Default I think Coffee Girl has provided several examples

which would give pause to any animal lover...and I am grateful whether she is disgruntled, angry, or sad. Ultimately, it is up to me to be the ombudsperson for my animal's welfare and safety. Insider "tips" have
often been the way many criminals are caught.

To my knowledge, no, laws, licensure or oversight are necessary to open a Boarding facility for animals in Florida. (Note: I have not checked on this recently, and in Florida it can be different County to County). Plus, if there
are standards, there have to be people to check...and animals generally fall low on that totem pole.

Sooo, this should be considered, perhaps, a cautionary tale (tail), but one
worth the thought of Border Beware. It raises a huge yellow flag for me
in any search I might make of the facility or any other, and I appreciate the heads up.
