Country Pup Kennel
Our love and passion for dogs is why we decided it was time to open Country Pup Kennel. It is our goal to have pets out of the kennels as much as possible throughout the day so they are playing and running around, getting that exercise and enrichment they deserve. Kennels are cleaned daily with organic cleaning products.
We are located south of Princeton on 35 acres with walking trails for dogs to enjoy.
Country Pup Kennel was established after several bad boarding experiences with our own dogs. We understand the importance of cleanliness and proper care. This facility was built to handle any situation that comes our way. With a dedicated negative pressure room for sick pets, multiple kennel rooms, multiple fenced areas, and many other features we are very well equipped to care for a pet.
Join Our Team
Country Pup Kennel is always looking for animal lovers to join our team. We are seeking caring and reliable individuals who share our passion for enhancing the lives of our furry companions.
