about funnybones

Located just north of Atlanta, funnybones offers cage-free day play for happy, well-socialized dogs and cozy, private pens for extended stays.

At funnybones dogs have 5,000 sq ft of indoor/outdoor play space at their disposal – and they have the freedom to use it as they choose: play, sleep, bark, explore, slobber, dig, fetch...

Dogs are matched by size, activity level and disposition and a loving human is always on hand to provide care, supervision – and a lap to sit on! Safe dog toys, agility equipment, healthy treats and nap time round out the day play experience!

After a full day of playing, dogs staying overnight retire to spacious, individual pens where they enjoy all the comforts of home: a warm bed, plenty of fresh food and water, soft music and turndown treats. We can feed your dog your food or ours and we dispense medications at no extra charge.

We can accommodate only 45 overnight guests at a time. This means that your dog will be in good company, but will never be overwhelmed! By limiting the number of dogs we keep, we are able to give each dog more room to stretch out and relax. We are not in the business of warehousing dogs; instead, we have created an atmosphere that is comfy, cozy and stress-free.

funnybones maintains a clean, safe environment and a Vet is available 24 hours. All dogs must be current on their vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella) and should be in good overall health. Dogs eight months and older must be spayed/neutered to participate in group play.

Exercise and socialization lead to happier, healthier dogs. Time spent at funnybones can help eliminate boredom behavior like barking and chewing and is a great solution for dogs with separation anxiety, young pups with lots of energy and older dogs that need to go out more often.

funnybones also has a terrific selection of toys, leashes, collars and treats for purchase.

funnybones was established in 2004 by Kenya Newman and her two Weimaraners. After many years of caring for dogs and supporting their causes, Kenya decided to leave her career in marketing and fully commit to servicing our much-deserving canine companions. Kenya, aka “Top Dog”, is an ABKA (American Boarding Kennels Association) Certified Pet Care Technician and is Pet CPR Certified. She manages all day-to-day operations and, whenever necessary, defers to the expertise of her Bark of Directors, Pata and Caleb.
