“We mostly get a lot of dogs and cats,” hotel manager Becky Powers said. “But, we also take pocket pets too, so we take bunnies, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters – that sort of thing.”

Powers said the new location is a welcome upgrade for both the pets and the staff members. With so many amenities for the animals, she said the upgrade provides so much in terms of important luxuries offered to the animals.

“There’s so many important things about this location,” Powers said. “One of the nice features is the outdoor camp yards, and the water splash park, which will be running when the weather is nice.”

“We also have the luxury boarding now, which is kind of fun and fancy. That has the DVD players and the web cams that you can FaceTime with your dogs which is fun,” she added.

During the grand opening event, animal lovers and their pets will be able to tour the custom-built 9,000 square foot facility and take part in festivities such as pet portraits with digital downloads, treats from the Best Friends Treat truck as well as refreshments for all guests and other planned activities.
