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. Two  other pups from this Repeat breeding are also doing USAR training/work, and doing well.

We do wish them all the best, and great success.



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.
What's happening ...Puppies  Check out info below
Beautiful PUPPIES  -- Check out our Puppy page, for who is available and other details. (Page under construction)

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.

"NEW" Started dogs coming to our Started Dog program, more info below and on that page.
Maranatha Kennels is also proud to announce that our very first pup coming from our Started Dog Program, in 2006
Maranathas Black "Powder"
Is  theYoungest dog to pass an Advance FEMA USAR Test

NEW - Aerial View of Kennel Facility - Below
No  Tours are offered at this time, but with this aerial view,you can see the buildings, Training Center (by Top Pond), all our large outside Pens (for those in Day Care, or regular Boarders that ask for extra exercise for their dog while here)

For our Day Care Customers the back 5 acres is now all fenced in and go for supervised walks, plenty of water/land for them to enjoy.

One of our 2008 goals is to add a Agility course in the front field to make available for training.

We are also adding a small building that will be a multipurpose of a small retail store in time to come, and our private/quiet  area birthing area for our Lab puppies.  Also a quiet area for our older dogs coming in...

coming up the driveway you can see the Agility/confidence course, for our Training dogs - which include, our own, S&R, Retriever training, and those in Boot Camp


Maranathas Training Center will be starting up some New Beginner Classes July 8th, a wed night......Come Join Us...it will be our last beginner class till Sept...

...Maranatha Kennels Wants to "CONGRATULATE" the following...
Some of our Started young dogs, and their owners... that have just recently passed what is called a FSA testing, (Fundamental Skills Assessment)...This is a test that comes before the Advance FEMA  Canine Evaluation Testing...for USAR (urban Search and Rescue)  Work...

Since our first Started dog left here, we continue to be very careful to select and evaluate the most promising pups for this USAR Program (and others programs)...Below are a few of some of the recent pups/young dogs that have passed FSA's and FEMA testing in 2008/2009

These Men and Women put hours upon hours into training time to have their dogs ready for deployment, so they can go out as a team to help save lives...and for that we want to say "THANK YOU"....
