PET BOARDING BLESSINGS
Jason and Christina Collier are excited to begin a new adventure, "Pet Boarding Blessings" at 109 N. Washington St., Crawfordsville, which will be opening soon, but no opening date just yet.
They will open at half capacity which is five kennels that will be somewhat bigger than state regulations.
They will also be able to board cats and will be opening with one small catio, which is an enclosed outdoor space for cats to play, eat and sleep.
They will also offer microchipping. Their daughter, Lexi will have a groom room where she will be able to continue grooming.
The other Collier children, Izzie, Jeremy and Jessup will also be helping in some areas.
Christina is also the owner of Doodle Blessings and is a breeder of mini-Golden Doodles since late 2018 and has sold to 18 states, with many customers returning for their second puppy.
