Kennel Tour

The pictures below are of the interior and exterior of the kennels.  We have two  kennel buildings each building contains those Individual Indoor/Outdoor runs we spoke of.  Each pet is has his/her own area.  We never double up dogs from different families.

Regular run is 3 x 5, the outdoor run is 3 x 10.  All runs are 6 foot high, there are some covered for climbers. Note: There are several runs that have privacy panels on both sides. This run does not, designed for families with multiple pets they want separated, but side by side so they can see each other

A roof covers all the outdoor portion of the runs to protect from rain, sun, and privacy fencing for privacy and wind break  During comfortable weather conditions the dogs are free to go in or out at will, which is anytime the temps are above 60 degrees
