Winter rest, spring energy, summer adventures, and autumn reflections.

Every time your dog flops belly-up for a rub, steals your socks, or gazes at you like you hung the moon, it’s hard to imagine they descended from wolves. Yet here we are, sharing couches, leftovers, and deep emotional bonds with animals that were once feared as predators.

Spring in Muskoka doesn’t tiptoe in. It bursts, melts, and gushes. The snow and ice starts melting, leaving trails of muck and light in its wake. Perennials and trees wake up. Streams swell. Birds return with their usual commentary. And under it all, something quiet and essential begins to stir, not just in the forest, but in our dogs too.

As the snow melts and the first signs of spring begin to bloom here in Muskoka, we’ve been feeling especially grateful for the incredible community that surrounds Happy Tails.

At Happy Tails, we’ve witnessed countless transformations over the years. But one that stands out is a golden retriever who came to us as a last resort.

At Happy Tails, we’ve spent decades creating an experience that offers something no pet sitter or traditional kennel can match. We don’t just provide a place for dogs to stay - we provide a cage-free, off-leash, joy-filled adventure where they can be dogs, the way they were meant to be.

Somewhere in the modern dog owner’s handbook, there is an unwritten but widely accepted dogma ;)

We’d love to welcome you and your dog to Happy Tails Pet Resort in beautiful Muskoka.
