Welcome to Pawtopia Pet Resort & Rescue, proud home of CKC & NIPPO Registered Last Samurai Kennel

About Pawtopia Pet Resort At Pawtopia Pet Resort, your dog is more than a guest—they’re part of our family. We’re a family-owned and operated boarding facility dedicated to the comfort, safety, and happiness of every dog in our care. As registered breeders, we have experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, large and small. Pawtopia is licensed by the Township of Southgate as a dog kennel, boarding facility, and rescue centre, and is fully insured. Our facility has also been inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for dog quarantine services. We’re proud to have earned a Canadian Choice Award for our commitment to exceptional care. Owner Anastassia Kibzoun-Shtefan is a member in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club, Nihonken Hozonkai (NIPPO), Canadian Akita Club, and Grey Bruce Kennel and Obedience Club. She also serves as Ontario Regional Director for the Samoyed Association of Canada.

Set on 25 acres of wooded countryside between Blue Mountain Village and Grand Valley, Pawtopia offers dogs room to relax, explore, and enjoy fresh country air. At your request, and as an additional service, your dog can take part in supervised activities such as outdoor play, time by the fireplace, and a splash in the pool. Activities are arranged with your dog’s needs in mind, and you decide what’s right for them. Choose from extra-large and large VIP rooms or our standard guest rooms. Each room includes an orthopedic DoggySnooze bed, cozy blankets, toys, and stress-relief treats to help your dog settle in after a busy day. We also offer grooming by appointment and keep a small pet shop on site for last-minute essentials. For added peace of mind, an on-call veterinarian at Heartland Veterinary Hospital is available for emergencies. We understand the trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and we’re committed to looking after them with the same care and affection we give our own. ​​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​
