Who We Are
Meet the proud owners of Yakima Canine Club; Paul and Shannon Needham. This dynamic duo shares a deep-rooted love for animals, especially dogs. With their two boys, Dane and Brock, by their side, they've been immersed in the world of fostering and caring for dogs for over a decade.
Paul and Shannon toured over 40 facilities in the Pacific Northwest and spent a week in Houston, Texas at the ABC pet resort “owner camp” experience. With that research they hired the premier company TurnKey architecture out of Houston, Texas who specialize in Boarding facility design. The custom design of Yakima Canine Club is catered to the care and concern for each of the dogs that will come through our doors.
Having grown up with dogs themselves, Paul and Shannon understand the importance of providing a nurturing and loving environment for every furry friend that comes their way. Their dedication to the well-being and happiness of dogs is at the heart of everything they do at Yakima Canine Club.
