Happy Dog Pet Resort

A CAGELESS VACATION CARE & DAY CARE CENTER


What we do:

Cageless Dog Boarding consists of dogs staying in the Happy Dog Resort, a licensed one floor house that is especially equipped for dogs. It has non-absorbent floors & wall coverings to ensure effective sanitation for the safety of your pet. This however, is the only way in which Happy Dog resembles a dog boarding facility. Our facility is designed to make your dog think he/she is staying at someone's house, thereby greatly reducing his/her "away from home" stress.

There is a doggie living room with vinyl couches, a kitchen, a playroom as well as additional resting rooms. Other amenities include central A/C and heat, cable television, a deck for lounging and multiple play yards, consisting of artificail turf, grass or pea gravel. 6 foot high stockade fence surrounds the entire perimeter of approximately 1/4 an acre. Your dog spends his/her day interacting with other dogs and the staff in a free roaming environment. For his/her time with us, your dog is a part of an ever changing, yet well guided, "pack" or family of dogs.

Your dog's health, behavior, eating habits, emotional & physical needs are monitored and tended to all throughout the day by the animal caregivers. Dogs sleep freely or in crates, depending on their current lifestyle and displayed behavior.

During sleeping hours, staff reside on the property. Also, the house has a smoke detector, which is hard wired to the fire department.

In-home Boarding is available for special needs dogs, or the truly spoiled. The dog stays in the house adjacent to Happy Dog Resort with the animal care supervisor. In-Home Boarders may interact part or all of the day with the other dogs if you wish, and sleep In-Home at night. Special needs dogs who cannot be with other dogs are walked and played with by an animal caregiver for exercise.

It is recommended that dogs that are here for vacation arrive in the morning if possible, in order to allow for proper playtime and socializing prior to bedtime. The dogs sleep better at night after a busy day and are more relaxed when sleeping alongside dogs they’ve been playing with all day.

We like to get to know each dog and want them to feel like this is their favorite place to be (other than home, of course). Before accepting a dog for daycare or boarding we recommend a trial day in daycare. This gives your dog a chance to learn the ropes, get to know our staff and the other dogs and then go home to decompress from a very busy day. We want to be sure your dog is suited to boarding in this type of environment.
