I’m Suzanne Golter, and when I started Happy Hound Play & 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.

For those reasons, I designed our facility with the dogs’ safety, comfort, and well being as our highest priorities. From our years of experience caring for dogs, we know that they greatly prefer natural sunlight, access to the indoors and outdoors all day, natural air flow, and cage-free play. You’ll find each of these elements incorporated into our facility. We also have special areas for smaller and shy dogs and clean, private rooms for boarding.  Read more about our Fun Facilities »
