American Boarding Kennels, Inc.

I went to tour this place prior to boarding my dog (in July 2006) - the website made it look like a pretty good place. We were "greeted" after about 10 minutes by a teenager who didn't seem to know much. She showed us the kennels: barking so loud I couldn't hear her talk, the smell of dog poop/pee so strong I almost gagged, and hard cement floors with little room for the dogs to lay down or move around. Their "exercise yard" consists of a small (maybe 4 feet wide) strip of grass along the back alley where they "walk" the dogs. "Trained techincians" were nowhere in sight. I wouldn't leave a happy, healthy, socialized dog here, much less an elderly dog or one with special needs (medication, special food, extra attention). NOT RECOMMENDED.

Pros: can't think of one

Cons: stinky and dirty cages, seemingly inexperienced staff, unhappy animals
