ABOUT US
Thank you for your interest in Happy Paws Pet Camp.
We are a unique facility in that we do not cage our campers, either day or night. We operate on the "submit to the pack" philosophy where the 2 legged people are the pack leaders, and the 4 legged ones are the pack!
Dogs are born and raised in packs, not cages!
Happy Paws is a camp. We organize activities that will mentally stimulate, as well as, exercise our campers, regardless of the weather. Our trained and experienced staff help even the youngest pups learn the art of socialization. We help everyone assimilate into the pack, within the group that is most in line with the dog's size and temperament. In other words - you don't need ear plugs to tour our facility. Our campers are happy, not stressed!

Camp Hours Are: Monday through Friday 7AM to 7PM Saturday 8AM to 6PM We offer Daycare and Boarding (for active daycare members only) We offer a very active daycare program. Our staff does not just "baby sit" your dog. In the summer we have pools and water sports. We do group play with tennis balls & squeaky toys. We host Valentines Dances and Easter Bone Hunts for our campers, as well as visits from Santa Paws! Let's not forget the Halloween Costume Contests. Reservations are required for daycare. We offer full and half days of Daycare. Half days are up to 5 hours, and full days are anything over 5 hours. We allow late pickups as late as 9 PM Monday through Friday and 9 PM on Saturday and Sunday. To attend daycare, your dog must have passed our temperament test and be current on all shots. For more detailed information regarding daycare - click here! Due to the nature of our socialized boarding, we only board our current day camp members. At night, we place cots & beds out with clean blankets for the dogs to sleep on. Some choose to sleep with a friend - some want the bed all to themselves. You can bring your dogs' own bed; however, we don't guarantee your dog will be using it. We have a night staff member in every room that we have dogs sleeping. No dog is ever left alone! We allow Sunday drop off and pickups at no additional cost. Our boarding rates are based on a 24 hour period. If you drop off at 2 PM, you have until 2 PM to pick up on your scheduled pickup date. To board with us, your dog MUST be a current daycare member with us and be current on all shots. For more detailed information regarding boarding - click here! All new campers must pass a temperament test before they can come for daycare, as not all dogs are candidates for an open society. The commitment of the parent is also an important factor to acceptance of a new candidate. CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS (To be added to the call list - click here!) Temperament Tests are by appointment only, and are given on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday between 10 AM and 2 PM. To perform the test, we must have a written copy of your up-to-date shot records, including Bordetella (which is also known as Kennel Cough), Rabies and Distemper / Parvo. Shot records must show date given, not when next shot is due. For a complete vaccination list, please click here. The cost of the test is $35.00, and must be paid in advance of the test. If you cancel at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment, the money will be refunded to you. If your dog passes there is a one-time camp membership fee of $50.00 per dog. All new dogs must complete their daycare evaluation period of 5 days before they are allowed to board with us. Dogs who are tested one day may NOT board the next day. We do not test for those who are looking for boarding only. To find out what a temperament test is Click Here! We are always ready to hear from you!
