Kennels from $52 a night, all-inclusive (2026 rates) [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Owners of unneutered dogs often have to hunt for a kennel that will take them. Here the rule is simple and written on the kennel's own information page. ## The rule in the kennel's words The kennel's information page says it accepts all breeds of dogs and cats, neutered or intact. Dogs must be at least 16 weeks old before the first day, have the recommended vaccinations for their age and be in good health. ## How the runs work Each dog has its own indoor/outdoor run with a doggie door and a Kuranda bed. Dogs can see their neighbors through the fence but have their own space. Dogs from the same home may share a run at a lower rate for the second dog; a first dog is $52, $59 or $72 and each additional dog sharing is $44, $50 or $61, on the 2026 rates. ## Tell the kennel - Whether your dog is intact when you book - Whether a female is in or near heat; see [can you board a dog in heat](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/can-you-board-a-dog-in-heat/) - Any behaviors staff should know about - Your dog's age and size, so staff can suggest a run ## Booking Send a booking request through the Book / My Account link or call 707-678-6600. Vaccine records need to be on file and current through the end of the stay. See [intact](https://happypawskennels.com/glossary/intact/) for the term, or [do you take intact dogs](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-take-intact-dogs/) for the short answer. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels: important things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels: vaccination requirements](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccination-requirements/) ### 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.

Well treated heat and AC all is good. They send me photos of them and they're very very friendly staff. I highly recommend HAPPY PAWS to anyone. Marc B., Google review, August 2026 I love this place and so do the dogs. They offers tours, have A/C and/or heat. They always look and smell super clean. They even filter the indoor air. They email pics of them playing. I have 2 large breeds that share a 1st class kennel. They even offer treats and baths. So nice to have a place I trust. Everyone is...

Call [707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) (every day 7:30-11:30 AM and 2-5 PM) or see the [boarding FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/). ### Does Happy Paws board unneutered dogs? Yes. All breeds are accepted whether neutered or intact. ### Does an intact dog cost more? No. The 2026 rate sheet lists prices by kennel size, not by neuter status. ### Do I need to tell the kennel my dog is intact? Please do, when you book, so staff can plan the best run. ### Can an intact male share a run with a female? Dogs from the same home can share a run. Ask the front desk about your dogs.
