Shantz Station kennel approved

More of a doggy daycare than a traditional kennel, a new venture near Breslau won approval this week for a kennel licence from Woolwich Township.

Councillors meeting Tuesday night OK’d an application from Sabrina Corbeil to use an existing facility at 2137 Shantz Station Rd. as a daycare for up to 25 dogs. The operation will run during the day, with no breeding or overnight boarding of animals.

Corbeil said the focus will be on small dogs, which will be kept inside for the most part, taking advantage of the amenities of the former veterinary setup on the large property. That assuaged councilors about any potential noise concerns due to the large number of dogs onsite.
