So the only thing that you are concerned about is the Kennel Cough? Since it is highly contagious, I would think the other dogs might have it too. I know I would rather treat Joey myself, than him being in a kennel environment or even a hospital, unless it was absolutely necessary.

If you see a kennel dog you want to adopt, don’t be discouraged even if they are coughing. Kennel cough is easily overcome. Once a dog is taken from the stress of a shelter and given a loving home and some time to heal, you’ll soon forget about the cough. But the dog will always remember that you gave him a home when others wouldn’t.
Here's a link to Kennel Cough. Venerable Vet: Kennel Cough
