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 FROMM food made in the USA 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 7 days a week from 8 am to 6 pm. This enables us to dedicate one on
one playtime with your dog when they arrive.
Also they will have been to the play yard to do any business and be
ready for the car ride home when you arrive.
Here are two pictures of one
of our 3 large play areas for
supervised playtime.
This is our smaller play
area. Scott is playing with Ginger.

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. Please do not just show up. We live here and need time for dinner too.
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 heating and air conditioning.
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.
Here are Gracie and Issac
our two dogs over 270 pounds of dog together inside one run.

Darford dog treats at the kennel and to our own dogs.

Here are some other
important things to consider:
If there is a
thunderstorm at 2 am Lara or Scott will get up and go check on all the dogs at
the kennel.
We keep our
hours from by appt 8 to 6 because we know how hard it is to keep on track on
the way out of town. When you are running two hours late we will be here.
We start
taking dogs out between 6 and 630 am everyday (and it is not uncommon for Scott
to start at 5 am because it is going to be a hotter than normal day).
They get a
last trip to the yard after 8 pm every night. (again it can be after 10 for a
last potty break if we have an extra long day)
We have crates
in our office for shy and little dogs.
We built the
kennel for big dogs but now have lots of little dog friends. Little dogs run the office and have their
own playgroups.
Your dog will
come home smelling just as clean as when they came. We do not have a mandatory bath policy.
Dogs will get
playtime with other dogs if they want it and playtime alone if they do not care
for the other dogs. They do not have to
go into the yard with another dog.
We require
regular shot for pravo/distemper and rabies is current. We do not require extra vaccines.
We do have a
vet with over 20 years experience on call for us.
What happens at kennels where you must bring
food: if you forget the food, your dog won’t eat or runs out. Here we provide the best food because this
is your dog’s vacation and great food is part of a great vacation. If nothing else works Lara will cook an egg
to get your dog to eat.
If you are an EXISTING
CLIENT (not a first time client although we will help if we can) and:
You have a family emergency like a funeral just
call and leave a message telling us when you need to drop off and we will
accommodate.
If you get a flat on the way here and do not
have time to make it to us and get that flight Lara will and has met dogs at
the front of the airport.
We will pick up and drop off at our home if you
ask. Pricing varies.
