Cage-Free Overnight Care for Small Dogs

Our approach is simple: provide a premium, home-like boarding experience where your dog receives exceptional care in a safe, transparent environment.

At The Furry Inn, we take a different approach by offering cage-free boarding for small dogs in Bridgeport, giving them more freedom to move, play, and relax.


During their stay, your dog becomes part of our daily routine. They spend the day enjoying supervised daycare activities, exploring open play areas, and socializing with other small dogs in carefully matched groups.


At night, they settle into clean, cozy, and supervised sleeping areas where they can rest comfortably, knowing our experienced team is always nearby to care for them.

Temperament Evaluation Before Boarding

To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog, we require all new boarding guests to complete a temperament evaluation before their first overnight stay.

During this visit, our team gets to know your dog's personality, observes how they interact in our cage-free environment, and carefully matches them with compatible playmates. This allows us to create the safest and most comfortable experience possible.


The evaluation is relaxed, positive, and designed to help your dog become familiar with our facility and staff. If your dog prefers people over group play, we'll tailor their daily schedule to include the right balance of individual attention, exercise, and rest.
