About Happy Ny!

Happy Ny! is a 10-week-old male Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix who landed at a county shelter as the last remaining pup from his litter. Southern rescue volunteers stepped in so he wouldn't face the chill alone, and now he's thriving in a foster home. Happy is right on pace for his age, making solid progress with both potty and crate training. He’s quick to warm up to friendly faces and adores playtime, both with people and with other dogs. His foster family notes Happy lights up when outside, running and romping, happiest with an active crew that likes being engaged. With his short black-and-white coat and social streak, he fits right in for a family with kids, dogs, or even cats. He’s still young and soaking up good habits, so he’ll need adopters who can keep him moving, offer gentle guidance, and give plenty of play. Happy's ready for a household that offers time, engagement, and room to play. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
