A Paw Above is an independent boarding kennel on the east side of Colorado Springs. Each run is 25 square feet behind a Dutch door with tempered glass on top, with solid dividers so dogs are not staring at each other, an elevated cot, and climate control; double runs are available for multi-dog families. There are ten artificial-turf outdoor yards, every guest gets at least an hour outside daily, and paid walks can be added. The building has monitored fire and security systems with closed-circuit cameras. Puppies and special-needs dogs are accepted. Drop-off hours are split morning and afternoon, with no drop-offs after 5 pm.
