Happy Hounds

Happy Hounds is a dog boarding and daycare kennel on Otis Lee Rd in Petal, MS, keeping dogs overnight and taking daytime guests seven days a week. Rates run $20 to $35 per night, and reservations are handled by phone.

What a stay looks like

Kennels are indoor/outdoor, so a dog can move between a covered run and open air during the day. Staff walk each dog several times a day and add one-on-one playtime in the large outdoor playground. Photo and status updates go out during the stay, which helps when a dog is boarding for the first time.

Key services and amenities

• Overnight boarding, $20 to $35 per night
• Daycare for dogs whose owners work long days
• Indoor/outdoor kennels with a large outdoor playground
• Multiple daily walks and one-on-one play
• Grooming, including a bath before pick-up

Practical details

The kennel is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Saturday, with a shorter Sunday window from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Booking happens over the phone at 601-520-3446 rather than through an online form. Dogs must be current on their vaccinations before they board, so it is worth having records ready when calling.

Who it fits

Households with more than one dog get a multi-dog family discount. Long-term boarding rates are available for extended stays, which suits owners planning something longer than a weekend trip. Petal owners who like checking in on their dog will get photos along the way. Anyone comparing kennels can call and ask about a specific dog, including how the indoor/outdoor runs work for a nervous first-timer, before booking anything.
