Michelle Richards established
Happy Hounds
in June 2004. After working in the corporate world for 12 years, she decided to pursue her passion for dogs. She toured many doggie daycare facilities and met with other daycare owners to develop what she believed to be the “best of the best” before opening Happy Hounds.
