Dog & Cat Units Are Just The Right Size
Large Dog Units
Our large dog units are sized to board one or two dogs or 3-4 small dogs but the pets must be from the same home. There is a doggie door that remains open (to their patio) during the nice weather and it is closed at night. On this 14' run dogs are allowed to visit through a chain link fence.
Small Dog Units
Our small dog units are sized for one or two small dogs from the same home. Their doggie door opens to a wire covered run that is the same size as their unit. This size was decided upon due to the size they would make their den - if they were in the wild. The bigger the den the more to protect which would cause more stress.
Kitties Enjoy Their Units Next to a Sliding Door
An Upstairs Bedroom
We don't allow kitties out of their room once they are here. We do pet them, scratch around their head and play with them a couple of times per day. Cats like to be on high levels so this bedroom on a second level is just what they would order.
A Cubby on The Loft
When placing toys on the loft the kitties like to bat them around, falling to the floor. They get them and back up to the loft for a do-over. It's not unusual to catch the kitties rolling around on their perch, hoping that you will come along to offer a belly rub.
Activities, for Nominal Fees
Gracie @ Play Time
We have a huge play area divided into sections so the dogs can be out there at the same time. They can communicate only through the fence. They are off leash but we stay with them. The most sought after toy is a skanky, pitiful, deflated basket ball. All the dogs favor this toy when they visit play time. It's just a dog thing that humans don't understand.....
Yoshie @ The Pond
The dogs love the frog activity at the pond. They attempt to sneak up on the frogs but the frogs out smart them. On occasion a frog will jump over the dog's head. The dog is shocked and attempts to catch the frog, but finds that jumping into the air after the frog will only cause a huge splash with the dog going under water. Very amusing for humans.....
Ruger @ the Pond
You may have a beach where you are but that doesn't compare to the pond swim your buddy will enjoy. We will toss a "chuck it" over & over for the dogs to retrieve. They get so much good exercise while at the pond. And... what is better than to stand next to the human and shake the water from your coat....
...And More

Cooper @ a Paddle Boat Tour
The Nature Walk is probably the most enjoyed activity for the dogs. They love the one-on-one attention and the many scents of nature.
We offer an ABBY LANE Walk too....
This walk is great for puppies or elderly dogs. It's named after our puppy, Abby,
who did not make it past 7mos old... :(

The Paddle Boat Tour is quality time spent with your little pal. Back & forth and around the pond a few times is all it takes to entertain them - especially the little dogs.

Another section of the Nature Walk brings your best friend to fields of hay, wheat & corn. The wild life hangs out here often due to these fields, apples trees and a drinking hole... What a life..!
More About the Kennel
Yes...that is a real rainbow
A former horse barn, the kennel is located just outside the city of Auburn NY. It sits on 144 acres of country land and is a site that both you and your dog will enjoy.
The kennel opened its doors in 2005 for breeding of Golden Retrievers which has since been suspended . Then, what was intended to some day be a retirement job turned out to be more than a full time job when we added boarding, activities and services for dogs.
" I guess that is OK when you love what you do"
There are windows, ceiling fans, air conditioners and heat radiant, ceramic tile floors. Doggie doors provide in/out interest in the nice weather. Extra doors and gates have been added to the building to keep your furry friend secure....
just in case.... :)
