Daycare, Anything is Pawsable, is available. Anything is Pawsable is a non-profit organization for dogs located in St. Marys, Ohio that operates to care dogs that belong to owners who need their pets out of the house, as well as raises dogs to serve future owners according to the owner’s physical and/or mental issues. Here are the following things the facility is responsible for doing:
Grooming, Boarding, and Training:
K9-5 provides training and grooming for dogs. Staff will work with any breed. Grooming involves hair being brushed and cut, as well as nails being trimmed, baths being given, and teeth brushed. Dogs born at the daycare are trained for various tasks, such as therapy and behavior interruption.
Maintaining the Dogs’ Health:
Anything is Pawsable helps the dogs stay healthy by providing the animals proper food and clean water. Naps are timed to give the dogs time rest and get plenty of sleep. Exercise is given through playtime outside, which depends on the season and weather. In the spring and summer, dogs are outside all day, except for rainy days. In the winter, dogs are only allowed outside for five minutes. Employees will stay overnight to tend to further care of the dogs during busy weeknights.
Adoptions:
Some dogs are born and bred at the daycare and are put through training to serve their masters in the future. This training can last from six months to two years, depending on the individual animal. Training dogs are donated to families, schools, and other facilities.
If anyone is looking for a place to drop off their dogs for the day or is in need of a service dog to help them navigate society, be sure to get in contact with Anything is Pawsable. They can be reached through Facebook, their main social media outlet.
