The Highway 16 and I-505 route
Madison sits on Highway 16, only 1.0 mile of which is on your route before you join Interstate 505 for 17.6 miles. The rest is Midway Road. Estimated drive time is 38 minutes without traffic.
Compared with Esparto, 44 minutes, you save about six minutes; compared with Winters, 29 minutes, you add about nine. If you are coming with a friend from Winters, you can meet near the kennel.
A very small town
The Census counts about 800 people in about 235 households in Madison, nearly all owning their home, all in single-family houses, with a median home value of about $344,000. About 21 percent of households have children. National AVMA shares suggest about 110 dog households and 80 cat households, an estimate with a wide margin because the population is so small.
In a town like this, one trip carries a lot of weight. A phone call on 707-678-6600 before you leave will confirm the windows, the vaccine records and any questions.
What to expect on arrival
Leave your pet in the car at check-in. Staff carry belongings and walk your pet in, and on hot pavement they may scoop up a small dog and hurry. Bring one toy, not the favorite, and remove metal pinch (prong) collars.
The boarding agreement is signed once, even if you have an online account at ProPetware. Bookings are requests; the kennel confirms every reservation.
Small pets and cats
Rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs and birds can stay; please ask, and you may be asked to bring their cage. Cats stay in individual four-level towers with their own litter box and blanket. Read about the cattery.

This place is fantastic! I have one super easy going dog and one that is very much the opposite, she takes a long time to be comfortable with strangers and can be aggressive. I chose Happy Paws originally because the dogs can go in and out without having to be put on a leash. I am so happy I made that decision. Now my...
Clean and well organized, with a friendly, helpful staff. Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended.
