Dog boarding · Kountze, Texas
We board dogs at our home in Kountze.
Overnight, weekend, holiday, and extended stays for Southeast Texas families. All breeds welcome. Someone is here with the dogs day and night.
Home-style boarding
Your dog stays at our home, not in a building down the road.
We have raised dogs at this address since 2002, and we board for local families the same way we care for our own: in the house and yard, on a normal routine, with someone here.
That is the whole difference. Most kennels lock the doors at night and nobody comes back until morning. At Texas Doodles, we live here. Your dog is never alone overnight.
Room to be a dog
Outdoor time and play in a home setting instead of a concrete run.
Their own routine
Send their food and medications. We keep the schedule they already know.
Updates while you travel
Photos and check-ins so you know how the stay is going.
How it works
Three steps, no guesswork.
Send your dates
Fill out the request form below or call. Tell us who is coming and when.
We confirm
Stacy follows up with availability, rates, and drop-off details, and answers anything you want to ask first.
Drop off and go
Bring their food, medications, and vaccination records. Then go enjoy your trip.
What to bring
- Enough of their regular food for the whole stay, plus a day or two
- Any medications, clearly labeled with instructions
- Proof of current vaccinations from your veterinarian
- A leash and collar with current ID tags
- Something that smells like home: a bed, blanket, or favorite toy
- Your contact numbers and your veterinarian’s
Who we board for
We are in Kountze, in Hardin County, an easy drive for families in Lumberton, Silsbee, Sour Lake, Village Mills, Honey Island, Beaumont, and the surrounding Southeast Texas communities.
You do not need to have a Texas Doodles dog to board with us. All breeds and sizes are welcome after a quick conversation about your dog.
Holidays and school breaks fill up first. If you already know your travel dates, send them early. It costs nothing to ask, and it beats scrambling the week before.
Boarding request
Tell us about your dog and your dates.
This goes straight to Stacy. She will get back to you to confirm availability and everything else.
Boarding questions
What families ask before they book.
Do I have to be a Texas Doodles puppy family to board?
No. We board dogs for local families whether or not their dog came from our program.
What breeds and sizes do you accept?
All breeds and sizes are welcome after a quick conversation about your dog, their temperament, and how they do around other dogs.
Are vaccinations required?
Yes. Every dog that stays with us must be current on vaccinations, and we ask for records from your veterinarian.
Is someone there overnight?
Yes. We live on the property, so your dog is not left alone in a building overnight.
What should I bring?
Their regular food for the length of the stay, any medications with instructions, vaccination records, a leash and collar with ID, and something familiar such as a bed or a favorite toy.
What does boarding cost, and what are your hours?
Rates and drop-off windows depend on the stay, so call or text 409-284-1997 or send the request form and Stacy will confirm everything with you directly.
Do you board over holidays?
Holiday and school-break dates are available but fill up quickly. Send your dates as early as you can.
Where are you located?
Texas Doodles is at 10084 FM 421 in Kountze, Texas, an easy drive from Lumberton, Silsbee, Sour Lake, and Beaumont.
