Welcome to Shamrock Ranch!
Located in a scenic valley just 15 miles south of San Francisco, Shamrock Ranch has something to offer every dog. Many kennels in the area exist within more of a warehouse setting, but Shamrock Ranch sets itself apart with 200 acres of open space, cool coastal breezes and a relaxed ambiance. Whether your dog needs a place to stay during a family trip, playtime with other dogs to burn off some energy or even a bit of training, we commit ourselves to providing dogs of all breeds and temperaments with a safe and fun home away from home.
Shamrock Ranch began as a family-owned, family-operated business in 1939 and remains that way to this day. We have decades of experience, with staff on site 24 hours a day. Our professional and caring staff would love to answer any questions you may have, as well as help with anything you and your dog(s) may need.
