[City of Vallejo - Animal Sheltering](https://www.cityofvallejo.net/residents/city_services/animal_care_services/animal_sheltering) Sources: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap (free-flow, no traffic)](https://project-osrm.org/); pet households = ACS households x AVMA 2024 shares (an estimate, not a count). Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time. Elmira is a small unincorporated community about 20 minutes from the kennel. ## Quick facts - About 20 minutes and 9.4 miles from Elmira - Mostly local roads and Highway 113 - Tours any day 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM ## A short country drive Elmira is about 9.4 miles from the kennel. The estimate of 20 minutes covers 4 miles on Highway 113 and the rest on country roads including Hawkins Road, so a tractor or a crop truck can add time. Treat 20 minutes as a no-traffic number. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, with an afternoon pick-up from 2:00 to 5:00 PM at half of the nightly fee. ## Tiny community, real pet households The Census counts about 320 people in about 146 households in the Elmira area, all in single-family homes. National AVMA shares suggest about 70 households with a dog and 50 with a cat. These are estimates from a very small population and could be off by a good margin, so read them as a general sense of scale. With so few households, Elmira sits close to Vacaville and Dixon, which is where the [Elmira day care page](https://happypawskennels.com/areas/elmira/dog-day-care/) comes in for working days away. ## Ranch and farm dogs Working and ranch dogs are often used to being outside, and they tend to do well in a run that lets them choose between the heated or air-conditioned inside and the outside area. Large dogs fit comfortably in Business Class (5x6 ft inside, $59 a night) or First Class (6x8 ft, $72). A bath before pick-up is a common request after a stay for dogs that live on dusty land; ask for the quote because it depends on size and coat. ## Who to call locally Animal control for unincorporated Solano County is reached through the Solano County Sheriff dispatch line, (707) 421-7090 (City of Vallejo animal services page). Keep your pet's rabies certificate handy; the kennel needs it before the first night. ## Booking and arrival You can request a stay online or by phone at 707-678-6600, and the kennel confirms every reservation. On arrival, leave your pet in the car; staff carry belongings and walk your pet in. One toy is plenty, and metal pinch (prong) collars should be removed. Because you are close, you can stop in for a tour any day from 9 to 11 AM or 2 to 4 PM before you book, with no appointment. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5) - [City of Vallejo - animal sheltering](https://www.cityofvallejo.net/residents/city_services/animal_care_services/animal_sheltering) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.

Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended. Tim N., Google review, April 2026 Just picked up my pup Loki from a 4 day stay, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We cannot be more happy with the level of care and pictures uploaded while we were away. Loki even got a bath before pick up! Which I highly recommend. We plan to use them whenever we have the need.
