HAPPY HOUND RESCUE'S PROGRAM

TO SAVE SENIOR DOGS!

Happy Hound Rescue is a Minnesota based Dog Sanctuary providing senior animals happy foster care and end of life dignified and loving hospice care because every dog deserves a great life! Since 2007 Happy Hound Rescue has been a no-kill rescue organization saving and re-homing thousands of dogs (and a few cats too!). In 2018, we have evolved into a new type of rescue, providing a sanctuary for end of life care and foster care for senior dogs who have lost their human or are no longer adoptable due to age or health. These dogs need a lot of love and time and nurturing. Senior dogs are too often left behind – they are considered “un-adoptable” due to age and health-related conditions... but we’re changing that!

We help adoptable senior dogs and find new homes, often with senior people. We believe that there is a senior dog for every home and a home for every senior dog, and it is our job to match them up. We believe we are saving two lives. We have two permanent homes for those senior dogs that we are not able to adopt out. It is a quiet and loving sanctuary and hospice where they will live out their lives in comfort and with the love and care they deserve. Our sanctuary is designed to breathe new quality and love into the remaining life of senior dogs who would otherwise be euthanized.

We provide hospice care for all our adopted dogs if their families can’t keep them, as we our promised they will always be Happy Hounds. And if you have a Happy Hound adopted dog, either senior dog or any dog you cannot keep for any reason, please contact Happy Hounds Rescue immediately at happyhoundrescue@comcast.net.

We are a 501(c)3, Minnesota Non-Profit Organization. Consider donating today to help with some significant expenses needed to care for these special needs fosters including the special food required for fragile dogs, high veterinary costs, medicines (more than half our sanctuary dogs are on medicine) and potty pads. We currently care for and house senior dogs who have lost all other options. We operate 100% on donations. All donations are tax deductible. Our website is

Please email us at happyhoundrescue@comcast.net if you would like to volunteer or donate.
