Boarding your dog at Bark ATL

Summer is right around the corner and I'm sure a vacation is on your mind. Wondering what to do with the fur kids?? Board them with us! Most facilities cage their dogs at night and everyone leaves the building. At BARK ATL, we offer completely cage-free boarding with a staff member on site 24/7. We are a smaller facility, so we don't have 100 dogs boarding a night - we average about 15-20 dogs a night, so your dog won't be "lost in the pack". The dogs sleep in the same area they play in during the day. We bring out the fluffy beds and blankets, dim the lights and turn on soft music. The dogs are tired after a long day of play so they are relaxed & ready to curl up with their friends, next to their friends, or in a comfy corner by themselves. It's about as close to being at home as you can get! 

We have created a boarding form to make the check in process easy. Just print, fill it out and bring it in with you when you drop off your pup. Please take advantage of our valet barking, too. When you arrive, pull up to the back of the building and a staff member will come out and take your pup in to play with his/her friends. What should you bring?? Since we provide beds, blankets and toys the only thing you need to bring is your pups food and favorite treats.

 

Only dogs that pass the temperament test at BARK ATL are allowed to board with us. We have ZERO tolerance for aggression of any kind. Rest assured that your dog is playing during the day & sleeping at night with ONLY very sociable, non-aggressive, sweet dogs! 

 If you have any questions about boarding your pet with us please feel free to comment below, email us at info@barkatl.com or you can do it the old fashioned way and call us at 404-688-2275!

Meet Bark ATL's Staff: Kristina

We would like for you to get to know the staff at Bark ATL better so we are introducing our Meet the Staff posts! Since I am the one writing them I figured I would go first. My name is Kristina and I am the newest addition to Bark ATL. I started in September 2010 and boy has it been fun! I have over 14 years of veterinary experience but decided it was time for a change. Being the assistant manager has its challenges but the rewards far outweigh them. I also own my own wedding planning business, My Bride Idea which keeps me busy when I am not taking care of the pups!! 

Me:

My house is full with an almost 17 year old son named Tyler, two dogs, a Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel mix named Hobbes and a Border Collie/Greyhound mix named Lilly Bean AND two cats, Twister and Annabelle. My kitty cat kids were brought into the animal hospital where I worked as newborns that had been abandoned by their mother. We bottle fed them and as soon as they were big enough they came to live with me. My pups were rescues through Ruffus Rescue. I am secretly looking to adopt a tiny Chihuahua but don't tell my husband!

 Twister:

 

Annabelle:

Lilly Bean:

Hobbes:

Working at Bark ATL is awesome! There is nothing better than a big kiss in the face from a room full of pups! When I am not at Bark ATL I like to spend time with friends, shopping, cooking, and going to Braves games.My life is pretty hectic but it is a lot of fun.
