Boarding

At Francis Kennels, there are 48 runs for your dog(s) to enjoy their stay in.  For our multiple pet and our gentle giants, there are large 8 foot by 8 foot suites, along with one 8 foot by 12 foot suite.  The other kennel run sizes are 4 foot by 8 foot and 6 foot by 12 foot.  Every run has privacy panels on either side, keeping it quieter and cleaner.  Music plays in the kennel 24/7 that has been proven to help dogs relax.  This is just one of the many steps taken to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.  Francis Kennels has an extensive supply of fleece, comforters and other bedding, so when you board your pet, please leave their dog beds and blankets at home. In addition to sanitary reasons, the kennel staff can spend more time with your animal and less time doing laundry. Toys, food and treats are always welcome!

While your dog(s) board with us, we walk your dogs EVERY DAY! In addition to their special walks, Francis Kennels also has a large outdoor space for your dog(s) to run and play in every day, 3-4 times per day.  Our large back yard has a large tree for shade and in the summer a small pool for the dogs to play and cool off in.  Every dog will get to be out in the large yard, whether it is with other dogs playing, or just one dog meanderaing around the yard as they please. 

For our feline friends, there is a Cat Room that is filled with toys, beds and even a real fish for the cats to watch.

Our Small Animal Room is for small dogs, and it is quieter and more rleaxed, which helps the little dogs feel right at home.  Even with all of this space we have for your pet(s), we fill up fast, especially for holidays, so don't waste time, make a reservation today!
