We’re George and Cindy Kofoed, proud new owners of Kerfree and lifelong dog lovers based in Long Island, NY!
​
In 2025, we purchased Kerfree - a kennel long loved by dog breeders and families; known for its quality boarding services. It was a dream opportunity: a chance to blend exceptional care with our dream. What began as a traditional boarding kennel has since also grown into something even more meaningful to us - a safe haven and sanctuary for our rescue dogs in need of love, stability, and a second chance.
​
In addition to operating Kerfree, we run our dog rescue, A Team Elite! Many of our rescues find comfort and care here while they wait for their forever homes. With over 25 years of experience working with animals, we truly enjoy every moment we get to spend with them! Kerfree is more than a business to us; it’s a place where dogs are nurtured, rehabilitated, and genuinely cared for like family.We always have wonderful dogs available for adoption and warmly welcome meet-and-greets for prospective families. Whether you’re looking to adopt or need a trusted, comfortable place for your dog to stay, we’re here for you!
​
We are proud to continue offering boarding services and are excited about our plans to expand and enhance our facilities to make every dog’s stay even more comfortable, enriching, and secure.
​
At Kerfree, every dog matters and we look forward to welcoming you and your furry family friends!
