We Take the Dogs Other Kennels Won’t

Marsh Run Kennels Inc. specializes in boarding for anxious, aggressive, and special needs dogs in Waynesboro, PA. With an in-house medical lab, 24/7 on-site staff, a brand new facility, and over 10 years of experience, we provide the individualized, expert-level care that other kennels simply can’t – or won’t. No group play. No cookie-cutter approach. Just calm, dedicated attention for the dogs who need it most.

Anxiety Dog Specialists

This isn’t a side note on our brochure – it’s the core of who we are. We understand that anxious dogs:
•Don’t thrive in group settings – which is why we never do group play.
•Need consistency – same handlers, same routines, same calm environment
•React to environment – our brand new facility was designed with minimal stimulation zones
•Require patience – and our staff have over a decade of it.
Whether your dog has separation anxiety, noise phobia, general nervousness, or stress-related behaviors, we’ve seen it, we understand it, and we know how to help.

Dogs We Welcome (That Others Turn Away)

•Aggressive dogs – managed safely with individualized protocols
•Dogs requiring medication – administered on schedule by experienced staff
•Quarantine cases – isolated, monitored, cared for
•Senior dogs with health issues – supported by our in-house medical lab
•Dogs with behavioral challenges – no judgment, just professional care
•Any dog that’s been rejected by another kennel – call us

In-House Medical Lab

This is our secret weapon. Most boarding facilities have to call a vet, schedule an appointment, and transport your dog if something comes up. We handle it on-site. Our in-house medical lab means faster response times, less stress on your dog, and peace of mind for you.
