Good Neighbor Follow Up

At the Neighborhood Meeting on December 9, a future neighbor expressed concern as to whether remediation steps were taken to clean up a spill that occurred in the building a few tenants ago and whether certification of the clean up is available.  We have followed up on the neighbor's concerns and provide a link to the 2007 report about the clean up for perusal.  This report was provided by the landlord and should set any long standing concerns at ease.http://www.docstoc.com/docs/21276031/?key=MWYzNmZjN2Qt&pass=ZjAxOC00NmU2

Announcing partnership with NEADS

Fenway Bark is very touched by the outreach of many of its future clients and the support we have received from so many as we work through permitting issues in South Boston.

We don't want to have the permitting situation distract us from communicating to you who we are, what we are about, and what we believe in.

Today we are pleased to share with you that we have a partnership with NEADS, an important organization that places dogs with deaf and disabled Americans.  NEADS has many important programs, one of which is to place specially trained dogs with combat veterans needing assistance.  To learn more, please see the  CBS news regarding NEADS.  You can also visit the NEADS website.

If, as a dog lover, you are looking for a meaningful charity to support this holiday season, we highly suggest you look further into NEADS as a charity worth supporting.

Happy Holidays from Jane, Jim, Corky, Mojo, Tasso, and Dutch!

WOW! Your response has been overwhelming!

We knew when we designed Fenway Bark that there was a demand for the services but it has been heartwarming and eyeopening to see the shear level of demand and interest in our business!  It is certainly every entrepreneur's dream.  Thank you, also, for joining our website at www.fenwaybarkonline.com

Unfortunately, we have to pass on taking reservations right now until we know what will happen at the location.  Please read the posting below this for steps you can take to encourage the politicians who may influence the outcome of the zoning Board of Appeals meeting that will be taking place this winter.  We appreciate any help you can offer. 

To the candidates we have interviewed for some of the positions, we will keep you posted as we learn more.  We value each and every one of you and wish we could move forward right now.  Please keep checking in on this blog for more details. To the one Southie we had to let go because of this zoning debacle, you are awesome and I hope to have you come back to work for us after this is over.

To those customers from whom we have already taken a reservation before this hurdle occurred, we will be reaching out to you individually this week to speak to you.   We will do our best to find an alternative solution for you within our network until we can open.

Happy Holidays Friends!

Jane
