Hallcrest Kennel

After my father passed away, I required immediate assistance to house two German Wirehair pointers until burial arrangements and estate complications could be finalized. Due to the close proximity of my fathers residence, I gave the dogs to my sister with direction to take them to Hallcrest Kennel. She did, however the weather was 93 degrees and the dogs were kept in weed infested dog runs with corrugated metal sheeting as the only shade. While water was given, it too was scalding and matched the 90 something degree outside temp. I returned a day later, took the dogs home with me where they remain today. Please check the conditions of the kennels . Leave enough time to reconsider if you find conditions are unsatisfactory. I have enclosed pictures of the dogs panting in the heat upon

I feel 1 star is generous. It was winter. In the garage, collapsible dog crates were stacked in several rows, 2-3 high (depending on size of crate) with nothing between them (not carpet or cardboard, nothing). We insisted our German Shepherd and Mini-Australian Shepherd be stacked together for comfort - we'd taken their beds and some toys never imaging the horrible conditions. The noise was deafening. We were new to the area, had a family emergency near a holiday and knew of 0 other options. It's a cash only business. It felt like a Homeward Bound 2 scene. We were thankful our dogs survived. We use rover.com now.

We dropped the dog off the Saturday before Christmas and they were very nice and receptive, the kennel has individual dog runs that are gated and separated. I am not sure if when the dogs are outside if they are allowed to run around into other dog runs or if they are closed while occupied. They do offer to feed the dogs while they stay there however, I'm not sure what the food is. I was surprised to see this place was behind the owners house in their backyard. If the weather is not nice, they bring the dogs in. When they do I noticed there is not a lot of room for them to run around, or if they are kenneled. A pet peeve with this place is the owners DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. We were not made aware of this at any point before or during his stay there. It was not until my wife sho

`I called on Thursday morning and the got my dogs in later that morning! Answered all of my questions and let me call and see how they were doing (My first time boarding them so I was a little spooked). Dogs were happy and healthy when I picked them up and Marilyn (I think that was here name) was very sweet and polite. If I ever have to kennel again, I won't go anywhere else. Thank you very much!

Handled our dogs while we went to the great wolf lodge for family fun. 2 dogs 80 and 90 lbs. Rate was good, they don't take cards so remember that. We didn't know until pickup and she had no problem letting us run to an ATM to grab cash. I support cash payments and would do the same if I ran a small business. Will use them again
