Dog days shine over darkest hourssupplied Steph Scurr with Doggy Daycare visitors Jake and Duke. In 2005, after several unsatisfying retail jobs and volunteering around Nelson, Scurr joined the Nelson ARK and became a youth trustee before becoming a paid employee at ARK in 2009. Scurr said back in those days, Nelson had no such thing as a doggy daycare business, but ARK started one up to pay for the running of the organisation. It wasn't long before the doggy daycare part of the business was deemed not "viable" but two people saw potential in the up and coming service. Scurr and Colley have about 40 dogs a day, doing full days Monday to Friday.
