About the Kennel

Located on 72 beautiful acres bordering the Jefferson National Forest in Fincastle, we’re a family owned and operated organic farm and dog boarding kennel.

(This is the front of the kennel.)

Scott and Lara (owners) live on the farm and are there everyday to give your dogs the attention that they miss while you’re away.  Their on-site residence ensures your pet is given daily, individual TLC in this idyllic country location.  This daily care includes holistic dog food to help keep your dog healthy and happy.

 

Each dog run has a large indoor area opening up to a huge, private, outdoor run.  The outside run includes a covered patio providing protection from the sun and rain.  Inside skylights supply natural light and ceiling fans provide a breeze.  Also available is daily, supervised group play in an extra large play area.   This free-of-charge, optional service is available on request for all kenneled dogs.  All breeds and sizes are welcome.  Lara is an RN so dogs with health concerns or medications are not extra.

 

Drop off and pick up hours are by appt.  This enables us to dedicate one on one playtime with your dog when they arrive.  Also they will have had their water picked up, been outside in the play area to do any business and be ready for the car ride home when you arrive.

 

Here are two pictures of our large play area for supervised playtime.

Tours

We would love to show you and your dog the kennel.  Just call to set up a time so we are not in the middle of playtime or giving a dog a bath when you arrive.  Please bring your dog with you for the tour.

 

 

Our office looks like a living room, not a clinic, so your dog will feel at home.

About the Owners and the Building

We (Scott and Lara) have been working on building this dog kennel for over 10 years.

We had an Alaskan Malamute named Sebastian.  He grew to be much bigger that his 75 pound father to over 120 pounds.

There was not a kennel large enough to make him comfortable.  So we started talking to friends to find out that many big dog owners were having the same challenge.  We have spent that last ten years looking for the perfect land and designing a kennel from our dog’s point of view.

We put in all concrete floors so it’s easy to keep clean and dogs love cool concrete.

Large 5 feet by 5 feet indoor runs.

Extra large outdoor runs up to 30 feet long, all 5 feet wide

The roof of the building covers the first 5 feet of the each run to provide shade from the sun and protection from rain.

Skylights in all office and kennel provide natural light.

The kennel has a ventilation fan to replaces the all the air in the kennel with fresh air every 3 minutes.

All interior paint is zero VOC.  That is the paint gives off zero harmful chemicals into the air.

We used environmentally friendly cleaners to keep the air healthy.
