Here at Happy Hounds, we offer a 365/24/7 supervised, cage-free environment for your pup. In order to keep all of our Happy Hounders safe and comfortable, we have a multi-step enrollment process to evaluate your pups temperament and comfortability within our pack!
When you leave your dog at Happy Hounds, you can rest comfortably knowing we care for your pup as one of our own. In our totally cafe-free facility, dogs are family. They are supervised in playgroups of various sizes and temperaments, mingling with their pooch pals, and having a great time! Our priority is the welfare and happiness of all Happy Hounders. Our climate controlled facility offers multiple playrooms & includes an outdoor fenced yard.
Happy Hounds is complete with furry friends, toys, beds / cots for naps, pooch-pools in the summertime, and even TV! There’s lots of hugs and rubs given too, and your favorite Fido will go home at the end of the day satisfied, loved, and exhausted!

Completing Enrollment – First Paid Day
In order to complete the enrollment process, your dog must attend one additional day of daycare. Upon pick up, you may either pay for the single day or purchase a Pre-Paid Pass
Note for Newly Enrolled Dogs: We ask that the first three visits are within the first two weeks of enrollment to allow your dog to become familiar with our facility, other dogs, and our staff. This will make the adjustment of coming to daycare much easier and less stressful on your dog.
