The place
Happy Paws sits on about 10 acres of farmland on Midway Road, between Sacramento and the Bay Area, with delta breezes and fresh country air. A second kennel building opened in October 2022, bringing the kennel to 100 indoor/outdoor runs, turf play yards with a shade sail and pools for hot days, and a cattery with four-level cat towers.
Come and see it first. Tours run every day, 9:00 to 11:00 AM and 2:00 to 4:00 PM, no appointment needed.




Love this place! So happy I found it for my nervous pup. They are patient and caring and he comes home well cared for!
Top quality care. Our dogs have been going there for years. They have a great exercise area and even send you pics of your dogs out playing.
Excellent, conscientious care. My dogs always get plenty of exercise. They come home tired but grinning happy doggy grins and wagging their tails.
