Kelly Run Farm – Odenville of Trussville

Kelly Run Farm, Odenville of Trussville is a pet boarding facility in Trussville, Alabama, specializing in providing spacious, enriching stays for large dogs, particularly retrievers, while welcoming pets of all sizes. The farm offers a safe, healthy, and joyful environment where dogs enjoy daily walks through wooded trails, access to ponds, and opportunities to interact with wildlife like deer, wild turkeys, ducks, and occasional geese. The facility was created by Clarke and Dyxie Pauly, who built their 20-acre property into a dedicated training and recreation space after being dissatisfied with traditional boarding options. Their experience with training and handling working retrievers informs every aspect of care, ensuring dogs receive the physical and emotional stimulation they need. The boarding service operates with flexible drop-off and pick-up hours and is open to guests year-round, except on major holidays.

The Pauly family’s deep commitment to working retrievers began in 1994 with the arrival of their first field golden retriever, Scout, who inspired their journey into the sport. After Scout’s passing in 2000, they welcomed Beanie, a highly trained male golden retriever, who became a cornerstone of their training and boarding efforts. Over time, the farm evolved into a community of animal lovers, with staff like Chanee Otwell, the kennel manager, bringing years of experience in animal rescue and care. The team shares a passion for dogs, creating a family-like atmosphere where every pet is treated with individual attention and affection.

Located on Highway 174, the farm sits on a secluded stretch of land just beyond the Aradon Farms subdivision, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. With a 4.80 rating and positive reviews from guests, Kelly Run Farm is known for its thoughtful, personalized care and the unique outdoor experiences it provides. The farm stands out in Trussville as a trusted destination for pet owners seeking more than just temporary housing, offering a true home away from home where dogs thrive.
