Although the phrase "being in the doghouse" has negative connotations to some, it doesn't to HFL's dogs. All dog rooms have:

All dogs (except for a few who chew them to shreds) have comfy futon couches. In addition, they have hammocks and are provided quilts, blankets and fleece pads at night, and during day if comfort requires. Older dogs are provided 7-inch thick orthopedic cushions.

Townhouses

three dogs; one standing on a futon, one jumping off the futon, and the other running on the floor
HFL canine residents enjoy a romp inside their doggie townhouse. They also love it when people visit. See two views of doggies townhouses from the outside: [1] and [2]. Back to indoor romp.

HFL's townhouses are designed to house fractious dogs who need to live either in smaller groups, solo, or in pairs due to unpredictability with other dogs.

These dogs live very happily in such accommodations. The townhouses vary from 160 to 320 square feet, and are in all respects as well appointed as the apartments in our dog building: insulated and heated, air conditioned with linoleum floors, futons, windows and overhead fans and dog doors providing access to spacious outdoor runs.

All the townhouse dogs exercise each day in our 1/4 acre sod-covered exercise run or in our big fields, and some attend training classes.
