Boarding Facilities For Dogs

Our Canine accommodations are large indoor/outdoor style suites with private inside enclosures connected to full-sized 16-foot long outdoor enclosures.  The outdoor terraces are very spacious and completely covered to allow your pet to exercise in all types of weather.  The inside enclosures are heated in the winter, air conditioned in the hot summer months, and exhaust systems and paddle fans are used for proper ventilation and air exchange.  In addition, each dog is provided with raised platform kennel decking along with lambswool bedding for their further comfort.  Soothing piped-in music plays 24 hours a day for the relaxation of your pet.


What do our guests think of Winding Creek Kennels?


        

A note to two of our staff from one of our clients, award-winning dog trainer Pat Mitchell:

"Dear Rachel & Karen - Dooper wants me to write you two a thank-you note for taking such special care of him while we were out of town. He thinks y'all are the best and we do too. Seriously, it is so comforting to know Dooper is in good & loving hands while Dirk & I travel. Professionally, I feel very confident recommending y'all to all my clients."

"[we] want to thank you for the excellent treatment our dog, Hogan, recieves everytime he visits his 'home away from home...'! Hogan used to tremble when we left him at his previous kennel over night or just for a bath. However, he lights up when we turn into your driveway as if he can't wait to see you and his many four legged friends. We are very thankful that we found you!"

"I researched approximately 10-15 locations to board my dogs before deciding on Winding Creek and would never even THINK of taking them anywhere else. Your standards are very high, you take wonderful care of my boys and I am extremely appreciative!"
- K.M,  Suwanee, GA

"We have been boarding our pet for 7 years now at Winding Creek. I hate leaving my dog anywhere when we go away. But, knowing he is at Winding Creek Kennels in the hands of Ed, Joan & staff helps me alleviate any guilt I have and I don't have to worry. They are wonderful, and he gets the best care and attention. He has a big area to run around in, and has a lot of other animals, horses, etc. to see when he is in the outdoor part. Not to mention they accommodate any needs you have. From meds being administered, to your own food, to walking, or playtime, or whatever you want. They even will give your dog Frosty Paws. It doesn't get any better than that!!! They are the best!!!"

Two views of the inside kennel area

Each canine guest gets a spacious 4 x 5 ft or 6 x 5 ft inside enclosure. The inside enclosures are all separated by 6 foot solid cement walls to give each guest total privacy while inside. On the floor, each dog has a raised platform called kennel decking to keep them up off of the hard cement. It also provides a high and dry platform should the dog have a urinary accident or just happen to kick over it's water bowl etc. In addition, lambs wool bedding is provided. The inside kennel area has large power exhausts along with paddle fans overhead to constantly move and exchange the air. Piped in music plays throughout the kennel. In addition, we have forced air and radiant in-floor heating for the winter months and air conditioning for the hot summer months. However, the most important ingredient to keeping our canine guests happy and healthy is human contact, and we ensure that all of our guests receive lots of loving attention.

Outer Run

16+ feet of outside run space

Each canine guest has a full 16 foot long outside run which then connects to their private inside area. The outside runs are fully covered.  In fact, the overhang extends several feet beyond the runs.   This keeps their outside runs nice and dry even if it has been raining all day.   It also protects the dogs from the hot sun during the summer.  Each run is separated with a solid cement wall for safety and sanitation purposes. Instead of staring out at a large wall or privacy fence, the guests at Winding Creek look out over 36 acres of countryside.  From their outside runs they can see horses and cattle grazing in the pasture, along with our pet, Jasmine the donkey, who regularly patrols our fence line.
