The Happy Dog Inn was designed specifically for this use. The home is attached to the 1600 SF dog room which contains the 14 indoor/outdoor suites. Each suite is 5′ x 8′ indoor which leads to the 5′ x 16′ individual covered patio accessed through a dog door. All suites are tiled and have a window and separate ventilation. The patios are available for use all day and closed at night. A high pressure wash system is built in to make cleaning and sanitizing easy. The dog room has a couch, chairs, kitchen and TV’s to duplicate the home environment and reduce stress levels. Outside, 2 acres have been divided into 6 exercise yards for the two, 2 hour playgroups. The yards are surrounded and divided by 8′ high block walls, nothing gets in or out. Two of the yards have real grass and the other 4 are sand. Most boarding facilities hold anywhere from 200-300 dogs whereas we limit to 30. Playgroups are divided according to personality not size. There are tough smaller dogs who can run with the big dogs and meeker large dogs who are better off with the little ones. We also cater dogs with special needs, whether that is physical disabilities or behavioral issues. One of us is onsite 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
