Howl-A-Day Inn is fabulous! Our dog is a rather ornery toddler-type with separation anxiety. She…read moredislikes most people and other canines. She isn't the least bit interested in boarding at a place where people/dogs want to befriend her. She wants her space, her meals, and for people to not touch her bed. After a trial day at a different facility where the staff walked into our pup's kennel and didn't get the friendly tail wag they expected, we called around to a few other places. No one was interested in getting to know our fur baby. Then, we called Howl-A-Day Inn. I explained our situation to Trish - we were in dire need of traveling to see my terminally ill mother-in-law and needed a safe, clean, comfortable place for Omar while we were away. Trish told me about her extensive history with dogs, and how she doesn't try to make friends with the dogs in her care but respects them and their need for space. I was hesitant and fast running out of options. So, we did a trial 8-hour day. It went great! Omar had plenty of space, a clean kennel, and wasn't overwhelmed with someone trying to buddy up to her. She was fed, got outdoor time, and while she was eager to come home when we picked her up, I was the only one in near (happy) tears. What was supposed to be a 1-week stay for Omar turned into 2-weeks when we lost both my husband's parents within days of each other. Trish allowed Omar to extend her stay at Howl-A-Day Inn, eliminating our stress and worry about what to do for dog care. We are so grateful for the quality service Trish provides! Whenever we have to travel, we know Omar is in great hands!

The owner put her in an ecollar and when we went to visit and check her progress she was thin and had picked up lice. She was terrified. She was supposed to stay longer but I was crying when we left without her and I told my husband to turn around and we went back and took her home. That was when we found the lice. I was devastated that we had unwittingly put our young dog in this situation. This was several years ago but... Beware!

AK TLC Kennels is behind Builders Bargains on the Parks Hwy near Trunk Rd…read more We have 2 dogs (both husky rott mixes) that LOVE going to the kennel here. (Our previous 2 dogs loved going here too as they have a "geriatric" room that is quieter and sectioned off from the main part of the kennel so it's a bit quieter for the older dogs). The runs are good sized, we keep our 2 dogs together in 1 run, as many people do. They get beds that are raised up off the floor, and blankets. I think they will also give them toys to have in the run, but we have 1 that will ingest stuff like that so we skip that part. Debbie and her staff are great with the dogs and are always happy to see them when they arrive. They offer grooming and also have a separate room for boarding cats. One of my dogs has a thing about having his toes touched, so we rarely get to trim his nails at home. We've tried at the vets office too, but someone is usually holding him down and there is a lot of flailing and almost no nail trimming. I asked TLC to trim his nails several trips ago and they said he LOVES it when they do it and has no issues, so now that is part of his trip to the kennel as well. Dogs are taken out to several fenced play yards a few times a day. Mine always come home exhausted. I love TLC Kennel and wouldn't take my dogs (my children) anywhere else.

Because he was at the end stage of his life, they took special care of him, keeping him basically on one on one care. He passed while I was on vacation. TLC contacted me immediately, and were so amazingly compassionate, and offered to take him to cremation place of no extra cost. Recently, my ridgeback, Ozzie was at TLC while I was in Europe, and they rushed him to emergency vets, due to unforeseen emergency related to his stomach constricting, resulting in a life or death situation. It was recognized immediately, and he was immediately taken vet. His life threatening condition ended well thank you to TLC!! They kept Ozzie in cuddle room after his surgery the rest of his stay, and was totally pampered. TLC are passionate about caring for your pet for their individual needs, and very knowledgeable related to safety. Highly recommend TLC!! You know your in a great Kennel when you arrive, and your pets are eager to be there, instead of, oh no Mom, your leaving me, as your are trying to coach them inside. My 2 dogs love being there. That makes it so much more reassuring leaving them behind.

They recently posted a litter and I fell in love with 2 of the puppies, Rocket and Ayesha! Knowing that I was going to be traveling a lot over the next few months I left it to date. I told myself that if either was available in January I would get one. Well, low and behold, my female pick was available and I purchased her. Of course I had questions before making my decision and I was in contact with Monica and she answered every question and addressed every concern I had. I decided to get KingFisher's Ayesha and I couldn't be happier. She was a pup from Klondike and Blitz born 9/9/18! Both Mom & Dad were gorgeous!! She is the sweetest dog ever and so insanely smart!! I've had her almost 4 weeks now and she is the perfect addition to our Family!!! When questions come up since I've had her, I texted Monica and she was amazing with her responses and has really made this such an easy process and has totally put my faith in KingFishers!!!! If you are looking for a beautiful, smart, sweet, and well tempered Malamute pup, I would highly suggest you get one from this Family!!

They were happy, smiling, and upbeat in a way in which it seems they really enjoyed their work. I cannot speak to the adoption process or costs, but it seems like it would run smooth. They have several rooms where dogs can go to meet and greet with potential adopters. I'm not sure about outdoor spaces or how you have your present dogs meet a potential foster sister or brother. I'll make sure to get clarification on that next time.
