PALM
HARBOR, FL -- Tonya Rainbolt says it wasn't easy finding a condo complex
where she and her dog Sasha could live, "Yes tons of places would not
even accept my dog, so it was nice to find a group of people, lot of dog
owners are here." Tonya decided to buy a place at Madison Oaks
because it's pet friendly, "When you take walks you have the little
areas to pick up after your dog it's just really convenient."
Madison Oaks spokesperson John Heagney says being pet friendly is part of
a new marketing strategy to attract more buyers, "What we found from
experience is that a lot of the people who either requested information or
are considering a place to buy, there's a consideration of whether or not
we accept pets, was a very very strong element of their buying
decision."
At Madison Oaks, the dog park is a big attraction. Even in the model
homes, you can bet any dog will feel comfortable in this doggie furniture,
"Canine chic so the owners can see how well the dogs fit in and have
fun with it as well."
It's also a way to beat out their dog gone competition, "One of the
market segments that we feel is important to keeping our sales
going."
Tonya says she and Sahsa feel right at home, "I've met people who
introduced me to a vet, I've got a little clique going we meet at the
park, it's nice. We have friends, Sasha has plenty of friends on property
too."
