North Hall Kennels

North Hall Kennels is a traditional dog boarding kennel in Dahlonega, GA, that also boards cats. It sits on 10 acres in the North Georgia foothills at 6765 Old Whelchel Road, and its published rates run from $25 to $60 per day.

What does a stay include?

Dogs stay in private suites inside a climate-controlled building, and staff supervise guests 24/7. Much of the daily routine happens outside. Dogs go out leash-free four times a day into a large, secured outdoor area.

• Private, climate-controlled suites
• Leash-free outdoor play four times daily
• Around-the-clock supervision
• Medication administration
• Multi-level cat condos with window views

What sets it apart?

The rural setting is the main draw. With 10 acres of foothill land, the kennel has room for a big secured play area. That matters for dogs who are used to running loose in a backyard. The kennel's own site talks about a country atmosphere and about keeping pets clean, safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

Households with more than one pet can ask about multi-pet discounts, which apply to pets from the same home. Cats get their own setup, with condos built on several levels and window views.

How do owners book and plan drop-off?

Reservations are made by phone at 770-535-7829. Hours change from day to day, so plan drop-off and pickup around them. The kennel is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday and Saturday it's open 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and on Sunday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Every pet needs current vaccinations before it can board. General questions can also go to info@NorthHallKennels.com.
