Happy Tails Kennel
Boarding&Daycare
SINCE 1991
About Us
Happy Tails was founded in 1991 by Diann Burchak, a Cal Poly Animal Science/Pre-Vet graduate. In those days kennels were dark and dreary places. Dogs were rarely let out of their enclosures to potty and group play was simply unheard of. Cats were kept in small cages and rarely received any special attention or exercise.
Thirty years later this type of kennel, thankfully, no longer exists and "pet resorts" have gone to the extreme end of luxury. At Happy Tails, we simply started with what makes dogs and cats happy and that is still our number one goal today.
An amazing staff of 15 has plenty of time and space to facilitate just what dogs love: playing, eating, and napping! They also strive to make cats comfortable, giving special attention where needed and giving each cat time to exercise and explore. It has always been about our love for dogs and cats at Happy Tails Kennel and still is!
