We do not restrict your dogs to kennels: we considerthem as kindred spirits and friend and let them play and interact freely . We also include things like 8 hours of supervised outdoor free play , ball play ,a daily hikes&cuddle time for free in our service , instead of charging for them seperately as many other kennels do . Each of us is here because we love dogs :so we spend lots of time time interacting with them and observing them and are always ready to show you all the different play and sleeping areas of the ranch .Every dog at Kindred Spirit is invited to come for a free meet-n-greet and playdate before her/his parents leave them for a longer time. Being familiar with us helps your dog relax and being familiar with your dog helps us care for her in the best possible way and find out in which of our 3 play groups s/he would be most comfortble Then they can run and play on 3 fenced acres , sleep in our 2 buildings an feel that they are on a doggie vacation . We do not lock them up but make them part of our lives.
