About Us

At Happy Hound, we are dedicated to giving all of our dogs the quality care that promotes health, happiness, and well-being. And that dedication has been 30 years in the making!

Suzanne Golter, Happy Hound’s owner and president, has been raising dogs, horses, cows, goats and other animals for over three decades. It is her great love of dogs that makes Happy Hound the ultimate play adventure and nurturing environment for your canine companion.

With years of hands-on experience managing and training dogs at Happy Hound, Suzanne has passed on her expertise to every member of our canine care team. Her deep understanding of dog behavior, pack dynamics, and canine body language is the foundation of everything we do. The result? Care you can feel, from people you can trust. Our team is made up of true dog lovers with the skills and heart to back it up. We treat every dog like family—because to us, they are.
Our Facility

Dedicated to Dogs
Committed to You

At the heart of everything we do is a deep love and respect for dogs. We are dedicated to providing a safe, enriching, and joyful environment where every dog feels seen, supported, and celebrated. From playful puppies to wise seniors, we tailor our care to meet each dog’s individual needs—physically, emotionally, and socially.

With expert training, compassionate handling, and a focus on well-being, we aim to build lasting trust with both dogs and their humans. Because to us, every tail wag, happy bark, and quiet cuddle is a sign that we’re doing our job right.
