Brizes Boarding Kennel

Brizes Kennels offer a professional, friendly country environment for your pet. Barbara Brizes, owner, has been in the pet care business since 1970. We offer spacious indoor/outdoor runs for up to 150 dogs. The small runs are 48 sq. ft. and large runs are 68 sq. ft. All outdoor sections are completely covered by a roof. For winter boarding the kennels are heated along with heated floors. The dogs have access to their outside run all day except for winter boarding when we control the amount of access depending on temperatures.

We offer 75 acres of rolling hills and meadows for your dog's enjoyment. Your dog may explore our grounds when you sign up for nature hikes.

All dogs receive one-on-one attention with one of our employees. We never mix strange dogs. You can also reserve one of our five large outdoor play yards for your dog's individual enjoyment with one of our staff members.

For summer fun try our outdoor dog pond complete with brook, waterfall, shallow wading area and four feet deep swimming area. Your dog will receive individual attention with one of our staff members.
