    Our little rascal Sammy, wandered from our property this morning. He was picked up by a concerned neighbor who brought him to the police station, who called the Northwind Kennel to pick him up. Luckily, after a bit of panic, we saw his pic posted on Facebook and were able to track him down. We called Northwind, and they couldn’t have been nicer! They sssured us that Sammy was in a great mood and would be well taken care of until we were able to get there. When we arrived, he was in the front with the staff having a great time! They were so lovely! We really appreciated their warmth and humor on an emotionally challenging afternoon. Thank you Northwind!!!!

    We have been using Northwind Kennels to board our two rescue dogs for over two years now. One of our dogs has issues and can be difficult to handle. I have nothing but praise for Penny and the team at Northwind Kennels as they have helped our dog become more sociable and I am always confident/happy to drop the dogs off when we go away knowing they will be well cared for.

    I have volunteered here for quite some time. I would not consider going any where else to board a pet. Penny goes above and beyond to take care of all the animals here an the staff is great. I personally have taken multiple dogs out on park walks an it is always a great feeling seeing how happy they are. If you want a great place look no further.. Also to those that say disrespectful or hurtful things pertaining to this facility. Maybe you should come down and personally visit the dogs for a first-hand experience instead of going on what somebody is telling you just to create a problem...

    When I lived in Bedford, I used this place one time for my Rottweiler and let me tell you something. I don’t know what they did to this dog, but the dog was never the same when he came home. This was in 2011 and I promised myself never ever ever bring my dog there again! So reading the article is no surprise to me.That goes to show after all these years finally, it has been bought to the ears of the right folks!

    Northwind Kennels, Penny and team are so wonderful, loving and caring to all animals, and we are so thankful for their attention and love for our pup Hennessy. Hennessy was sheltered by Northwind for 3 years when a foster or adoptive family could not be found, and now we take him back for boarding when we are out of town. He is not nervous about going back, and loves the staff and volunteers there! They love Hennessy like their own. In fact, most recently when I went to pick Hen up from NWK, I saw one of their team members who recognized me, and told me he had just been hanging out with Hennessy and had taken him outside to relax for a bit, he was sitting down in the yard relaxing with another dog when he told me that. With over 100 dogs at anytime, it means so much to me that they give the animals individual attention and care. Not just walks, but taking the time to relax and enjoy the outdoors together. It really made me feel so happy to know Hennessy had that one on one time with this particular person (who I know Hen loves)!The money you donate to or spend at Northwind helps rescue and shelter more animals! When I was last there, Penny had taken in kittens that someone had dumped, and was caring for them out of the kindness of her heart, all while talking through the care and attention she would give someones pet who was being boarded for the first time.You can also specify any dietary restrictions, vitamins, special needs and even if you would like the animal to get a bath before they come home.We adopted Hennessy via Pound Hounds Res-Q, but Penny and Northwind had been housing Hen for 3 years to keep him off the kill list until someone could adopt him. The team, including James and Steve, allowed us to stop by in the weeks preceding the adoption to meet Hennessy (and so they could vet us to make sure we were the right family). We are so thankful for the love, attention, training, and veterinary care our dog received in the years before we met him.We included photos from our adoption day, hikes in the woods, the front bench where Hennessy liked to sit and people watch, and some kisses he was giving James who helps to take care of Hennessy when we are gone and when Hen was living there.Thank you to Northwind, Penny and team!

    Best place in all of west Chester county or Fairfield county to adopt a dog. No one cares more about pups like they do!

  • Review 7 (2024-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    This place is gorgeous all the animals are so well taken care of abd have big spacious kennels and runs. The staff here is amazing I would recommend this facility. I did notice in the reviews people who have never been here are giving it a bad review which is ridiculous why do that if you were never even here I know you werent here because I know you.

    I have 3 older dogs who have been boarded at Northwind Kennels. They have received excellent care and I wouldnt hesitate to use them again. The careteam is experienced, kind and professional.

    Northwind Kennels is the best! Quality service and great people. I have been bringing my dog there for years. Highly recommend!!

  • Review 11 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    We have had our dogs stay at many care facilities over the years and can recommend Northwind without reservation. Their boarding fees support the animal shelter. Best in Westchester!

  • Review 12 (2022-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to board your furry family member. Ive been boarding my dog, Gem, here for years, and have always had great care, and no nonsense service. The owner, Penny and her staff are exceptional. Penny is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and professional, but shes also genuinely caring. We experienced this first hand during Gems last stay. Gem suffers from seizures, to which Penny and her staff diligently administer his strict regimine of meds during his stays. Unfortunately, he suffered a cluster a seizures for the first at the kennel. Penny instantly called me, and we determined Gem needed immediate veterinary care. Without hesitation Penny sprang into action, and she and her husband took Gem to his vet for emergency treatment. Outstanding! I knew I didnt have to worry about a thing, because Gem was in the best of care with Penny, and his vet who had been treating his condition. Thank you Penny and Northwind. We will be back!

    BEST. KENNEL. EVER. Penny, the owner, was kind and obliging. She has many years of experience with dogs. Her kennel is reasonably priced compared to other kennels. She goes above and beyond for her dogs, even making them homemade treats, and she truly cares about her animals and wants them to be happy. Our dog came back to us after a week looking great! I highly recommend her to all dog owners. We will only use her going forward. Thank you, Northwind Kennels!

    This place is amazing for boarding animals and rescuing. The staff are incredibly loving and caring. Penny owner devotes her life to each and every animal that comes through the doors

  • Review 15 (2021-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing! I will never take my dog anywhere else. The staff was so friendly and caring, my dog looks beautiful. I loved the scenery and couldn’t ask for a better location. Penny was absolutely incredible, she really does go above and beyond. And knowing that the profits directly go to helping animals in need has made me a lifetime customer.

  • Review 16 (2023-10-10 - Rating: 4)

    We are always very satisfied with our pup’s care and Penny and team are wonderful. We requested an extended stay over the summer and our pup was well-cared for and given ample opportunities to socialize and enjoy long walks.

  • Review 17 (2017-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    My cat Bonnie stayed at Northwind Kennels for 3 weeks while I was on vacation. The place is great; clean, nice, and cozy, a real home away from home. The people that work there are wonderful, caring, patient, and real animal lovers. They provide excellent care for your pet. If you don’t have a place to keep your pet for a while I sincerely recommend Northwind Kennels. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Review 18 (2021-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    The staff at Northwind makes a point to know each dog and treat them as individuals. It’s clear they have a genuine love of the animals they take care of. Our one year old mix came home happy after his stay with Penny and the team at Northwind!

  • Review 19 (2022-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Our family adopted our first puppy, Lucy, from Rescue Right (the animal shelter affiliated with Northwinds Kennel). The entire experience was beyond magical. Penny was always available-I know because I texted her almost every day once I heard this particular litter was coming in. When we adopted our dog, she was healthy (Penny is very careful to ensure her animals are in amazing condition when theyre adopted) and exactly as Penny had described over the phone. She took the time to bring every single puppy from the litter out one by one so our kids could meet him/her. We fell in love with Lucy the minute we saw her. The weeks following the adoption, I stopped by Rescue Right regularly for advice, routine healthcare, and to have their people take Lucy to be spayed. Every interaction with Penny and her staff was amazing...I mean, I was even sending Penny pictures of Lucys vomit to analyze. About 6 months after adopting Lucy we started boarding her at Northwinds Kennel. First of all, if you adopt an animal at RR, the price to subsequently board that animal at Northwinds is amazing. Lucy is never in a crate, goes outside all the time and most of all is always excited to go to Northwinds. The first few times Lucy stayed at Northwinds, we were working on getting her to gain weight. The staff at Northwinds was super attentive to that, even suggesting medication and special foods and observing her when we were away. When you have your animal with Penny, its almost like having a vet watch him or her-thats how knowledgable Penny is. We will always use Northwinds to board our animals and Rescue Right to adopt them. This is a special place with special people who deeply care about animals. When you board an animal at Northwinds you are also doing something good for all animals as you are supporting Rescue Right, which is a great feeling. In conclusion, Penny is stuck with us forever and can look forward to 6:00am photos of dog vomit and texts like Um....is this normal? from me for years to come!

    The experience we had adopting at Northwind Kennels was beyond amazing. Penny and the staff care so much about the animals in their charge, and helping families to match the right rescue to their new family and home. Please support their efforts. They give back to the community every single day and their efforts are so important to every life they touch.

  • Review 21 (2018-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    I am a rescue. Sometimes dogs dont work out in foster homes and we need to place those dogs in temporary quarters while finding a new home. Working with Northwinds is easy and professional. They take such good care of our dogs and we get personalized service. The facility is great. They have great trainers. Our dogs are very happy there.

  • Review 22 (2018-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    Penny assisted us with the adoption of our new kitten Milliken (Millie). Penny and her staff showed us all of the available cats on the grounds and ultimately we made our selection. It was a painless process that took just two days mainly because my wife and I needed a night to think it over. Penny didnt pressure us and allowed us to take our time.A few weeks later we went away on a trip and I reached out to Penny if she wouldnt mind popping in to our house once a day to let the dog outside and to say hi to Millie. We live just a few houses down from Northwind. She said she would be happy to and did not want to charge us. I couldnt believe it it. She definitely went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Millie will need to be spayed in a few months and I know she will be in good hands.

    I’m a frequent volunteer here! The staff here are so nice and take very good care of both dogs and cats here!

  • Review 24 (2013-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    Very reliable place, I train and rehab troubled dogs, most of them have a bite history. Today I dropped off one and this is the second time I work with them. And it is such a pleasure to deal with Penny who has experience and extensive knowledge on how to deal with dogs like this. For me as a trainer its invaluable cause I can actually go home and relax knowing that nothing will happen. I am VERY picky, I wish I could give them ten stars

    The team at Northwind takes such great care of our dogs. We have been taking our dogs there for over 7 years and have always had a great experience and travel knowing our family is being taken care of. Much thanks to all of the hard work and love for animals of all kinds.

  • Review 27 (2023-01-27 - Rating: 5)

    They are a kennel and shelter. We adopted a puppy from there and they were really helpful with the whole process and I still call with questions and they are more than happy to help. Penny at Northwind is really wonderful.

    Specifically dealt with Penny, the owner and she was very attentive and kind to my dog and his boarding experience. She is very knowledgeable & caring towards the animals and goes above & beyond.

  • Review 30 (2018-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    Are you people from the rescue oblivious to the fact that what a dog does isn’t the fault of the kennel? This kennel is amazing and prior to this incident your Rescue used them. Do you even know the history of the dog that attacked? Was it a rescue? Stray? Was it being attacked by the bonded pair and reacted?So if you bring a rescue into your home and it bites you or your child or kills another animal, should you be blamed for it? You can’t predict a dog’s behavior, just like you can’t predict that you won’t be rear ended by a drunk driver. Things happen all of the time that we can’t predict. I’m very concerned that this cocker spaniel Rescue is even a rescue when they don’t know the first thing about dogs and their behavior.

  • Review 31 (2022-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    After 20 years in the community I never heard a bad word about them. My little guy has become not such a great house guest so used them for the first couple times. Fred was pulling me on on our second visit.

  • Review 32 (2022-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Penny is amazing. My cavachon - Captain - was there for 2 weeks when I just got him. Penny not only took care such good care of him but socialized him with other pups. He was a completely trained dog when I picked him up. It was like a best 2-in-1 deal of private training and kennel. And penny was kind enough to offer pick-up and drop-off service at the train station.
