It closes at 3:00 PM on Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Most other holidays, such as Veterans Day or Presidents' Day, follow the regular hours of 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM. ## Closed all day | Holiday | 2026-27 date | | --- | --- | | Thanksgiving Day | Nov 26, 2026 | | Christmas Day | Dec 25, 2026 | | New Year's Day | Jan 1, 2027 | | Easter | Mar 28, 2027 | | Memorial Day | May 31, 2027 | | Independence Day | July 4, 2027 | | Labor Day | Sept 6, 2027 | ## Closing at 3:00 PM Thanksgiving Eve (November 25, 2026), Christmas Eve (December 24, 2026) and New Year's Eve (December 31, 2026) close at 3:00 PM. The afternoon window is 1:00 to 3:00 instead of 2:00 to 5:00. ## Staying over a closed day What changes on a holiday is drop-off and pick-up. If your trip spans a closed day, schedule your drop-off and pick-up for the open days around it. ## Deposits near holidays The seven closed holidays are also the dates the deposit rule revolves around. A stay beginning from seven days before through seven days after one of them carries a 50% non-refundable deposit 30 days ahead. Please call to confirm for your dates. ## Planning a holiday trip Because pick-up is closed on seven days, the usual advice is to choose the open day on either side. A Thursday Thanksgiving, for example, means drop-off by 3:00 PM on Wednesday and pick-up on Friday. Call 707-678-6600 if your travel falls awkwardly, and ask about each date you are weighing. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels hours page](https://happypawskennels.com/hours/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### Visit or call 6677 Midway Road, Dixon, CA 95620 [707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) | Drop-off and pick-up, every day | 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM | | --- | --- | | Tours, every day (no appointment) | 9:00 to 11:00 AM and 2:00 to 4:00 PM | [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin) ### Related - [Hours and holiday closures](https://happypawskennels.com/hours/) - [Holiday boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/holiday-boarding/) - [When is a holiday deposit due?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/when-is-a-holiday-deposit-due/) - [Holiday deposit windows 2026-2027](https://happypawskennels.com/data/holiday-deposit-calendar-2026-2027/) - [Holiday deposits and cancellations](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/holiday-deposits/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [When is a holiday deposit due?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/when-is-a-holiday-deposit-due/) - [Is the holiday deposit refundable?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/is-the-holiday-deposit-refundable/) - [What payment methods do you take?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-payment-methods-do-you-take/) - [Do I pay when I drop off or pick up?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-pay-when-i-drop-off-or-pick-up/) - [Do you charge extra to give medication?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-extra-to-give-medication/) - [Do you charge extra if I bring my own food?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-extra-if-i-bring-my-own-food/) - [What food do you feed?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-food-do-you-feed/) - [Can my dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-dogs-share-a-kennel/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
