We rescued a 'code red' dog and after we got him to safety at our home, reality set in. We have 2…read moreother dogs who were, of course, not aware of the change about to happen in our home. They were less than welcoming and not just a little bit scared of our new family member.
We had a lot of help in those first few days. Especially from Morgan at Pets Plus in Londonderry, but that's another post.
With her help and a recommendation from a beautiful stranger at the Hudson dog park, I was feeling confident enough to call Play all Day in Windham, NH..
Kate signed me up for a tour on a Tuesday and my fear was having to go back to work on the following day, with our only choice, a crate. Which , was not, in our thoughts the best choice for him.
Colleen gave me the tour, answered all my questions and I hers. There was an opening and since our boy had all his vaccines and he was allowed to go the following morning.
They were so welcoming and tolerated my multiple phone calls that day with kindness and patience.
They helped our boy with manners, and helped him out on needed weight by feeding him special lunches for us, they held him when he needed extra love.
The folks here, Colleen, Kate, Chrissy, and Tiffany, who I see at the front never once made me feel like I made the wrong decision. Our boy comes home happy and tired. They even let me know when they felt when he needed to take a few days off.
He was a different dog at home now. No longer constantly trying to rough play with the girl pups, listening better and enjoying his quiet time in his crate, which he would put himself into...
Play All Day, along with the amazing team at Pets Plus and a trainer, has our small townhouse at peace with 2- 50+ lb dogs and a little 30lb girl seeing more peace than I could imagine.
Our boy can now stay home with the girls while we are out for errands or even a dinner out.
They also do baths and nail trimming. Our boy's first bath was with them and he was so relaxed in their hands, he fell asleep.
I get updates when I pick him up, thry let me know if he needed a time out, or if another pup got a bit rough with him. My questions are always answered and I am never made to feel like I'm bothering them.
I feared daycare before meeting these awesome people. I've heard horror stories and given a recent, terrible, incident at another local daycare, I wanted folks to know, that the stranger at the park, was 100% correct when she told me I could trust Play All Day to help our boy adjust to his new home.
They, along with Pets Plus and our trainer, save his life as much as we did when we pulled him from the shelter.
At every drop off I'm greeted with a smile, and our boy is greeted with a hug and a good morning.
Each pick up at the end of the day, I'm also greeted with a smile and a story about his day.
I don't know how they do it day in and day out, but the wonderful, amazing, beautiful, staff at Play All Day, Windham, are the absolute best!
