Huck Finn Kennels

Huck Finn Kennels is a family-operated kennel at 5205 S Havana St. in Kennewick, WA, offering overnight boarding and daytime care. Owners looking for dog boarding in Kennewick or the wider Tri-Cities will find it takes dogs of every breed, and cats too.

What is a stay at Huck Finn Kennels like?

The kennel runs socialized boarding, so dogs head out together into large grassy exercise yards. Groups are sorted by size and energy level, so a quiet small dog isn't paired with a rowdy large one. The building is climate controlled, which keeps boarders comfortable through both the warm and cold months.

The kennel describes its approach in personal terms. Its site points out that every pet has different needs, whether old, young, playful, grumpy or lazy, and says staff try to fit their care to each animal.

What services and amenities are offered?

• Overnight boarding for all dog breeds and for cats
• PlayDay, its daytime care program for dogs
• Medication administration and special diets
• Pickup and drop-off service
• Large grassy yards for exercise and group play

Can owners bring their dog's own food?

Yes. Owners can bring their pet's usual food, and the kennel keeps a refrigerator for wet food. Staying on a familiar diet can make a new setting easier on a dog's stomach. Special diets are also accommodated.
