Kansas SBDC
Post Rock Pet Boarding LLC of Hays, has been recognized as the 2021 Emerging Business of the Year for the Kansas Small Business Development Center at Fort Hays State University.
In the summer of 2017, Heather Holliman-Pope and Kylie Sander noticed the Hays community had an increasing demand for small animal boarding and found an opportunity to create a place that provided a clean and comfortable environment.
“We designed and built our facility to specifically meet and exceed the needs of our boarders,” said Holliman-Pope and Sander.
Holliman-Pope and Sander reached out to Rick Feltenberger, Regional Director for the Kansas SBDC at Fort Hays State University, seeking assistance with business planning, real-world experiences and financial advice.
“We feel like Rick [and the SBDC] offered us real life expectations, advice and encouragement to succeed,” Sander said. “We continue to learn a tremendous amount about business and finance and feel like Rick helped us develop a foundation that we can build on. As our business and world changes, we have the resources and knowledge to change with it.”
Post Rock offers overnight housing for a variety of animals ranging from dogs to the occasional rabbit. Other services include bathing, nail trims, and ear cleanings.
