Boarding
Short-Term or Long-Term Dog Boarding
Knowing your pet is in the hands of an organization that has proven its trustworthiness, you can now enjoy peace and a sense of security about your dog when you leave it with us, whether you are away for an hour, a day, or a month.
Dog boarding is located in a dedicated wing of the shelter, with its own kitchen and grooming area. The boarding wing is equipped with a modern air filtration system and Mason Sani-Kennels; each standard kennel measures nearly 60 square feet, and each extra-large kennel is nearly 120 square feet. We also have “Quiet Zone” kennels, designed especially for the comfort of senior and small dogs.
Large outdoor play areas and our nature path for on-leash walks are available to all our canine guests. Your pets will be tended to by our compassionate, highly trained boarding staff. All dogs staying with us will have access to 24/7 veterinary care.
All funds generated from boarding and grooming will be directed toward developing and enhancing programs and services for our homeless animals in need of care and waiting for their forever homes at the CGHS/SPCA shelter.

Grooming Services
The boarding area is a state-of-the-art wing that offers spacious, safe kennels for every size and breed of dog. All boarding dogs are offered outside exercise pens in which to run and play. Equally important, funds generated from these services help provide crucial funding for all animals that are lost, unwanted and/or victims of cruelty served by CGHS/SPCA. Today CGHS/SPCA serves more than 5,000 animals every year.
