It is part of the agreement, and it comes without compensation. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Many owners love seeing their pet's picture. The release simply gives the kennel permission to use it. ## What it says The owner lets the kennel use photographs and video of the pet from a stay in print or web publications, edit them, and keep them. The owner receives no payment. The agreement states that the Pet Photo Release Form is part of the agreement. The wording is about the pet; if you have a concern about a particular use, ask before signing. ## Where photos might appear Photos can appear on the website and in printed pieces, since the release covers print and web publications. The site's photo galleries are built from the kennel's own images, and reviewers often mention photos during the stay. Stock images on this site are never labeled as guests of the kennel. The release covers the pet's image, not your name or contact details. ## Extras that make pictures The kennel sells picture play sessions as an add-on: an additional session is $14.99 per kennel, and a bubble picture play session is $19.99. See [picture play sessions](https://happypawskennels.com/extras/picture-play-sessions/) and [what is a picture play session](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-picture-play-session/). Call 707-678-6600 to ask what is included in your stay. ## Questions and changes If you want to limit use, say so when you fill out the agreement or write to the kennel. Because the agreement stays in effect until revoked in writing, changes need to be written. Related: [boarding agreement](https://happypawskennels.com/glossary/boarding-agreement/) and [do you send photos](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-send-photos/). ## Taking your own photos The release is about the kennel's use of images. It does not stop you from asking for a picture of your pet, or from taking your own at a tour or at pick-up. If you want regular pictures during a stay, ask about picture play sessions. Bear in mind that the staff are busy at the counter, so a request in advance is easier to honor than one at check-out. The gallery pages show the kennel's own photos of dogs, buildings and grounds: [photo gallery](https://happypawskennels.com/photo-gallery/). ## Privacy The kennel states that it does not share your email. The release covers images of the pet and does not hand over your contact details. For how this website handles data, see the [privacy policy](https://happypawskennels.com/privacy-policy/). ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels boarding agreement (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Happy-Paws-Boarding-Agreement.pdf) - [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.
