Dog dies in boarding kennel - GlobalPaw - Dog Communities and Dog Forums | Thread profile

We board Harley, so I was quite worried at first that it might be the place where we send him, but thankfully it's not. When we go away on holidays my sister and her fiance look after Abby, cause she's SO easy to look after, but Harley can be a nightmare at times, so we don't have much choice but to board him, as he needs someone experienced to look after him (at least he really enjoys going to the kennel).

that is just sickening.

That is so sad! At the boarding kennel where I worked for a short time everyone had an index card pinned to their kennel saying if they got along with other dogs ect... This really helped out and if a dog was missing we would have definatly known it. I am just appauled by that story.

Geez, that's awful! I can't believe anyone would be that irresponsible. I'm so sad for the owner and for the dog who died. Actually, I'm upset for the other two dogs too. That must have been terribley stressful for them aswell. I hope she gets some justice and, if not, some compensation. Cass.

That is absolutely awful I hope this story eventually comes out so people will find out the name of this boarding kennel - to not know a dog had died for days is disgraceful

how devastating, and I hope the kennel gets put out of business, they just don't deserve to hold a kennel license. How can two days go by before they discover the dog is dead, geez did they not feed and water the dog everyday? I know of another story where the kennel lost somebodies dog and it took alot of detective work to find the dog, about two weeks later and the person did not want to give it back until a "ransom"...

That is terrible. The poor owner was probably devastated.

That is shocking Swift, I'm so glad they are getting legal help. So many people do not take action, so I hope your firm is able to help out. Poor dog, that is not a way to go. A dog fight/mauling was not fully investigated and a missing dog was over looked...that is beyond explanation, I agree AVA. It's difficult enough to trust your dog with someone else but to have your dog killed due to pure disrespect for dog behavior and their...

How devastating that had to be for the owners and I do not blame them for sueing. I hope the people responsible get jail time and also never be allowed to own or work in another facility that has pets.
