Message from the Business
Welcome to Happy Hound! Im Suzanne Golter, and when I started Happy Hound boarding, and daycare, I knew one thing for sure: I wanted this to be a FUN place for dogs. I wanted every tail wagging, every dog tugging at the leash to come in, and every owner feeling really good about leaving their dog here.
But the best thing about Happy Hound may be the effect it has on dogs after they leave here. We see it happen all the time. Shy dogs learn to be sociable and confident; nervous dogs become calmer; overweight dogs increase their metabolism
and they all have a ball!
I like to think of Happy Hound as your dogs home away from home. Dogs love it here, and we love them right back! I invite you to stop by for a tour, or to make a reservation. We look forward to getting to know your dog
and you!

on Citysearch Apr 11, 2008I have heard good things about them, but when I called them about daycare for my 5-year-old, 6-lb. toy dog, it was kind of a washout. I was told that he could only be accommodated with the puppies, and I know my guy enjoys... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 20, 2008I'm rather stunned by the recent harsh negative reviews. I started taking my big, high-spirited pup there a couple of months ago, and it has been great for him. I put him in day-care so that he can get a full day of... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 17, 2008I found Happy Hounds (HH) via this site with positive remarks & that's why I decided to take my dog there for daycare/overnights; however, my experience was quite the opposite. I'm a responsible dog owner with a very... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 05, 2006I can't say enough to explain how both me and my dogs feel about Happy Hound. The service is great, the enviroment is great, the staff is above great! I come from a small town and to move to the bay area with my pooches it was... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 02, 2004I am so afraid to refer people to kennels in the local area. I have been thrilled to find such a great new facility that I can refer with confidence, especially with so many of us who work late and would like to bring our... (more)
