5 Star Dog boarding kennel in Dawsonville Georgia
Welcome to happy dog retreat!
Happy Dog Retreat is a dog's paradise and a home-away-from-home for your beloved companions.
- Definition [happy dog] Personable one-on-one attention, plenty of play time, delicious food and water, clean and healthy accommodations.
- Definition [retreat] A quiet or secluded place in which one can rest, relax and rejuvenate.
- Definition [Laura's Passion] My lifelong passion for animals developed into a fulltime career nearly 13 years ago. I had no idea how rewarding this career would be. I understand what a huge responsibility it is to have your family’s pet in my care and how important it is to meet your family’s needs, as well as your furry family member’s needs. This is why I try to bond with your pet individually due to their unique personalities, sensitivities and special needs. Your pet should know that they have my undivided attention, even with so many other pets present. I want you and your family to be just as excited to bring your pets, as your pets are about coming. I could not be more thankful for the opportunity to be a part of your family’s lives and to be the caretaker of such special members of your family. I am very excited about the future and I want you to be just as excited as I am about Happy Dog Retreat.
