For "all" Boarding / Day Care information visit: About Maranatha.
Our hours on the weekends do change in the Winter vs. Summer. We would hate to have you make a trip and not have us be open. Please take a look at season changes.
We hope you enjoy going though our web site. Our site has lots of photos for your viewing pleasure and as a means to enable you to obtain a good idea about the services we provide and who we are in relation to our kennel services; especially with our "Day Care" program.
"Sorry." We do not provide guided tours as our time is consumed with our attention given to our furry friends... If you would like to meet with us and ask additional questions, please call for an appointment; ask for Robin.
PLEASE READ ...
To come to our Kennel facility, you need to come up a "long" driveway. You "MUST" drive the posted speed limit of 5 MPH; ESPECIALLY coming into the high traffic areas (Parking lots).
We love all of our Dog's, our Customers Dog(s), not to mention our Grandchildren that come for visits, so we appreciate your helping us with this safety measure as it may save a life someday.
What's happening ...Puppies Check out info below
Beautiful PUPPIES -- Check out our Puppy page, for who is available and other details. (Page under construction)
Obedience Classes: Check our Obedience page for details about our Classes - Times and levels.
New for Obedience; along with our Bootcamp that takes dogs 6 months and up, we are offering a "Puppy Boot Camp; but its really not a bootcamp... its to take in puppies and for 3 weeks, teach them many of the basic behaviors, and perhaps undo some already existing "bad" behaviors.
Maranatha Kennels is also proud to announce that our very first pup coming from our Started Dog Program, in 2006
Maranathas Black "Powder"
Is theYoungest dog to pass an Advance FEMA USAR Test

No Tours are offered at this time, but with this aerial view,you can see the buildings, Training Center (by Top Pond), all our large outside Pens (for those in Day Care, or regular Boarders that ask for extra exercise for their dog while here)
For our Day Care Customers the back 5 acres is now all fenced in and go for supervised walks, plenty of water/land for them to enjoy.
One of our 2008 goals is to add a Agility course in the front field to make available for training.
We are also adding a small building that and our private/quiet area birthing area for our Lab puppies. Also a quiet area for our older dogs coming in...
