Patchy mcpatcherson
Patchy Mc Patcherson, a hound mix, was hit by a car and had to have his right front leg amputated while his owner, Chris, was on the Mainland in training for deployment.
I am writing you to let you know how much you have touched my life in the last couple of weeks. There are no words that can express my gratitude for all of the love and care that you have shown myself, Chris, and especially Patchy. I know the journey isn't over yet, but I wanted to let you know that Patchy wouldn’t have been able to have such a successful and speedy recovery without all of you.
You guys are the true meaning of love and caring. With absolutely no notice or hesitation, you took in Patchy who was on the brink of death, and in a very difficult situation with his daddy being deployed. I had no idea who to turn to and what I was going to do. You not only took in Patchy in less than 24 hours notice, but you cared for his medical needs, took him to his vet appointments, gave him specialized love and care. And on top of all of that, you called to give me updates every day, some times more than once a day.
Adding to all of the love, care, and support that you gave not only to Patchy, but also Chris and I, you have found Patchy a Foster home with Dogs on Deployment, and are arranging for a flight for him to Washington to be near family. Knowing that there are people out there who can love so unconditionally to complete strangers, is such a beautiful thing. It touches my heart knowing that there are people in the world that are as kind, loving, and hard working as all of you are. From the bottom of my heart, a HUGE thank you! And forever grateful,

When I decided to accept a job in Iraq, I was very excited about the position, but worried and sad to think about my dogs and where they could possibly stay for such an extended time. My oldest dog, Puppy, was 13, soon to be 14 (and now almost 15 at the time I am writing this), and had rarely spent a night away from me. My girl, Sadie, was glued to my side and so skittish with other people. My little dog, Chico, was a ham, I knew he would be ok wherever he would be. I was worried about someone being able to accommodate them, the stress of having them separated (most kennels don't have the space to permit so many dogs together, who would be the odd one out?) ?) I knew from the minute I called Affordable Animal Boarding that this would be the place for my dogs. They immediately put me at ease about my worries: the length of time, the number of pets and the cost. I decided to begin boarding them about 2 weeks before my deployment so that I could stop in and visit them, help them (and me) with the transition. As I drove away, they watched me, ran panicking, and crying. I was in tears. I waited until the next day to stop in for a visit. They were so excited to see me, and me them. They were already comfortable playing in the yard and had favorite toys to bring me. By my third visit, it was a whole other story. They jumped and were so excited to see me, for a minute or so. But they had already made their friends and were busy to get back to their playtime. I still stopped in for the next week, but I could already see the dogs were adjusted and happy.
A year into the deployment, I was able to go home for a visit. The dogs were so excited, they stood there barking at me (happy barks) and shaking, I am sure they couldn't believe their eyes. I was very happy to see them, they looked so good and healthy. Sadie was so much more courageous (ok, she is actually quite bossy now), my old dog was running around and playing with so much more energy and looking more healthy than he had in years, and Chico was still my happy little ham. While I was sitting with the dogs, Barb and Lynn came into the play yard, and would you believe the dogs left my lap to go sit with them. I know some people might be hurt by that, but it made me happy to know that they saw them as family, that they did not feel as though they were alone. This was their other home and they had more moms to take care of them. I was able to return to Iraq to finish out my 18 months without worry or concern, and was even happy to imagine them living it up in their little corner of paradise.
I would highly recommend Affordable Animal Boarding to anyone who needed to take a short or very long trip away. They truly take care of your pets with love and attention. Your pets will enjoy their play dates away, and you can relax to enjoy yours.

When our grandpa passed away, we had no placed to stay, as our mommy had to sell our home. She found a place for herself, however, management would not accept us. Heart broken, she frantically searched the web and searched through the yellow pages. All praise and glory to God who answered her prayers and touched her with “Affordable Animal Boarding”. They not only took care of us but our mommy too. She no longer worried about us as we were in doggie camp. The price fit into her budget which also made her smile. After five months and 20 days we were reunited with our mommy, however, we will always remember our family at “Affordable Animal Boarding”. To our friends, when you need a place, go with the best “Affordable Animal Boarding.”

I have used Affordable Pet Boarding since I moved to the island 2 years ago, and will not take my two babies anywhere else. They are always so loving and caring when I drop them off and make it a good experience for both dogs. My large dog does not like to be dropped off anywhere and it can be very traumatic for both dogs and myself, but at A.A.B. the dogs feel comfortable and relaxed and we can leave for our trip with out constant worry about the dogs. Also, they are affordable just like the name says. They let my two dogs stay in the same run to make the dogs feel more at ease and also to cut cost for myself. I will not board anywhere else on the island.

Our three babies absolutely love going there! When the staff comes to pick them up they can hardly contain themselves and try to jump in the back of the pick-up. Their prices are reasonable, they’ve always accommodated our scheduling needs, they provide us with pick-up and drop off service, and our dogs come back happy. What more could a pet owner ask for?! Thanks Affordable Animal Boarding for taking care of our babies when we’re away!!!

Our dog and cat enjoyed their stay with you and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care you provided. It really allowed me peace of mind while I was away.
