Story
This guys name is Diesel aka diesel pup! He’s a loving caring 3 year old (birthday Dec.14th) who has so much love & energy to give to anyone and everyone! We had a daughter who is now 19 months (he’s great with her is completely submissive to her & cares for her) however when we were pregnant with her he took turn & an even bigger turn when we brought her home from the hospital behaviorally. Well we got him all under control and back to his silly self. However we found out we were pregnant again in October and thought long & hard about rehoming him. We ended up doing it in Dec. however the lady who “adopted him” just recently dropped him on the street thankfully he’s chipped still to me so I got a call and got him back, however he was gone for over just a month and he was completely malnourished. He’s now skin and bones, we have him now but we unfortunately can’t keep him because of being pregnant and his needs now, we just want an actual loving/caring/HONEST family to adopt him!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Luna is a two-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing in at only 35 lb she is very friendly gets along well with other dogs kids and people. Luna is a very energetic little girl and would do well with someone who likes to go jogging every day or hiking or at least daily walks. Luna's puppies were adopted and now it's her turn to find her fur-ever home.     HDDCR requires a spay/neuter contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. We will hold a $50 deposit on top of the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog was spayed/neutered. The $50 deposit will then be returned to the adopter.&#226&#128&#139 Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption.
