A lifelong passion
Happy Hound began as a small, heartfelt dream rooted in Suzanne Golter’s lifelong love of animals. What started with dogs, horses, cows, and goats has grown into a trusted, joyful space for dogs to play, learn, and be loved—just like family. Our small business spirit is in everything we do: hands-on care, personal connections, and a deep commitment to every happy hound who walks through our doors.
