Specialized in Greyhounds and allows you to stay with your dog throughout the visit.The Vet and assistant love this breed and educate you the entire time. They are higher than most, but you get what you pay for at this place!

This is such a wonderful location for retired greyhounds to stay during their transition from track life to pet life, or for pets to stay while their human parents are away!!Hunz and Nelly are excellent, experienced caretakers for the dogs and treat them firmly and with love and compassion. The yard allows the dogs to run, play, and socialize safely multiple times every day. And the kennels are always very clean, well maintained and properly temperature controlled. With so many rescue organizations visiting regularly, the dogs also get good human interaction time.The location is easy to find and parking is easy, too. For the last 13 years, visiting Emerald and boarding my own pets with Hunz have been consistently positive experiences for me!!

My buddies and I were planning a day ski trip to the Wilmot Mountain Resort and were ecstatic to find a nearby boarding center for our greyhound. It's always worrisome to leave your pup behind in an unknown environment, but after speaking with Hans (owner), we knew he'd be in great hands. Very cheap day rates which was also a plus, and only located 15 minutes from the ski resort, could not have worked out more perfectly from a logistics perspective. Thank you Hans, we'll see you again soon!Best,Charlie

Hunz loves greyhounds, and they love him. He really looks after them.He works with greyhound rescue groups and most of the rescued greyhounds coming to northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin get kenneled here, before being adopted.He also welcomes back greyhounds for boarding at very competitive rates. The hounds love it as they are amongst other greyhounds, get to exercise in a large enclosed area and also have an outside run accessible to reach cage.He also works with one of the country's foremost veterinary experts on greyhounds, so the dogs have access to the best medical care should they need it.

It's hard to find ppl that love your dog as much as you do, but not here. Our pup is safe, well fed and well cared for here. Great people. More than fair prices. Lots of love for the doggies.

For the most part I love going to Emerald because it means I will be doing something with the beloved Greyhound breed.
This visit was to adopt our newest family member. The volunteers at the kennel or amazing and great to work with. The location may be far away for us, but it's worth the trip.
