Running Every Wednesday!

As we grow our business, Happy Hounds wants to give focus to a very important group of dogs.  When our furry friends grow older, their desires and requirements change ever so slightly.  Sometimes stairs are either stressful or impossible for our aging companions.  Maybe they require regular topical medication applications.  Perhaps while they still deserve the freedom of a cage free environment, they prefer a little less stimulation and ruckus?  Happy Hounds is making these age old loved ones a greater priority. 

Second / senior pack runs every Wednesday in their very own pack!  These dogs might move a little slower and play a little softer, but they are still going to get the same one on one attention with an extra dash of supervision and closer attention to detail.  Our objective is for our pet parents to feel confident their old chaps and dames are safe and well cared for in a stress-free environment with humans they trust. 


  • Socialization Galore – Dogs get to mingle, play, and vibe with others all day. This helps build confidence, reduce fear or aggression, and teaches good doggy manners.
  • Freedom to Roam – No crates or kennels-just open play areas. Dogs can move around, stretch, and relax as they please, which can lower stress and anxiety.
  • Constant Supervision – Trained staff are always around to monitor behavior, manage play, and step in if any pup gets too rowdy. It’s not a chaotic free-for-all.
  • More Natural Environment – Cage-free setups mimic how dogs play and rest in packs. It’s more intuitive and less restrictive, so they tend to 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.
  • No Lonely Crate Time – Instead of being cooped up alone for hours, dogs receive stimulation, affection, and freedom to move around and, though supervised, make their own good choices.
