shot records with you, or at minimum,

Pet owners should also
make sure a facility is
registered and licensed

Agriculture under the
auspices of the Animal
Control Act.
"Call around," recommends Lisa
Turner, owner of Fayetteville Pet
Resorts. "Take tours. There are things

experts?
"You don't want someone who's just
opened the doors (only) to make money.
This has been a passion for us for most
of our adult lives."
