Trainer-owned boarding · Gassaway, West Virginia
A safe place. A happy stay.
Fifteen climate-controlled suites on a fenced acre. Every guest is boarded and turned out on their own — there is never any group play.

Why Dogwood
Built for the dogs that need a little more
We take the tough ones
Reactive, anxious, rowdy, senior, intact, or with a disclosed bite history. Tell us the truth about your dog and we can usually work with it.
Their own space, every day
Every guest is boarded alone and turned out alone, five times a day, on one acre of fenced area for exercise. Nobody shares a fence line with a stranger.
Honest about what we are
We do have cameras, but they're for our team rather than public viewing, and nobody stays on site overnight. We'll send you updates and photos through the stay — what we can't do is take calls all day, because the guests in front of us come first.
A look around
Owners are leaving a family member with a stranger. Here is exactly where your dog sleeps.
Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella, documented by your vet. Nothing may expire during the stay. See everything you need →
Meet the owner
Tiffany Singleton
Tiffany is a professional dog trainer, and Dogwood is the kennel she wanted to exist when she was leaving her own dogs with someone else. That is why every guest here is handled individually, why the hard cases get taken, and why the person who set the standards is the person who answers the phone.
