Beaufort Dog has hurricane plan
Beaufort Dog announced their hurricane policy in early August so that owners traveling could rest assured in leaving beloved family members while on vacation. Owner Kelley Blackston wanted to make sure that not only were no dogs ever left during a storm, but that owners would never have to worry while away.  Beaufort Dog has a comprehensive hurricane evacuation plan that involves notifying owners when a voluntary evacuation has been declared as well as transferring dogs that can not be picked up to a safe location in the upper state of S.C. For more details on Beaufort Dog’s training, day care, grooming, and boarding, please call (843)812-5394 or visit www.BeaufortDog.com.
