Drop-off is every day from 7:30 to 11:30 AM and from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. The office closes from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM, and a handful of holidays change the schedule. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The same two windows apply to drop-off and pick-up, seven days a week, which makes weekend trips simple to plan. ## The two windows Check-out is by 11:30 AM, so a morning pick-up ends on a full night. | Window | Hours | | --- | --- | | Morning | 7:30 to 11:30 AM | | Afternoon | 2:00 to 5:00 PM | | Closed | 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and after 5:00 PM | ## Holiday changes The kennel is closed all day on New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. On Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve it closes at 3:00 PM, and the afternoon window is 1:00 to 3:00. ## What check-in looks like Leave your pet in the car when you arrive. A staff member comes out, carries belongings in and walks your pet to the kennel. This avoids scuffles in the parking area. Hot pavement is the other reason: in summer staff may scoop a small pet up and hurry across. Leave the air conditioning running in warm weather. ## Arriving at the right time The first drop-off takes longer if the boarding agreement and records are not complete, so allow extra time or finish them online first. The landmark for finding the kennel on Midway Road is a large white wind turbine nearby. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels hours page](https://happypawskennels.com/hours/) - [Happy Paws Kennels things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) ### 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/) - [What time is check-out?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-time-is-check-out/) - [Drop-off and pick-up](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/drop-off-and-pick-up/) - [Are you open on holidays?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/are-you-open-on-holidays/) - [How do I find you?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-do-i-find-you-the-wind-turbine/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [What time is check-out?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-time-is-check-out/) - [What happens if I pick up in the afternoon?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-happens-if-i-pick-up-in-the-afternoon/) - [Are you open on holidays?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/are-you-open-on-holidays/) - [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/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
