About Us

More Than Boarding. A Retreat for Your Dog.

Welcome to Dog River Retreat, a veteran-owned countryside dog boarding retreat located on 18 beautiful acres in Douglasville, Georgia.


Here, dogs enjoy wide-open spaces, supervised outdoor adventures, and plenty of time to run, play, and socialize with compatible companions. We only accept highly socialized pups that thrive in this environment. We do not allow aggressive breeds. 


Whether you're heading out of town for the weekend or planning an extended vacation, we provide a comfortable, engaging home away from home for your dog.


We proudly serve Douglasville, Villa Rica, Carrollton, and surrounding West Georgia communities, with convenient boarding transportation available for select Atlanta neighborhoods, including Buckhead, Brookhaven, Vinings, and Sandy Springs.

We Let Dogs Be Dogs!
