Meet Tripp! Your Future Best Friend!

Hi, I'm Tripp! I'm a sweet Beagle boy with a gentle heart and a playful side just waiting to shine.

I'm still settling into my foster home, and it takes me a little time to feel safe and comfortable with new people. I might be a bit timid at first, but with patience, kindness, and a little understanding, you'll start to see my personality blossom. Give me a few weeks to settle in, and you'll discover the special boy hiding beneath my shy exterior.

A few things you should know about me:

I'm a big fan of chewing on my favorite bones!

I'm a good passenger in the car and ready to ride along on life's adventures.

Meet Dottie!
Dottie may have had a rough start to life, but you’d never know it by meeting her! This sweet girl came to us from DACC with her five puppies, and despite what her past may have looked like, she’s full of love, personality, and fun. ❤️
Her torn-up ear may tell a little story about her past, but Dottie isn’t dwelling on it. She’s too busy enjoying life and making friends! She’s social, fun-loving, and gets along with kids, dogs, and cats. Basically, Dottie is ready to be everyone’s best friend!
Dottie is also working hard toward clearing her heartworm treatment, and she can’t wait for the day when she can put that chapter behind her and focus on her happily-ever-after.
Now all this girl needs is a family to call her own — one that will show her just how wonderful life can be when you’re truly loved.

At 8 years young, Marley is a sweet Yorkie/Pomeranian mix with a lovely disposition and a whole lot of love to give!
Marley adores her people and would be perfectly content being the center of their world. While she would be happy as an only dog, she is also accustomed to living with other dogs and would do well with canine companionship.
Marley is pee pad trained, but don't let that fool you! This little lady absolutely loves spending time outdoors. A secure, fenced yard is a must so she can safely enjoy one of her favorite pastimes.
Marley would be an ideal companion for a retiree or someone who enjoys a quieter lifestyle but still likes to get outside for a nice walk. She is the perfect combination of a loving companion and a little outdoor adventurer.

Marko was found wandering the streets by a group of children with a very large hernia. Thankfully, a rescue stepped in, had his hernia repaired and had him neutered. He is healing well and is now ready to find his forever home!

Courtesy Post for LuckyMeet Lucky, an male blue brindle boy estimated to be between 2 to 5 years old. Lucky has a sturdy, muscular build, a distinct brindle coat, striking amber eyes, and an expressive, handsome face.
​Neighbors reported seeing a car driving around 10 mph out of the condo suburbs strike a dog matching his description, but thankfully, he doesn't seem to have sustained any serious injuries. He is currently eating, drinking, and moving around comfortably in our backyard setup. Lucky has a naturally calm demeanor, loves cuddles and kisses, and is a genuinely sweet companion. He knows how to sit, responds positively to car rides, and enjoys walks, though he does pull on the leash since he hasn't had much leash training.
​He is friendly, non-aggressive, and submissive.

Meet Roman! ❤️
Roman | 3 years old | 115 lbs | Cane Corso
Meet Roman, a big handsome boy with an even bigger heart! ❤️ Born in December 2022, Roman is a 115-pound Cane Corso who absolutely LOVES his people.
Roman is definitely an attached-at-the-hip kind of dog. If his people are around, he wants to be right there with them. He loves being included and is happiest when he can hang out with his favorite humans.
He knows his sit and shake, and he is an absolute rockstar in the car.
Roman can be a little shy when meeting new people and needs some time to warm up. Give him about 30 minutes, though, and you may find this giant boy trying to climb right into your lap! ❤️ Once he knows you, he is incredibly affectionate and loves being close.
He is still working on a few things, too.

Zena is a wonderful young lady. She loves to lay on our couch or bed and receive cuddles and scratches. She's friendly with everyone we've met so far, including other dogs, people, and kids. She does, however, have a strong prey drive and needs some work on leash training. But she does love going for a walk! She also loves our yard and would really benefit from a well-fenced yard and/or an active owner. I bet she'd be a good running companion. The two times she was off leash and out of our yard (unintentionally), she ranged around, sniffing for interesting prey items, but then returned, ecstatic to see us and our backyard.

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee. Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite. Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

Meet Pippa – Your Tiny Best Friend!
At just 5 lbs, Pippa is a tiny nugget with a big personality! This sweet little girl was surrendered from a less than ideal situation, but she's quickly learning that love, safety, and cozy naps are what life is all about.
Pippa has settled into a routine like a champ and is discovering that being part of a family is pretty wonderful. While she's still building confidence, she's an independent, playful little lady who loves doing things at her own pace.
She gets along beautifully with other dogs and has been wonderful with children. Pippa is crate trained and absolutely loves her crate—it's her safe, happy place where she can relax and recharge.
She's making great progress with potty training and learning good manners every day.
