It can be treated with antibiotics, and should be.
Kennel Cough will often go away by itself after two or three weeks - but that doesn't mean you should leave it! During that time your dog can infect other dogs, can infect very old, very young or very sick humans or it can develope into more serious conditions.
Kennel Cough can also be misdiagniosed. You want to see a vet to rule out more serious illnesses like influenza, pneumonia, or distemper.
So don't leave it and don't take the pound's word for it. Take him to a vet and get some antibiotics.
