Located just north of Atlanta, Funnybones for Big Dogs is our new spin-off facility offering cage-free day play exclusively to happy, well-socialized big dogs - weighing 50+ lbs. We also offer cozy, private pens for extended stays.

Dogs have more than 6,000 sq. ft. of indoor/outdoor play space at their disposal. They are matched by size, activity level and disposition and a loving, skilled handler 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, secure pens where they enjoy all the comforts of home: a warm bed, plenty of fresh food and water, soft music and turndown treats. Mealtimes feature your food or ours - and we dispense medications at no charge.

We accommodate only 40 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.

We maintain a clean, safe environment and emergency vet care is a short drive away. 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 with us 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.

Dad, Daughter – and Dogs
Funnybones was established in 2004 when Kenya Newman decided to leave her career in marketing and live her dream of caring for dogs and supporting animal causes. In 2006 Kenya successfully lured her father away from his job in telecommunications (It didn’t take much convincing!) and ever since, this father-daughter team has been joyfully devoted to serving their canine clientele – rain or shine, 365 days a year!
