Welcome to Happy Hounds Pet Services

We’ve spent our entire lives surrounded by dogs, and caring for them has always been a central part of who we are. Will began training dogs for Assistant Dogs of America at a young age and has successfully fostered, trained, and placed several dogs through the program. Every dog we’ve personally owned has been adopted, giving us hands‑on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and needs.

​

Recently, we said goodbye to our beloved 12‑year‑old Great “DoberDane” and our 16‑year‑old Mini Bull Terrier, both of whom passed from natural causes. Their loss has been incredibly difficult, and as we take time to heal, we’ve decided to begin accepting new clients again. Providing care for other dogs feels like a meaningful way to move forward while honoring the love we shared with ours.

​

🏡 Our Home & Environment

We live in a one‑story single‑family home with a fully fenced, escape‑proof yard—tested thoroughly by our clever Mini Bull Terrier. With only two steps at the front door and one at the back, our home is ideal for senior dogs or pups with mobility challenges.

​

Because we both work from home, we’re able to keep a close eye on the dogs in our care. Our home office overlooks the backyard, and our large pet door allows dogs to move freely between indoors and outdoors. We’re located near downtown Littleton and regularly visit the nearby parks for walks, enrichment, and fresh air.

​

Our goal is always to create a fun, low‑stress, and happy environment. Walks, dog‑park visits (when appropriate), and daily mental stimulation are part of our routine.

​

❤️ Specialized Care & Experience

We have extensive experience with:

• Senior dogs

• Mobility challenges and tripods

• Medication schedules

• Diabetes management (injections and glucose testing)

• Heart‑related conditions

• Behavioral challenges, including dog aggression

• Special diets and individualized care plans

Our Great Dane lived with diabetes, and our Mini Bull Terrier had a chronic heart condition, so administering injections, medications, and managing special diets are second nature to us.

​

🌟 Our Philosophy

We’re not interested in boarding as many dogs as possible. Instead, we focus on quality over quantity, offering personalized, attentive care to a small group of repeat clients. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find a trustworthy, calm, and supportive environment—especially for senior dogs or those with special needs.

​

Our mission is to provide the kind of care we always wanted for our own dogs: compassionate, consistent, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. We value long‑term relationships and love becoming an extended part of a dog’s family.
