That is more than half a century of boarding near Dixon, and the history is part of why the kennel is a familiar name in Solano County.
1971
The original building went up in 1971 on country land near Dixon, and it remains in use as Economy class. Pets have been cared for on the site ever since. Many local families have used the kennel for years, and guests have come from as far away as Texas.
2008
The current name, Happy Paws Kennels, began in 2008.
2022
Ground was broken on a second building on September 24, 2020, and it opened October 5, 2022, doubling the room for guests and adding a cattery and a lobby. Between those dates the property grew from a single original building into a T-shaped layout with a front building and a kennel building, still on about ten acres between Sacramento and the Bay Area.
