About Happy

Meet Happy! This cheerful young dog lives up to his name. At around 6 to 8 months old, he weighs about 40 pounds and resembles an English Pointer mix. With a short coat and an enthusiastic personality, he’s ready to fill a loving home with joy and laughter. Happy thrives on affection and is always eager for belly rubs. He enjoys running, playing fetch, and has a particular fondness for grade-school-aged children, often racing around and joining in their play. Friendly toward other dogs, he invites them to join in fun but knows how to give space when needed. He even tries to engage with cats, respecting their boundaries when they’re not interested. Happy is a high-energy pup who will benefit from further training. Although he’s been on a leash for vet visits, he would love a securely fenced yard where he can run freely. A family who enjoys outdoor activities will help him grow and develop his skills. He understands basic commands like sit and shake and lights up for treats! This playful boy deserves a forever home that will embrace him as part of the family. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a wonderful spirit, Happy might just be the one for you. He’s currently in Houston, TX, and can be transported to most states for an additional fee. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
