Annabell Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 My Husband and I are thinking of working a ski season in the French Alps for 4 months to tide us over through the winter.We have two labradors and two kittens that will need looking after.Does anybody know of kennels in the 50,53,35 area which would be willing to take them on for so long or are there any pet lovers out there who would like some company in the winter months.Obviously our best solution would be to take them with us, but its not allowed I'm afraid.Thank you in advance.

Thinlizzy Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi AnnabellHave you tried Acorn Kennels in Buais. I was very pleased with them and their rates seemed quite reasonable. Details are in the Post Links forum.CheersLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Anne, If you're going down to the Alps why not spread the net a bit further and see if there is anyone on your route that could give you a good deal. Possibly even somewhere near to where you will be working, then you could go and visit them!Coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously can't understand why they can't go home again when you leave.I would always insist on owners checking out our kennels before they leave their animals, so they know exactly where they will be staying etc., and although it may sound harsh I discourage owners from visiting their pets whilst here as it really can cause distress once they leave again.Anne, I hope our revised rates were of interest to you, but I fully understand if you want to try and find somewhere nearer to where you will be staying.Good luckEmma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you particularly want your pets to go boarding or could someone possible stay in their own house and look after them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
