Shady Oaks Boarding Kennel - Tiger, Georgia

I moved to the Rabun Gap area 2 years and have exclusively used Shady Oaks for my two dogs Milo and Ollie. Their ears perk up with excitement when I tell them they are going there. The girls at shady oaks are friendly and will accommodate you when you need help. It was a major weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that my dogs had a safe and happy place to go, when I wasn’t able to watch them. I highly recommend them.

Let me speak on behalf of our fur babies. They love going to Shady Oaks. They literally claw at the front door to get in when we drop them off for boarding or grooming. They have never done this at any other place we have taken them…they usually try to retreat back to our vehicle. They are also the only groomer who actually groomed our mini Aussies perfectly. The whole staff has been so welcoming to us and even was gracious to check our doggos in when we were a couple minutes past 12pm one day. So blessed to have such a great doggie camp in Rabun County who takes care of our lovely fur babies!

Have boarded my dogs twice at this kennel! Great prices for boarding! I purposely board my dogs outside of the Atlanta area as they are insanely expensive. My dogs seem to have enjoyed their time at the kennel.

A friend recommended Shady Oaks to us because we had an upcoming trip. We had enough notice to schedule our dogs for a daycare stay prior, and our dogs couldn't have been happier! The staff was sweet and polite. We boarded the dogs a couple of weeks later for 5 nights. We sent them with their own food, bedding, and meds. They looked happy and healthy when we picked them up. We will use Shady Oaks again for daycare as well as boarding!

We took our pup chevy there and he came back happy, healthy and with no problemos!

This was our very first visit... I requested a teddy bear cut, she (Candice) agreed and this is what I came home to... with messages telling me to “get over it” when asking for a partial refund. I’m appalled that this woman thinks her grooming and her attitude was professional and people should see what she did to our dogs. They were groomed at the end of May before moving here and she claimed they were matted and it took all day... I dropped them at 11am and they were picked up at 4:30pm. 5hrs for 3 dogs is all day?! “Get over it”!? We’re heart broken! I’m still waiting on the “break down of charges” email and partial (if not FULL refund!), too.

🙁 Beware!

Always great with our two auzzies. They always run right in with no hesitation!

I have never been so impressed with a Day care for my baby girl Irma Lee as I was with Shady Oaks. They went above and beyond for my special little angel. I could see that she had such a good time there. I wished I lived a lot closer, because I've never seen my baby so happy before. They took such good care of her. I was nearly in tears seeing how much fun she was having and how happy she was. Really is 5 Stars enough for Shady Oaks? No it should be a lot more. I can't recommend Shady Oaks enough! You can feel safe knowing that your precious little family member will get lots of play and love. Next time I'm in Georgia I'll make the trip just for Irma Lee. I want to give them a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just so very wonderful.
