some of the alpine bamboo might do the trick. Make sure you get the clumping variety though.

A couple of evergreen options would be Green Giant arborvitae and Leyland Cypress. There are advantages to each. I believe the arborvitae are less susceptible to ice damage, but the Leylands are less susceptible to deer browsing. I've seen arborvitas that have had all their foliage stripped to the height of about 4 feet.

How wide is the place you want privacy for? You could do a tall trellis section (maybe with a bench or something in front) and cover with fast growing vines.
I agree with Terry about the green giant cedars and cypress. Alot of other shrubs and trees are going to take alot of time to reach that height.

hello
i have heard that "service berry" & "viburnums" for trees are great for fast growing to provide privacy and "quince, walking stick, and fountain grass". the quince and the walking stick i believe flower so they look really good.
i can only imagine how the kennels woudl look and hopefully this is a solution to the problem...
good luck...
