I would like to get a rough idea from this group of residents regarding the following: > 1) If an American style facility were available to board pets would you use it? > > 2) If not, why not? If so, how often? > > Regards from the Northeast (a.k.a. relentless winter), > John B. Thank you all for your responses, (I think), especially you Steve. This idea is simply a service I am considering. Of course, it would mainly serve the gringos. It's conceived to employ 1 or 2 locals on a part time basis. I assume the rate would be about half of what is charged in the states. There is NO intention of getting rich, or even enough to sustain on the income generated. Just a little kennel, a place where people can drop off 'Fido', or 'Fluffy', or maybe 'Polly' for a day, week, or month, while their owners go to Ceiba, or the States, the Mediterranean, or wherever else people go when they leave the island. While they are gone, their animal is in good care, special instructions, Vet # and, or, appointments are kept, emergency ph. #s etc. No neighbors, no favors, no watchie, no poison. Upon return, pet is bathed etc. Happy little service. If a couple of airline tickets per year were realized in the profit column, that would be swell! My expectations are low, and realistic. Donald Trump have no fear. This is, as I said, a service mainly for ex-pats, not tourists. (established tourist trade, fear not!) Just an idea that I thought might be worth throwing into this medium. Thanks again for your responses. Regards, John B. | |
