About Happy

Happy is a remarkable little guy looking for his forever home. He faced significant challenges when he was found with a bad leg injury and had tested positive for heartworm. After receiving the right treatment, he's now a healthy five-year-old who’s ready for a fresh start. This adorable Spaniel-Pom mix has long, silky fur and a gentle soul. Although he may take a bit of time to adjust, once he trusts you, he’ll love to curl up next to you. Happy thrives in the company of another dog, as having a canine buddy helps boost his confidence. While he's more laid-back and enjoys relaxing in his favorite spot, he's working on his leash skills and would prefer a quiet environment to continue gaining comfort in new situations. Happy has been altered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Now, he’s just waiting for someone special to help him write his happy ending. Could you be the one to give Happy the life he dreams of?
