i know i dropped the ball on this one

i have to find someone/someplace to take care of my *friendly* doberman from Dec 26th to Jan 1st

been calling around everywhere... full or waitlisted

does anyone on here know of any pet boarding or babysitting services that aren't full? maybe there's someone trustworthy and qualified that would be able to come to my house that doesn't advertise as much as the kennels??

please help

i ended up getting one of my friends to house sit, i couldn't find anywhere to take my dog during the holidays

12/20/2006 1:15:05 PM

Did you call Tyson Animal hospital? 544-8297

12/20/2006 1:26:40 PM

Check the nearest large apartment complex. I know there are quite a few advertisements for people that will come by and walk, feed your dog etc... in my apartments.

I dunno who all you have called, but we have taken our dog to the 'pet hotel' at petsmart.

they usually have room

12/20/2006 1:30:22 PM

i like dogs and ill be around

12/20/2006 2:58:07 PM

Does it get along with other dogs? I'd be happy to do it if so. I've watched several different dogs on tww before.

Most Animal Hospitals with boarding fill up more slowly then the boarding specific places like Camp Canine, so I'd check with them.

12/20/2006 8:23:04 PM

I need to board my cats.....

4 nights at the Pet Hotel is 200 bucks

12/20/2006 8:29:42 PM

Eh, fuck it, I hate to see a dog in trouble (you dumbass!). I'll be around until the 30th, so I can help out with the dog...but there's NO way in hell I'm missing a certain boat race at the beach new years.


My labs have a dobie buddy that they hang out with and they all get along fine. Yours friendly with other dogs? More importantly, friendly with humans?

Can the dogs stay at your place and just be cared for by a person who goes by to feed, walk, play with etc? If so, I may have some business recommendations for you...

(sorry if you already answered this)...

If you're really in a bind, if I don't go out of town I'll help... assuming you live around Raleigh/Cary.


Or I can help after ^ leaves

Whoa! I said I'd help with the dog if needed. I can't take sole responsibility until then. hahaa. Damn.

I've run into probs finding last minute help for my dogs before, but I wouldn't put it all on just one person. They got shit to do too, ya know.

12/20/2006 10:20:04 PM

sorry i just meant if you weren't around I am after Dec. 31

12/20/2006 10:21:10 PM

^ No worries. I gotcha.

The weird thing is this dumbass-dog-owner-in-trouble hasn't answered the first question about, well, anything?? what the hell?

12/20/2006 10:25:05 PM

hey now... i thought i responded yesterday but must've closed the browser window before it sent

anyway, i am right now checking out my last few options (calling two more kennels and waiting on one possible family friend), but its not looking good

the dog could (and preferably would) be staying at my house in cary. if my last few options dont check out, i would definitely be willing to pay a dog-loving person to make sure she's taken care of while i'm gone

oh, and she is very human friendly, as long as she doesnt think you're an intruder. she's a very sweet dog, although she doesnt always have interest in playing with other dogs. she's been chased around by a miniature rat terrier before.

12/22/2006 12:42:18 PM

12/23/2006 12:27:42 PM

Cool, cause it looks like I just temporarily aquired another lab...a chocolate to go with my two black ones.

12/23/2006 12:45:26 PM
