Thanks to S. for spotting this: A doggy day care spot, Pups@Play, is opening on Duane between Church and Broadway — formerly the Wynd Shipping office, and before that, Capital Electronics. J. had heard the rumor weeks ago, but I didn’t dig for more info. (I am thinking now this use needs a license, and could have been looked up. James?)
The company has two spots in New Jersey and was founded by a local, second generation vet in Livingston; from what I can see this is the first NYC location. They offer all sorts of pet health and wellness services: vet care, personalized playtime, outdoor walks, grooming, boarding and more.
More TK when they open.
They have been posting signs all over the neighborhood – on mail boxes, garbage cans, etc. Not the kind of start that makes me want to support their business. Sorry!
I know these guys from NJ. They are amazing!
