Commissioners approved a dog boarding and training facility in the Wadena County board meeting on Feb. 2. The facility can have a maximum of 25 dogs.
Owners Mark and Jaclyn Rice plan to begin with a six kennel building which can expand to 12 kennels, as well as an additional building of 12 kennels depending on the demand. The facility in Aldrich township, (Section 27, Township 134 north, range 34 west), will also include fencing and trees to limit noise. Both the fencing and trees must be added by June 2023. The surrounding areas are farm fields, according to the Rices.
