Happy Hounds is staffed 365 Days / 7 Days a week / 24 Hours! 100% supervised Cage Free care!
- Home-Like Environment – Dogs stay in open, cozy spaces that feel more like home and less like a kennel. This helps them stay calm, happy, and relaxed.
- 24/7 Human Supervision – Staff are present around the clock to provide care, comfort, and immediate attention if anything comes up-day or night.
- Freedom to Move – Dogs aren’t confined to a cage or “pet suite.” They can move, stretch, and rest freely throughout the facility.
- Better Sleep Quality – With the freedom to choose their favorite comfy spot, and not being locked in a crate, many dogs rest better and feel more at ease.
- Reduced Stress for Separation Anxiety – Dogs prone to freaking out when left alone get companionship, cuddles, and attention. Hour by hour their experiences are positive and rewarding.
- Peace of Mind for Pet Parents – You can travel or take time away knowing your dog is not just “watched,” but loved, entertained, and treated like family.
