I always appreciate the opportunity to write about businesses which are not only successful in this difficult economic environment, but are actually growing.
That’s the case for Ruff Day Resort, a daycare and overnight resort for dogs. Owner Amy Holtz opened her first location on Empire Blvd. eight years ago. It didn’t take too long to outgrow that space, and not long ago she moved to a much larger location on Gravel Rd. in Webster, pretty much across the street from Abbott’s.
The new Gravel Rd. location features more than 5,800 sq. ft. of mud-free K9 grass. Inside there’s 8,000 sq. ft. of play area, training and boarding space. There’s also a luxury boarding area with luxury studio apartments, offering a real dog vacation area.
On Saturday April 13, the pup-loving community is invited as Amy celebrates her Spring Fling Grand Re-opening Party and fundraiser for homeless pets from 10 a.m. to noon with tours of the facility, adoptable puppies/dogs from local rescues, refreshments, snacks, photos, prizes and more.
Special guests at the event include New 2 U Rescue, North Paw Rescue, RocDog, Lucabear & Friends Pet Photography, NY Sugar Art, Stop the 22, Mouse Vacation Planning and others. All proceeds from the day will be donated to RocDog, North Paw and New 2 U, nonprofit organizations dedicated to alleviating the plight of homeless and abandoned companion animals.
Can’t make the party? You can also check out the facility when Ruff Day hosts a Community Pet CPR event on Sunday April 7 at 2 p.m. Click here for more details about that.
