Huck Finn Kennels

Took my dogs there a multiple times. My big dog a puppy at the time. Huck complained barked to much and ruined the weekend. She’s a freaken dog in a strange place with a 100 other dogs. We also found our smaller dog would be like depressed «not social «nervous. After that we found another kennel and been using them ever since with no problems. Its hard taking your beloved animals to someone to care for and hope they will be OK. Place we use now, when we come home our dogs are tired from playing. FYI do a walk through of the kennel you chose. Be sure its right for you !
This was not based on one stay but multiple stays. We used for several months.
things just progressively got worse.

Success! So the previous review was based on a weekend stay. This review is based on leaving Twink for an entire week (about 8 days). Of course, as luck would have it, Twink got sick 2 weeks prior. He ate something and was puking which got him off his normal meds. He has a bum leg and does well with Cosequin but due to him being sick, he was off so he was limping pretty bad. Luckily, the vet put him on some meds and he recovered quickly. When we dropped him off at Huck Finn’s, Linda was there and I mentioned that Twink just got over his sickness so he should take it easy and his bum leg leg/​shoulder might be a little sore. They noted that on Twink’s paperwork.
Returning from our vacation, we went to pick Twink up. He was SO HAPPY! YAY! His tail was up and it was like we just left him there yesterday. He seem a little bit tired but nothing to worry about. I’m sure he had fun with his friends hehe. He was outside with another dog that seem to be an older dog too. He was sad to see Twink go. I know I’ve read some reviews at other kennels that they leave their dog for a week and when they pick their dog up, they smell bad or they’re dirty or they seem hurt. NONE of that happened here with Twink.
A young lady was there to check us out and she related that Twink did great. Nothing was wrong and he never appeared to be sore or ill during the entire stay. He played with other dogs and was fine. Another YAY!
This was the first time that we’ve left Twink for this long and I am SO glad that Twink enjoyed himself and was taken care of. Now that we’ve found a place where we feel good about leaving Twink, we feel more at ease about being able to go places and not worry. Prior, my boyfriend and I would take turns staying home to watch him. We’ve already scheduled for Twink to stay another weekend in Oct. Already recommended this place to a few others and we’ll keep on coming back! We highly recommend this kennel!

We found this place because of the high Unilocal ratings after searching for a place that our large, older dog could stay where she would not be in a tiny cage all day. These guys are absolutely fabulous. I can’t say enough good things about them. Their kennels are spotless and the dogs can be indoor our outdoor as they please. Plus they have very large, grassy, well fenced play areas where the dogs can go out and play. The areas have double gates to help prevent escapees. The yards have trees and bushes for shade during the hot summer and they even put out kiddie pools for the dogs to frolik in when its hot.
They are very careful to ensure that dogs get along and that they are a good fit. Before we could board her for a longer time, we had to schedule an initial eval/​play date (charged as a day of doggie daycare) so that they could be sure that Frankie would do well and would play well with others. I liked that as it also gave me a chance to see what kind of shape she returned in and if she seemed to be stressed at all by the stay. She’s 12 years old and so that’s a big worry. No issues there, she was spunky and happy when I arrived and seemed to be sad to say goodbye to her playmates from the day.
They also are careful to put dogs of similar size and activities together. Older dogs go in the older dog area, hunting/​active dogs in another, small dogs in another. I would have never thought of that, but they seem to have thought of everything. They are extremely caring — and when we had to leave her with them for an extended period of time, they even sent me photos of her playing with others when I checked in periodically to make sure all was ok.
They are a little more per day, but they don’t nickel and dime you to death, charging you a daily rate plus bucks for walking, bucks for this, bucks for that. They do charge a very reasonable fee if they have to administer medications.
Highly, highly recommended!

We left our 2 dogs here for 3 nights recently and just wish the place was closer to us so we could do the day care option once in a while. It seems like a really smooth operation. Both of my dogs were able to stay in the same kennel and it was indoor-​outdoor so they could go out when they wanted. Depending on personality all the dogs are also able to go out for most of the day and socialize with other dogs in a big yard with nice green grass. I was really impressed by the size of the enclosure and it looked like they had several. I’ve used other kennels in the area and the enclosures the dogs run around in have always been disappointingly small and sometimes not very clean. My dogs love to run so seeing them out playing in such a big space was really nice. The lady that worked there was very nice too, answering all our questions and letting us see where our dogs would be staying. The only downside I can think of is having to pay cash or check only. Who writes checks anymore? Other than that I highly recommend this place as a clean, safe and fun option for pets.
