Tails & Toe Beans, LLC | Application Preview
Tails & Toe Beans, LLC (TTB) is seeking a $10,000 government grant to make strategic upgrades aimed at supporting its long-term growth into a leading regional pet care facility. The funding would be used for critical infrastructure improvements, including advanced flooring for better sanitation, a water purification system to provide clean drinking water from their well, energy-efficient air purification and climate control systems, upgraded and safer play equipment, and eco-friendly cleaning services and supplies.
Currently reinvesting most of its revenue into operations, TTB is at a pivotal moment. With these improvements, the business will enhance health and safety conditions for pets and staff while aligning its practices with environmental standards. These upgrades will also increase client trust, improve operational resilience, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Over the next five years, TTB plans to grow into “TTB 2.0”—a purpose-built facility offering expanded services, including structured daycare enrichment programs like agility training and scent work. The vision includes combining boarding, grooming, and enrichment in one sustainable, community-focused location. This growth will create new local jobs and set a higher standard for pet care in the area.
In a competitive market that includes facilities offering overlapping services, TTB stands out through its holistic approach, combining health-focused offerings, enrichment-based daycare, and a mission-driven commitment to sustainability. The proposed grant will not only strengthen TTB’s foundation but also support its evolution into a premier pet care destination with measurable community impact.

Business Plan
Over the next five years, Tails & Toe Beans (TTB) aims to transition from a small, growing facility into a purpose-built destination for safe, healthy, and enrichment-focused pet care. While our current financial reality has required reinvestment of nearly all revenue into payroll, taxes, and basic operations, strategic grant support and careful planning will allow us to build long-term stability and expand our impact. In the near term, the $10,000 grant will fund critical upgrades to strengthen our foundation: advanced sanitation and flooring, a filtered water system for our well, eco-friendly air purification and climate control, sustainable deep-cleaning supplies, and safe play and boarding equipment. These improvements will create a safer, cleaner, and more environmentally responsible facility, instilling greater confidence in pet parents while improving health outcomes for dogs in our care. Looking ahead, TTB 2.0 will grow into a premier, enrichment-forward center. We plan to add structured daycare enrichment services—including scent work, agility activities, seasonal adventures, and small-group play—to provide both mental stimulation and physical exercise. By combining these services with upgraded infrastructure, we will deliver a holistic pet care experience that exceeds industry standards. By year five, our goal is to operate in a purpose-built facility designed specifically for our model: integrating daycare, boarding, grooming, and enrichment with sustainable practices. This expansion will allow us to increase capacity, create new jobs, and continue reinvesting in the community we serve. With grant support, TTB 2.0 will not only remain financially stable but also set a new standard for compassionate, safe, and innovative dog care in our region. Tails & Toe Beans has quickly built a loyal client base by providing high-quality daycare, boarding, and grooming services in a safe, structured, and enrichment-focused environment. The demand for our services continues to grow, but our current capacity and financial constraints limit how much we can serve. Investment in TTB means supporting a proven model in a resilient industry, with clear potential to expand into TTB 2.0 — a purpose-built facility designed to increase capacity, add enrichment services, and set a new regional standard for dog care. Beyond financial growth, an investment in TTB is an investment in community well-being. Our services directly improve the lives of pets and families, create local jobs, and integrate environmentally-conscious practices like filtered water systems and eco-friendly cleaning. As mission-driven owners reinvesting nearly all income back into operations, we are committed to building long-term stability and impact. With support, TTB is positioned to grow into the premier pet care destination in our region.

Self Identified Competition
1. Boondock Boarding and Rescue LLC Located just outside Willard, this business offers a combination of dog boarding, grooming, and daycare services. It provides a one-stop pet care solution that overlaps with several of TTB’s offerings, especially in grooming and overnight services. 2. Braemar Boarding Kennel Serving Willard and surrounding areas, Braemar is known for its pet boarding and grooming services. With a solid local reputation, it competes with TTB in those service areas, though it doesn’t appear to offer structured daycare or enrichment programming. 3. Whoof & Wag Grooming Salon A grooming-focused business located in Willard, Whoof & Wag specializes in pet grooming services.

Focused on Enrichment & Health: With planned offerings like scent work, agility, and wellness-focused upgrades (e.g., filtered water and eco-friendly systems), TTB is positioned to provide uniquely elevated care.
