I LOVE Just Happy Hounds. First, the facilty is spotless. And their stellar staff truly love these animals. It's genuine. I do quite a bit a rescue, and sweet Sarah Mills, Katelyn and the rest of this amazing staff have boarded several rescues. Teaching these dogs basic manners training and socialization. This work helps ensure they will have a successful adoption later! Just Happy Hounds not only provides excellent care for your personal dog, they do extensive community outreach, and have saved countless dogs. I can't say enough good about them!!!
We take our dog rascal here for grooming and daycare regularly. He’s always so happy and excited to go, and comes home tired out at the end of the day, which is quite a feat for a jack russell. The groomer always does a great job with him, and he looks (and more importantly smells) like a million bucks after. I’ve recommended JHH to all of my friends.
My dog began daycare at JHH at approximately 6 months old and attended at least 2-3 times per week. I always thought she enjoyed it as she seemed excited to pull up and be dropped off. At around a year old, I started noticing a lot of staff turnover at the facility. Although I should have taken heed, I did not and my dog continued to attend day care regularly. I began noticing that my dog was very timid of the staff. In particular, she was called by one of the managers/trainers and immediately backed up, tail between her legs, and laid down in a submissive position behind me. This time I took note and my dog never returned to the facility. I still have pre-paid day care days that will go unused. When I inquired about my dog’s reaction, it was explained to me by staff that my dog was regularly kept separate in a kennel in the back during the day. AND, that her “training” involved being taken into the yard, on a leash, while other dogs were allowed to approach her and she was given commands to obey. THIS RUINED MY DOG. She has dog aggression issues to this day, largely due to her extreme anxiety which I believe was engrained into her at a developmental stage while at JHH. Please do not take your dog to this facility for daycare. Also, please note that most of the favorable reviews were posted at least a year ago. While the more recent reviews question the dogs well-being at the facility.
Just Happy Hounds needs to be your first and last look at daycare for your best friend. I moved to Birmingham a few months ago and did not know a soul. I came for graduate school with my best friend (Oliver) and the center of my world. I shopped around for daycares like my peers do for their human children. I chose Just Happy Hounds because the staff was friendly and I loved how my dog was always playing. He does not spend hours alone in a kennel like he would at home. They have far exceeded my expectation for customer service and outright exceptional care for my puppy. Oliver had a scratched cornea from playing a little hard and required surgery. I was stressed about what to do. I thought I could not take him to daycare while he recovered for surgery. He required extensive medications and needed to watched more closely in the cone of shame. The JHH team took care of Oliver post-op just as well as I would have at home. I never have to worry about my best friend while I am at work/class all day. I know he is being loved and played with as he is at home. I could not be more thankful for such incredible care of Oliver during his time of extra need. As a nurse, I am always caring for everyone else. I have been incredibly thankful to have someone help me out and give me peace of mind. Never bring your baby somewhere else! Sarah and her team are incredible. JHH is the best home away from home you can bring you furry friend to.
