Floofsters, a doggy daycare where all profits go towards an animal charity, was an idea Latesha Hearth had about five years ago.
After starting The Values Trust and becoming a board member at Helping You Help Animals (HUHA), Latesha felt it made perfect sense to support all the amazing work they do across the country.
“We like to think of it as supporting animal welfare from both sides of the spectrum; a safe, happy place for beloved pets to play, which then funds care for at-risk dogs that need our love as well,” said Cindy Randall, centre manager.
“Doggy daycare has become more needed by working pet parents, so why not have the profits go to animal welfare. Donations are harder to expect from people in this climate, so profits from a service are so much more practical, a total win-win. From desexing campaigns to supporting their dog shelter and community vet services, there is so much in the HUHA projects pipeline that we can’t wait for Floofsters to contribute to!”
Cindy described a typical day for a dog at Floofsters as ‘Play, sniff, nap – repeat.’
Once the pets have been dropped off in the morning, they head outside for playtime and zoomies. Then it’s group naptime at midday, with relaxing music playing, snuggles, and stories read.
Recharged, they head back outside for more fun, agility time, water play and chill until pick-up time.
“They love running on platforms, and the sandpit is a hit, too! They also love being outside and running around on the grass with their friends. The couches in the chill zones are also very popular.”
