Areas Happy Tails Dog Rescue. Inc. serves
We currently serve all of Long Island, NYC and other communities nearby. We prefer not to have out of state adoptions as we don't want to be too far in case the dog(s) need to come back.
We do not respond to many messages from Adopt-a-Pet on the weekends as we run adoption events those 2 days. Saturdays and Sundays.

About Happy Tails Dog Rescue. Inc.
We are a small foster-based, 100% volunteer, animal rescue based on Long Island in NY. We do not have a facility, so all of our animals live in foster homes, with other pets, kids, etc. We save animals from high kill shelters and help local outreach groups who save animals from hoarding or abandonment cases. We also pull street dogs (Satos) from Puerto Rico, abused dogs from Macedonia, and desperate dogs from South Korea. All of our volunteers actively seek new, loving homes for these animals.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
