Caring, Experienced Management
Owner and Manager Suzanne Golter is very excited about bringing her experience to Happy Hound Play & Daycare. With over 30 years raising dogs, horses, cows, goats and other animals, her animal knowledge and great love of dogs is what makes this the ultimate play adventure for your canine companion.
Augmenting her animal background, Ms. Golter has taken Dog Assessment classes, enabling her to assess dogs’ health and temperament upon the initial interview. She has completed numerous dog behavior and training classes where she has studied under Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D. Certified Animal Behaviorist: (Phobic Pooches, Animal Behavior, Dominance in Dogs, Making the Kennel More Like a Home Away From Home). Through these classes and studies she has a gained a great understanding of dog behavior, pack behavior and dog body language. She is also trained in pet CPR and first aid.

Stephanie has been with Happy Hound since October 2005. She loves animals
and has two cats, Comet & Chicken, as well as a dog named Stinky. Stinky
has a blast coming to work everyday with Steph. You might even find Stinky
helping Steph out in the Boarding Department. Really.
Carina loves her job here at Happy Hound, which began March 5, 2007. She loves interacting with the dogs all day by giving them the love and attention they deserve. That very objective is her passion which is why she wants to become an Animal Control Officer someday.

hanging out with her Mastiff mix Bruce, who you can spot here and on her

In addition to assessing new dogs, Sarah also enjoys co-managing the AM crew
and greeting our clients as they come in the front door. She also enjoys
long walks on the beach and a good Manhattan.

Maggie Cassell
Office Assistant |
After a couple months as a Dog Handler, I moved into the Office Manager position. You've probably talked to me on the phone even! When I am not answering phones and doing other office type stuff, I can be found giving kisses to dogs through their respective Hound Town's. Outside of work I hang out with my own three dogs: Macy, Buddy, and Loki. I also have a cat, but he would rather plot to take over the world than play fetch. Oh, and have you heard of the band the French 77s? You should check em out! |
