Many Paws Kennel

I’ve been taking my 2 year-​old golden retriever here for daycare for almost a year now and he absolutely loves it! The staff is very friendly and really take the time to bond with your dog. Price compared to other daycare’s in the area is very reasonable. Indoor and outdoor play areas for all sizes of dogs. Well maintained. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Holly loves it here! Thank you for making a home for our dog when we are out of town.

I have been taking my Aussie to Many Paws for several years now. I love the care and attention the employees give her and that there is outdoor space for her to roam and play. She seems to get reentergized with playfulness when I pick her up. Highly recommended.

We love many paws and have been taking our dogs here for about 2 years! This is an affordable kennel that takes great care if our pups; their home away from home! We call it camp and our dogs absolutely love it at Many Paws. They get to play all day and the environment is wonderful for socialization!

we were referred by a critical friend who uses this place regularly for boarding and some day care– these folks are into it-​organized and seem to love their work– My dog came home happy and was definitely sad to leave the place– that was shocking to say the least! thank you many paws for your hard work and loving environment– I have seen fancier places but none with such caring people that is so well run-​stay motivated dog owners need places as good as this!!!

We had our 2 dogs boarded for the first time, and we were referred to Many Paws by a family friend. We were very pleased! Being it was our first time boarding them, we were nervous, but the staff was so nice and the facility is kept well clean and sanitized. One of our dogs is a bit aggressive towards other dogs, and Many Paws still kept him and made sure he had lots of attention & play time with our other dog. They even sent us pictures and report cards for both dogs, which I loved! I would highly recommend Many Paws, and we definitely feel at ease taking our fur babies here again!

We have had our malamute in day care at many paws for more than 2 years…, they are so good to her and offer a warm loving atmosphere.
she loves to go and loves the play time which in turn leads to a quiet evening for me.
good for me and good for her… thank you many paws

We have taken our dogs to many paws various times over the past 5 years. When you had two dogs they were boarded together which was perfect for us because our older dog gets lonely. Now we board our only dog and because of the all day play time he LOVES going there. We don’t use this kennel regularly because we rarely leave our dog but every time I call they all seem to remember Duke which makes me feel better about leaving him.

We take our cranky dog to Many Paws for daycare and boarding. They are aware of her crankiness and know what to watch for so she gets a time out when she needs it. I really appreciate their willingness to deal with her temperament because she loves playing with dogs in general, but doesn’t like them all specifically. I usually call first and they’ll tell me if there are dogs there that she doesn’t get along with so I can choose to have her go there and sit in a kennel or stay home alone. She always gets a happy greeting and even got a toy for Christmas.

I’ve boarded my dog here a couple of times, and it’s going to be my go-​to place for dog boarding. To be honest, I’m pretty new to the «owning a dog» thing, so I don’t really have any experiences with other kennels. It’s really close to my house, and the rates are reasonable. My dog has come home each time tuckered out from all the fun he had hanging out with other dogs for a few days.
They sent out a report card and a few pictures of him playing around in the yard after each visit, which is a cute touch.
Honestly, any place where I can safely leave him for a few days where he gets fed regularly and gets to go outside would be a-​ok in my book, and this place definitely meets that criteria. My dog was excited about being back there a second time, so if he’s happy, I’m happy.

We’ve boarded our super-​shy rescued Siberian husky here on a couple of occasions (2007, 2010) and plan to bring her back this year. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and they obviously love dogs. It is a challenge to find a place where we are comfortable leaving our special dog since she has separation anxiety issues and is generally afraid of people. Our girl did as well as can be expected at Many Paws. They give detailed reports on activities, behavior and any concerns. Rates are fair. I am happy to recommend Many Paws Kennel.

WE ADVISE YOU TO STAY AWAY AND NOT TAKE YOUR DOG THERE. Here’s why…
My wife and I boarded our dog at Many Paws from 12÷17÷10 to 12÷27÷10. Upon picking her up we found hardened skin and a puncture wound on her left side. These injuries went undetected for 5 DAYS by MANY PAWS resulting from a fight during the middle of her stay. The injuries consisted of a deep bite puncture wound, an area of bruising with blood-​filled seromas and superficial abrasions. At the emergency vet visit on the day we picked her up requiring draining the seromas and cleaning the puncture wound. Thank goodness the puncture wound didn’t get infected after 5 DAYS.
How hard is it to do a touch-​based evaluation of a dog after a fight? The issue is not the fight, it’s the lack of care she received after the fight. After writing a letter to MANY PAWS, they refused to refund us the portion of the stay from the injury to her last day ($ 189). We didn’t even ask for a full refund or for them to pay for the $ 250 emergency vet bill. Somehow they think they did nothing wrong. SEE THIS LINK FOR PICTURES:
Worse is that MANY PAWS called us the day after the fight occurred to report that she was acting lethargic and had lost urine the night before (the day of the fight). It was during that call when they casually mentioned she was in a fight the day before (full disclosure — she started it) The fight was minimized and downplayed. It’s important to note that our dog has not lost urine or otherwise been incontinent in the three-​plus years we’ve been her owners. Her change in behavior correlates directly with the fight and Many Paws failure to properly assess and evaluate her following the fight. We believe our dog was neglected as it appears that she was only visually evaluated after the fight. Had she received a tactile-​based evaluation the puncture wound would have very likely been located considering we easily found it within one hour of picking her up which was five days after the fight.
We checked the box on the release form that requests our dog be taken to her vet, if possible, in the event she is need of medical attention, or otherwise an emergency vet of Many Paw’s
choosing. We believe (as does our vet) that the injuries she sustained warranted immediate medical attention. The chance of the puncture wound becoming infected and leading to a systemic infection requiring surgery was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀; luckily no infection manifested.
Many Paws is not medically qualified to determine the status of a dog after an altercation and since vet visits are passed through to the customer we were very surprised she was not taken to the vet for a medical evaluation. Moreover, she was given prescription pain medication without our permission.
In addition to the significant vet bill we’ve had to keep a regimen of hot compresses, administering two related prescriptions, antibiotic ointment applications, and has had to wear a shirt to avoid contact with the wounds so that they can heal. Our dog has since healed with a scar at the puncture wound.
If you care about your dog, then don’t use this company!!!

We have been taking our four-​legged kiddo to Many Paws for a few years now and even adopted a fellow daycare buddy on the recommendation of Carla and her team. I cannot say enough great things about Many Paws — we have utilized the boarding opportunities when needed and love the daycare. We actually drive the opposite way we go to work one — two times a week just to bring both of our four legged kids there. Prior to Many Paws we had been to other kennels in the Aloha/​Hillsboro area and the reason why we sought out another daycare is because we couldn’t find any place whose staff treated our kids as if they were their own — Carla and her staff do just that. I don’t want to drop off in the morning to a person who doesn’t know my name or the name of my dogs, I don’t want to pick them up only to be handed a leash with no discussion. We chose Many Paws because of Carla and Susan — we stay with Many Paws because of Carla and Carrie and the other fabulous Many Paws Family members who greet us and our kids with friendly smiles and always take a moment to tell us something about the day when we pick them up.
Another incredible thing to share is when one of our kiddos split a nail down to the nailbed while playing and I was called at work to be informed of the incident and updated a few hours later that it might be a good idea to pick her up and let her rest at home because she wouldn’t stop playing making the area bleed more. Many Paws staff member not only care about our dogs they know about canine first aid which comes in handy for situations like this.
For the folks on other sites who talk about kennel cough — it happens at every daycare we have ever been at — I equate it to lice in elementary school kids — it just happens. It isn’t the facility or the people, dogs can pick it up at dog parks, while visiting Petco or Petsmart and interacting with other dogs in their neighborhood. We were called at home by Carla that a dog had shown signs of kennel cough, so we watched our kids at home and when one of them showed symptoms we took him to the vet, got on a medication and it never fully developed into anything scary — but it was the early warning that Carla gave that helped us be responsible pet parents and keep an eye out.
If you are looking for a place to drop off your dogs and not have any interaction with the people working there — do not go to Many Paws. If you want to leave your four legged kids with responsible individuals who will genuinely care about them then Many Paws is for you.
