I am needing to find long term boarding while I am moving to a different state... I am nervous about choosing a place to board?

Hi there,

I am involved in a lengthy process to move from Texas to Northern Illinois. Currently I have my two elderly dachshunds with a dear friend, but need to move them up to be with me due to her circumstances. I need help in choosing a place for them, while I am getting our own place. Might take a month in a half at the moment. Any suggestions? I would like to choose a place and then prepay some funds in advance and pay for their stay, but due to my circumstances, I do not know where to go.... Any advice? Thanks
