Help Waggin' Tailz Keep Tails Waggin'!
Donation protected
First - thank you so much to all who have donated to this GoFundMe page. I appreciate all of you, so much!
Please help our local independent dog daycare facility!
The people at Waggin' Tailz Ranch & Day Spa are the most amazing people. They love the dogs they care for - and they treat them like family. They've given so much to our community - and now they need our help. They are at risk of losing everything through no fault of their own. They've been there for us. Now it's time for us to be there for them!
Two months ago, Melissa and her team had the rug pulled out from under them. They were told that the building that housed their business for 13 years - a doggie daycare facility - had been sold and they had 45 days to find a new location, sign a lease and move.
It takes months for most businesses to find the right location. Imagine trying to find a new location for a dog kennel and daycare facility in less than 45 days. They worked day and night to find a location, get their permits and move their equipment - and, were just informed by the city that the building now needs more drains.
They spent all of their savings finding the property, retrofitting it to accommodate the kennel and daycare needs and have had no income over the past 60 days. Please, please contribute if you can.
Background:
To fully appreciate how deserving Melissa and her team at Waggin' Tailz Ranch & Day Spa are, you need to know what they've been through. Melissa has operated Waggin' Tailz Ranch & Day Spa for 13 years and owned the business for eight. The business grew, year over year through March 2019 when COVID hit. Within six months, the business income dropped by almost 75%. Melissa fought hard against closing her business - and managed to stay open and retain many of her employees - by exhausting her savings. She thought the worst had passed as COVID cases declined, and many of her loyal customers returned as they started back to work. Waggin' Tailz Ranch & Day Spa is a great business with a bright future ahead of it. They just needs some financial help to get through this last hurdle.
Waggin' Tailz Ranch & Day Spa is an eight-year Honor Roll member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). They have never received a fine, citation, or complaint from the city, county, or state. Melissa and her team have donated tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to local nonprofits. They are a good neighbor to the surrounding community. Melissa, the owner, cares deeply about her employees, the animals they care for, the local community and the people who rely on their services.
Melissa is almost out of options. She has no other resources or source of income. An unexpected financial hit like this is tough on anyone - especially following the COVID pandemic.
