For "all" Boarding / Day Care information visit: About Maranatha.
Our hours on the weekends do change in the Winter vs. Summer. We would hate to have you make a trip and not have us be open. Please take a look at season changes.
We hope you enjoy going though our web site. Our site has lots of photos for your viewing pleasure and as a means to enable you to obtain a good idea about the services we provide and who we are in relation to our kennel services; especially with our "Day Care" program.
"Sorry." We do not provide guided tours as our time is consumed with our attention given to our furry friends... If you would like to meet with us and ask additional questions, please call for an appointment; ask for Robin.
Update... For all of those who have watched this talented young dog though this past year; along with us, she is one of our pups kept for our 2006 Started Dog Program.
This talented dog named Powder. Two (2) days after turning 18 months, qualified for her first Urban Disaster Search and Rescue Test through FEMA (Advance)
Powder, (Nicknamed PowPow) and Owner / Handler - Lt. Brian Smithey are with Tampa Fire and Rescue, out of Florida.
Powder is out of a Breeding between our HR Maranathas Pewter to Gold SH WCX and a well known Field Champion FC Running with the Devil. Three other pups from Repeat breeding's are also now in training for their FSA, and FEMA USAR Tests.
We do wish them all the best, and great success.
We have a litter due from Pewter out of a Devil Son - FC CAFC Water Marks II - (Copper), due the end of March 2008, many of these pups are entering our Started Dog program...
PLEASE READ ...
To come to our Kennel facility, you need to come up a "long" driveway. You "MUST" drive the posted speed limit of 5 MPH; ESPECIALLY coming into the high traffic areas (Parking lots).
We love all of our Dog's, our Customers Dog(s), not to mention our Grandchildren that come for visits, so we appreciate your helping us with this safety measure as it may save a life someday.

Obedience Classes: Check our Obedience page for details about our Classes - Times and levels.
New for Obedience; along with our Bootcamp that takes dogs 6 months and up, we are offering a "Puppy Boot Camp; but its really not a bootcamp... its to take in puppies and for 3 weeks, teach them many of the basic behaviors, and perhaps undo some already existing "bad" behaviors.

Read about a wonderful Story below on one of our Started Pups helping to save a life...
Our Started Dog Program; started in 2006, is becoming more and more popular. We start pups with their basic obedience, work them in our agility / confidence course, many types of socializing; including taking to all locations that allow Service dogs. They take many other field trips as well, and in the summer, get early swimming lessons; several ponds being right on site. The pups that we currently have in our Program are out of our "Punch" and "Pride" and our "Patty" and FC Running with the Devil...also one from our Daisy and FC Running with the Devil...
If your interested in ordering a pup, or a started dog, many people order a puppy and leave them with us, till the program is done. (Just give us a e-mail - info@maranathakennels.com Pictures below is one of our Started Dogs that is a very special dog...many of our pups are equally special and are now currently in the different stages of their training...and can be seen on our Started dog page (at the bottom)

One other Puppy not shown here is P.C. (Pride/Punch) owner/handler is Ryan. These pups/ young dogs are all working toward the goal to be FEMA certified . Repeat breeding on many of these great pups will take place this Feb/March for spring litters. (If interested please let us know)
His Name is Partner, Named by his Owner...Partner was purchased as a pup and placed in our Started Dog program for basic Training.
His new owner needed a pet that would alert when her insulin level was not right...
At only 7 months of Age...Partner did just that...over the weekend, his owner was in trouble, Her Insulin pump had malfunctioned,... with a insulin count going off the charts, and his owner slipping into a deeper and deeper sleep... He sensed something was wrong...he repeatedly pestered her, by licking and licking the face area till she started to regain consciousness, and was able to realize something "was" wrong.
She is very proud and thankful to have Partner in her life...and so are we.
Partner has a sister (Bailey) on the Tampa Taskforce II also training to someday save lives...they are out of our "Pocket", Partner is also a 1/2 Brother to Phoenix (Pictured above)
A very similar breeding will take place this coming spring.
