SGT loves Hound Town. It is the perfect mix of social and solo time for him. The staff always warmly welcomes him and share stories of his shenanigans during pickup. I have absolutely no worries when I am traveling because I know he is in loving hands. This is the only place that I will and want to board him.

They had really good reviews on Google so I decided this was the best option for my Frenchie. He loves going. He never wants to leave and he comes back home so tired from DayCare. It’s amazing and they stay on top of Everything and always communicate through email or phone. He comes back with artwork treats, and just lots of love.

This place is exceptional! The customer service is wonderful, and Victor, the owner, is amazing. I trust them with both my dog and my cat, and they’ll be boarding them while I travel next month. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies will be in good hands. I highly recommend them!

My dog absolutely loves Puppy Haven Buckhead. She starts getting so excited and can't sit still when she sees that we are pulling into the parking lot to drop her off for the day. She is super well taken care of, and we couldn't have picked a better spot to send her to daycare. The staff are all so friendly and nice. Highly recommend!
