Check-in

We always charge for the day of check-in regardless of the time of day. There is no charge for the day of pick-up provided you pick-up before Noon.

Leash your dogs

dogs on leash There are horses, alpacas and llamas on the farm. The farm and the island are a lot of territory to cover, so all dogs must be on leash. Keep your dog on a leash for your dog's safety.

Thank you and we look forward to caring for your dog.

Directions

Charlton Kennel is located on Sauvie Island at 13825 NW Charlton Road, Portland, OR 97231. Do be aware that MapQuest directions are incorrect!

Sauvie Island Map Take Highway 30 North, toward St. Helens and Scappoose. Turn right onto the Sauvie Island Bridge.

At the end of the bridge ramp, continue straight, past the small store on your left. Follow the dike road about 1 1/2 miles to the fork and turn right onto Reeder Road.

Go about 1/4 mile on Reeder Road, then turn right, immediately before the school, onto NW Charlton Road. Follow this road as it curves left, then right. At the top of the hill you will see the brick gates of Charlton Kennels and Farm straight ahead of you.

Drive down the one lane driveway through the fields and past the small river to the main parking area. The kennel reception area is to your right.
