Why kennel-free?
Dogs are pack animals. So is our facility.
Traditional kennels stack dogs in stainless steel runs. We don't. At Ruffin Inn, dogs board in private suites, play in open group yards with trained handlers, and nap on cots — not concrete. The result: less stress, more rest, and a happier dog when you pick them up.
Twelve years of family-run experience. Open-door tour policy. Daily photo updates on Facebook so you always know how your dog is doing.
Ready when you are.
Book a stay, schedule a tour, or text our team. We'd love to meet your dog.
