989-269-9039 The kennel started with 10 runs but we quickly added 30 more.

Walnut Ridge Kennels is family-owned/operated boarding kennel, nestled in a quiet country setting in Huron County, Michigan. Located outside the city of Bad Axe in the "heart" of the Thumb, we have been in existence since 1999. After expanding yet again, we now have the capacity to house 60 dogs. We have spacious 4'x8' chain link runs inside for larger dogs and 3'x6' runs for the smaller dogs. For

the optimal comfort of our guests, the building is climate controlled. Soft music is played throughout the day and night, having a calming effect on the dogs. Outside we have 2 large fenced areas where the dogs are able to exercise and play several times a day. You may bring toys, blankets, treats, etc for your poochie to have during their stay with us. Dogs must be up to date on 3 vaccinations at least one week prior to boarding: bordetella, rabies and distemper. Give us a call if you have any questions or want to schedule! Our Staff: Missy Rooney, Kelsey Connors & Kayla Parrish
