About Tia & Happy Pooch
About Tia
I opened Happy Pooch in 2010 to offer dog owners the opportunity to treat their best friends to the high quality of service and handling that I demand for my 5 best friends - Toad, Picea, Sorel, Zippi and Miramar. My aspiration from a young age has been to work with animals.
I have a connection to animals, I understand their behaviour and I feel compassion for their feelings. My family always included humans and dogs, and often an assortment of other animals that we rescued.
How Happy Pooch Started
Happy Pooch was founded in Yellowknife in 2010 and expanded to Happy Pooch Superior in Gorham in September 2024. We are proud to bring the same trusted care and commitment to safety, comfort and enrichment to every guest who stays with us. Our goal is to build positive, lasting relationships with both pets and their people through clear communication and genuine care.
