Thriving Dutchess County kennel business offering boarding and grooming for nearly half a century. The owners are considering retirement and would like to pass along the business to a new operator. The offering includes the kennel structure, two single family homes (one tenant occupied and one owner-occupied), and a 1.6 acre parcel suitable for another single family home or potential expansion of the business. The structures are on 3 parcels totaling approximately 7.5 acres. The kennel facility is comprised of three fully heated and air conditioned buildings and the yard is surrounded by a security fence. The owners reside on the premises. The business is owner operated with 5 additional part time employees. 63 dog kennels and 15 cat/small dog kennels. Drop-off and pick-up hours are 3:30-6:00. The business typically operates on a waiting list during summer and holidays. The property has been meticulously maintained over many years of ownership. Notes on the business: All dogs have an indoor/outdoor run. Their inside space is 5'x5' with a doggie door that takes them to their private 12-14' run. There are larger kennels to accommodate larger double boarders and giant breeds. They have access to both inside and out from 7 am til 9 pm. At night all dogs are brought inside to minimize noise in the residential area we are set in. All cats have an individual space, 4'x4' with a built in scratching post and window seat. Free exercise for dogs is done individually with a staff member- no pet is left unattended while out to run. Business financials are available with a signed Non-Disclosure and proof of funds or confirmation of buyers intended financing options.
