Adam’s Folly is not a traditional boarding kennel. Guests receive individualized attention, lots and lots of love and spend their time in a comfortable homey environment. Depending on your dog’s personality and size he may spend the night in either a spacious indoor/outdoor run, or in one of the special suites we have for families or our older patrons. We reserve the right to determine where your pet may be most comfortable. We limit the number of guests so call for reservations well in advance. We also request that you call as soon as possible if you need to cancel reservations.

Per NC State Agricultural law, all food must be stored in airtight containers. Therefore, we cannot accept food in ziploc or plastic bags unless it comes in an airtight plastic container with a sealed lid. Also, all medication must come with the original pill bottle with the dosage, name and vet on the label in order for us to administer it. If you put medication in a pill box or ziploc bag, we still need the empty pill bottles to be able to show the inspector. We have bedding here so please do not bring huge beds that we are unable to fit in a washing machine and wash if needed. You may bring smaller beds and blankets if you prefer.

See boarding agreement at the bottom of the page.

OTHER THINGS WE WANT YOU TO KNOW

We are a fully air conditioned and heated indoor facility. No dogs are housed outside over night. (I only mention this because I get it asked often).

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

Proof of current vaccinations are required. Dogs must have proof of current inoculations for rabies, distemper, parvo and Bordetella (kennel cough). Puppies must have proof of current rabies immunization at 4 months of age and we require two distemper/parvo vaccines. Your veterinarian can provide you with the necessary verification paperwork. Ask them to fax it to us at 1-910-898-8033 or email us at adamsfolly@atmc.net. Since vaccinations can take up to 7 days to take effect, we recommend that they be done at least 7 days before you board your pet.

BEDDING & TOYS

We provide all our guests with Kuranda cots and/or blankets and bedding.
You are welcome to bring any bedding and toys from home, however we cannot guarantee their return or condition. Please do not bring large beds that we can not wash if they get soiled.

INSECT & PARASITE CONTROL

We strive to keep our Adam's Folly Bed & Biscuit flea and tick free.

The perimeter of the facility is sprayed for fleas and ticks. If we see fleas and ticks on your pet we will bathe it and there will be an additional $25 (and up, depending on size of dog) fee charged.

Despite the precautions we are unable to guarantee that your pet will be free of parasites when you check out.
