Are you cruel to Animals? Do you abuse them for fun? This might be the place for you. You know when you look at a place and it "doesn't look right"? You smell a place, and it just doesn't feel right? That is Shirley Cooney Dog boarding and Daycare. This is a sad case of "Second Generation" ownership. Folks in my town that I trust dearly, all had good things to say, but they were more than three year old dated experiences...Shirley is no longer part of the business, and it doesn't only blare like a fire alarm, its sad because her good name and love for dogs is on it.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FOR THE HEALTH and SAFETY of your pets. They are caged 100% of the time, and urinate in their cages because they aren't let out. On my first day, their "procedures" and lack there of, raised my suspicion...it was a small place, so maybe that was ok - i justified in my head. Odd I thought that other dogs were whining for a "free roaming" facility. I let it go, on my return that night, my puppy was very happy to see me, but was hot and needed to use bathroom - thought maybe just new place, she was getting used to it. So I said, I would be back tomorrow.

My poor puppy on the second and final day of their care came home with a limp leg. I ran immediately to the vet to ensure no breaks. Thank god, it was a sprain that went away in 48 hours. When asking the "staff" what happened, they said they don't know, because they weren't there for her grooming...She was there for 8 hours of day care while I was at work! The vet kept asking what the smell was..I said its from her being there - it was diarrhea from the cage above her, and on her back....She was not hydrated..and peed and pooped immediately outside.(with three legs at the vet checkup).

I was so angry, I didn't trust my self to return to ask for my money back or for them to cover the vet bill. It's best I never see the two people who "work there" ever again.
