The Set-Up
Facility Layout
Our facility is located on our property, just west of our residence. The property is fully fenced with 6 foot no climb wire. The kennel building has 6 indoor/outdoor kennel runs that are 39 sq. ft. interiors and 60 sq. ft. exteriors. Each kennel run has an elevated dog bed (kuranda) based on the size of the dog(s). The interior walls have visual barriers from their direct neighbours. The front of the kennel runs are glass, with the option to add kennel curtains as a visual barrier if needed (typically used for shy or frustrated dogs). The exterior runs are patio stones and turf, with welded mesh panels and panel roofs so no dogs are able to escape. Dogs are able to see their neighbours outside if they have indoor/outdoor access. On the other side of the kennel runs is a training & sitting area. This space is used in poor weather and for working with our adoptable dogs. We have two grassy areas that dogs are rotated through to run and play in throughout the day.
