Personal Items 

Do not bring items with your dog(s) that are valuable or irreplaceable. Due to space constraints, unfortunately we cannot accommodate personal bedding and bowls. We aim to provide bedding to all of the pets staying with us. However if your pet is a shredder of blankets or bedding, they may not receive any besides a kuranda bed and/or cot in their boarding reservation. One Bed is allowed from home for our Luxury boarders only. In addition, due to the number of guests we may have at any one time, staff cannot guarantee the safety of your pet with items left in their run unattended, and therefore no kongs, toys, etc may be left with guests. Pleasant Paw Pet Center is not responsible for loss or damage to any personal item, including bedding or toys, left with or for your dog(s).

Abandoned Dog/Animal Procedure 

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, if you fail to pick up your dog(s) by the designated time and have failed to make satisfactory alternative arrangements with Pleasant Paw Pet Center, Pleasant Paw Pet Center will continue to provide basic service to ensure the animal’s health and safety, and charges will continue to accrue. Pleasant Paw Pet Center will make best efforts to contact you using the information you provided, advising you that if your pet(s) is not picked up within a reasonable time period, your pet(s) will be deemed to be abandoned and that Pleasant Paw Pet Center will deliver the pet(s) to a third-party adoption partner or to Newtown Animal Control. You understand that you may lose ownership of your pet(s) under these circumstances. If you fail to pick up your pet(s) for any reason, you release Pleasant Paw Pet Center from all further liability and responsibility for your pet(s).
