Get your Happy Dog here!

Since 2003 we've been matching loving and loyal Happy Dogs with wonderful Forever Families in the Northeast.

At Happy Dog Rescue all our dogs are living in foster homes where they can be loved and nurtured and evaluated for temperament and suitability for living with kids, cats and other dogs.

Potential adopters will learn all about their dog in a phone interview with the foster mom.  Our emphasis is on matching the right dog to the right family so that all will have many happy years together.

South to North

Happy Dogs remain in Southern foster homes until they are adopted by their Forever Families in the Northeast.

Completely Vetted

Happy Dogs are altered, vaccinated, treated for any intestinal parasites, tested for heartworms, placed on flea/ heartworm prevention.

 

Transport

Happy Dogs travel every week from the South to the Northeast aboard USDA-certified professional transport carriers.
