A small, older community
Dunnigan has about 540 people in 331 households. The median age is 66.6 and none of the households has children under 18. About 59 percent of homes are owner-occupied, and median household income is about $29,200. The median home value is $155,800, and 58 percent of homes were built in 2000 or later.

Pets that are family
For households without children, the dog or cat often is the family. Boarding for a hospital stay, a medical trip or a long visit away can be stressful, and a calm, clean kennel helps. Read boarding during a hospital stay.
Medications are given at no extra charge, and walks are included in the nightly rate.
Budget and long-term options
Economy is $52 a night on the 2026 rates, $47 for a stay of 14 nights or more. A 14-night Economy stay for one dog is 14 x $47 = $658. Cats are $35 a night. If you need more than four weeks, a card on file is charged every two weeks in advance.
What to bring
Almost nothing but your pet. One toy that is not the favorite, a slow-feeder bowl if your dog uses one, and medications in their original container are enough. Metal pinch (prong) collars come off before check-in, and your own food is welcome at no charge in the original bag with amounts in cups. See what to bring.

What pet owners say
I love their great caring team. Highly recommended.
Happy paws always takes really good care of our fur-child. Our doggo had bad pancreatitis earlier this year that put her on a super specific diet. They accommodated us with no issues.
