PUPPIES - Only 3 of our gorgeous Maremma puppies remain available to approved homes. We have 2 girls and a boy.

NEW PLAY AREA - We have expanded our gardens to include a third secure outside area for playtime and exercise. Allowing us to give free play space to entertain the socially awkward dogs in a separate garden area.

Due to a last minute cancellation, we have a space at our dog hotel in Barão São João tonight.
Might be useful if you’re heading out for the evening and don’t want to leave your dog/s home alone while there are fireworks.

RIVENDELL DOG KENNELS,
DOGGY DAY CARE &
LICENCED BREEDERS OF MAREMMANO-ABRUZZESE LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN DOGS (Maremma Sheepdogs).
Puppies are currently available.
Barao São João, Lagos

We offer dog boarding & day care in our large purpose built modern kennels with secure play fields for your dogs to run, play and relax. Whether you’re going on a long vacation, a quick weekend get-away or simply just for doggie day care, you can enjoy peace-of-mind knowing your dogs will be well cared for at Rivendell.

At Rivendell kennels, we only take in a handful of dogs at a time, which allows us to spend more time with each dog one-to-one. Each of our four-legged guests receives plenty of human TLC along with being able to interact with the other dogs in a safe atmosphere. This is an ideal situation for those dogs that do not like being in a big group.

Each kennel is spacious with an indoor and outdoor area. Large enough for two dogs from the same household to share.
The secure doggy play fields are available for supervised fun in small compatible groups.

Send us a message on WhatsApp if you would like to arrange a visit to our facilities or to choose your next puppy.

To check availability and to book, go to our website www.rivendellkennels.net

TiAmo - He hasn’t met the puppies yet and is blissfully un-aware that his fun times with Sassicaia resulted in these beautiful little ones.
