Happy Hounds

11/01/2024

It’s our last day feels AND BOY, goodbyes are tough. We have loved being able to care for your dogs for the last years. It has been an honor to be trusted with your furry family members, to play and get dirty and be loud and to nap in the sun.

But Happy Hounds has always really been about the people. The true honor has been to work alongside these people who are good and kind and thoughtful and capable and so, so smart. I have been humbled and surprised every day at this place. I have learned so much from these friends, and they have shown over and over again all that they are capable of!

Stay in touch, thank you for being a part of something truly special.
We’ll see you around!

We are deeply thankful and grateful to all of our customers and supporters who have trusted us to care for your beloved dogs these past four years.

The last day of business for Happy Hounds will be November 1, 2024. The board of directors of The Alex and Ali Foundation have restructured our business model to have one entity on the south side of Indianapolis for the long term sustainability of the Foundation.

We are so thankful for our loyal staff, volunteers, team members, and customers that have been on this wonderful journey with us.

Any outstanding punch card balances will be transferred into gift cards redeemable at the Hope Gallery.

Again, we appreciate your support immensely. 💙

Thank you to everyone who donated towards relief for Helene’s victims. We know that natural disasters like Helene often leave those with disabilities behind, less able to evacuate quickly or find transportation to safety.

Mutual aid is a powerful model and tool that allows for community exchanges of resources without the expectation of being paid back. It gets us to work together to create care and support for our community’s needs.

These items will get dropped off this weekend to travel to where they’re needed — thank you all for the part you played!

It’s a great day-ne for kisses from a big guy! We have a new extra extra large fellow spending the day at Happy Hounds; his name is Rollo (like the Viking, not the candy).

Stay tuned for info coming soon about a Happy Hounds costume contest!

Lauren brought her own supplies to add to the donation box! We are collecting supplies to send with for those affected by Hurricane Helene. Bring in donations by this Friday and we’ll send them in their way!

Hi all!

Happy Hounds will be collecting donation items and supplies to send off to South Carolina through a mutual aid organization. We’ll be collecting donations until Friday Oct 11 — if you have anything to donate, we have a box by our front desk!

Please look over this supply list and see if you may have any of these items you’d be willing to part with!

(also puppy photo to boost for visibility 🙂 Maverick and Karl are pro-mutual aid)

The squirrels have been BOLD lately, so most of our dogs have taken up shifts doing squirrel security. It’s a thankless job but we have some pretty qualified volunteers.

Have the dogs caught any squirrels? No. But has the squirrel population reached an agreement of respect? Also no.

If you haven’t noticed, we’ve been missing a few key team members this week. Katelyn S, Aidan, and Katelyn G have all spent this week attending a leadership training through ! We are SO proud of the leaders these folks already are at Happy Hounds and their own communities; we can’t wait to watch them keep growing with all they’ve learned. We are so lucky to have these good good people in our little canine community!
