About Happy

Meet Happy! With those stunning amber-orange eyes, she’s unforgettable. This friendly girl has been waiting for a family since December 2025 and is eager to leave kennel life behind. Happy dreams of walks, adventures, a cozy bed, and a loving family of her own. At around 60 pounds, she's been carrying some extra "kennel pounds," but with regular exercise and a home, she’s ready to get back in shape. Happy is friendly with other dogs, having shared her kennel with her buddy Dudley, and is excited to make new friends. We believe she’s a shepherd mix, a beautiful combination that perfectly matches her sweet personality. Happy is spayed, house trained, and is estimated to be about 3 years old. After her time in a kennel, she’s ready to be a loyal walking buddy and a loving couch companion. This girl is ready to live up to her name and find that happy ending she deserves.
