Kristi's Animal Ark boards dogs and cats for short or extended periods.

The SBDC was contacted to assist in developing a business plan and do a reverse cash analysis for the possible purchase of the animal Ark. Kristi worked in the boarding business for the previous owners for over 8 years and was more than happy to purchase the business.

Kristi expanded the number of pens available to use, to fifty. When asked what sets her apart from her competition Kristi stated that she gets to know everyone of her guests on a personal level. She takes each one out of their pen twice a day and spends time with them.
