Temporary Pet Boarding in Arizona Helps Families in Crisis: Blueberry’s Family

Sep 9, 2024

We’ve got a feel-good story to share with you featuring this cute-as-can-be, 105-pound doggo named Blueberry! Temporary pet boarding in Arizona helps families in crisis–including this pet family!

When Blueberry’s family was told by their landlord that the home they were renting had been sold out from under them, they had to move out…quickly.

Scrambling to find a new place to live, the family gathered everything they had, scraped together their savings, and were fortunate enough to find a new place. Phew! Almost…

The problem was that their new rental agreement had a breed restriction.

And Blueberry, their animal companion, was absolutely not allowed to live there.

What happened next?

Despite their best efforts, the family was going to have to be separated, because there was no way they were going to give Blueberry up.

Knowing their dog, Blueberry, was not welcome, and they had nowhere else to go, Blueberry’s human decided they would live together in the car. The rest of their family was living in their new rental.

His best bud, Blueberry, is like a child to him, and he would do anything and everything to keep his family together! But they knew living in their car would only be an option for so long, especially with temperatures ratcheting up quickly.

After all their hard work, their family was back to square one and looking for a new place to live.

Again.

Thankfully, that’s when we connected with this family!
