Kennel

The boarding kennel is located near the base's Main Gate, at the end of the lane down from the Vehicle Registration Office (VRO). The kennel has 10 indoor/outdoor rooms for dogs, plus indoor rooms for cats. Dogs are walked twice daily. Reservations fill up quickly and should be made early.

All dogs must have current rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella shots. Cats need rabies and distemper/parvo. Proof of vaccinations will be required before any animal can be boarded at the facility. Any animals exhibiting vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing or runny eyes at the time of kennel entry won't be accepted and will be referred to a veterinarian. Except for incoming rabies quarantines, animals less than four months old, nursing females or pets in heat will also not be accepted.

Dog Rates: $15 per day, $100 per week, $380 per month

Cat Rates: $10 per day, $65 per week, $240 per month

If you board two pets at once, the second pet gets a 20% discount.
