A local dog kennel already operating on Elliott Family Parkway is seeking to expand its facilities. The Dawson County Planning Commission recommended approval for Happy Dog Retreat’s special use permit with stipulations for indoor air conditioning and soundproofing. Now, the proposal heads to the Board of Commissioners to be heard during the Aug. 18 voting session, which will immediately follow the 4 p.m. work session in the board’s second-floor assembly room at the Dawson County Government Center.
