The Barksville Inn

Affordable doggie daycare, kennel-free boarding, emergency

& long term housing services for dogs & dog owners in need.

The Barksville Inn was designed to be a cozy home away from home for all dogs. Replacing the confined chain-linked kennels for a open communal living space to minimize canine anxiety.

Their affordable doggie daycare, cage-free boarding helps subsidize our long term and emergency pet care services for disabled, senior citizens, victims of domestic violence and families experiencing financial hardship.
