“We want to help those in our community affected by this horrible event so that they can get back on their feet without having to worry about their furry companions,” Jennifer Cheng, owner of Happy Dogs, said in a statement.
Cheng’s company, Happy Dogs, is providing residents of the affected building a three-night stay for their pups in a cageless boarding facility, while pet salon Downtown Doghouse is offering to clean up dogs and get them all spruced up before heading off to Downtown Veterinary Medical Hospital. The vets at the facility will examine each pet and check for issues arising from smoke inhalation.
