One road to the kennel

The Woodland route is Highway 113 south for 15.2 miles, a short stretch of Interstate 80 and then the country road to Midway. The 25-minute estimate has no traffic in it, so allow extra time on farm roads.

Check-out is by 11:30 AM; an afternoon pick-up from 2:00 to 5:00 PM is charged at half of the nightly fee.

If you travel around the winter holidays or in summer, look at the Thanksgiving and summer vacation pages early.

Licenses and the county shelter

Dogs need a current rabies vaccine and a local license. The kennel needs the same rabies record before a first stay.

Cats, day care and the Historic District

Woodland cats stay in four-level towers at $35 a night; see cat boarding near Woodland. Dog day care is $38 a day on the Woodland day care page.

Payment and long stays

The balance is paid at pick-up. For stays longer than four weeks, the card on file is charged every two weeks in advance. From 14 nights the rate drops to $65 in First Class, $53 in Business Class and $47 in Economy on the 2026 rates, and the military rate is the same reduced price. That structure suits a Woodland owner who is away for a month at a time.

Run sizes for Woodland dogs

Economy runs are 4x4 ft inside plus about 48 sq ft outside and suit several small or medium dogs or one large dog. Business Class is 5x6 ft inside with about 60 outside, good for a pair of large dogs or a dog who does not like to share. First Class is 6x8 ft with about 72 outside, for extra-large dogs or a whole litter of Chihuahuas. Every run is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer.
