The project took just over two years, and it added to the original building that has stood since 1971.
The timeline
The kennel broke ground on September 24, 2020. Construction updates in August 2021 and August 2022 tracked the power, the water tank, inspections and finishing work, including the electrical inspection before ceiling tiles went in. The building opened on October 5, 2022, and a grand opening celebration followed.
What is in it
Two buildings joined like a T. The front building holds the lobby, the cattery, a feed room, an office and a public restroom. The kennel building has 50 indoor and 50 outdoor runs, with fire sprinklers, HVAC and epoxy floors. Ten of the runs are First Class and forty are Business Class.
The original building
The 1971 building continues in use as Economy class, so the kennel today has all three classes: First Class, Business Class and Economy. Dogs staying in the older runs and dogs in the newer ones are cared for under the same routines, with the same food, the same walks and the same medication policy at no extra charge. The nightly rate depends on the class you choose, not on which building a run sits in.
Where to read more
The kennel kept a log of the build. See the construction page, the history and the grand opening photos. For the run count see how many runs.
Tours
Tours run daily 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, no appointment, and you can walk through the newer building and the original one. The new building also added fire sprinklers, a pump house and water tank, and heating and air conditioning for the kennel side, details that matter to owners who want to know how a stay stays comfortable in July or January.
