After many wonderful years of helping families find the perfect furry companion, we are excited to announce a new chapter for North Winds Kennels!

North Winds Kennels is transitioning from breeding dogs to focusing on providing quality dog and cat boarding and care services. While this marks a change for us, our passion for animals and caring for pets remains stronger than ever.

We would especially love the opportunity to continue caring for the pets we helped place with families over the years. Seeing these dogs again and being able to provide them with a safe, loving place to stay while their owners are away means so much to us. Of course, we are also excited to welcome new clients and their pets into the North Winds Kennels family!

Whether you need overnight boarding, weekend care, or temporary stays while traveling, we are here to provide dependable, caring service for both dogs and cats. Our goal is to create a comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets are treated like family.

Thank you to everyone who has supported North Winds Kennels through the years. We are excited for this new journey and look forward to caring for your pets for years to come!
