Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Mocha is a joyful, playful pup who absolutely adores people and other dogs. Her favorite activities include tug-of-war, chasing her doggy friends while they fetch the ball, and splashing around in any water she can find — even her water bowl in her crate! She’s crate trained and quiet when resting, and she’s fully potty trained, able to hold overnight for up to 10 hours. Mocha thrives outdoors, especially when she gets to swim — she’s a true water lover! Still growing and learning, Mocha knows basic commands and would benefit from continued training to help her shine even brighter. She’s looking for an active family who can keep up with her energy and enthusiasm, and she’d be thrilled to have some fur siblings to play with. If you’re ready for a fun-loving, water-obsessed companion who will bring endless joy to your home, Mocha might just be your perfect match! Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

Story
🎄 Meet Boq (Monkey) — Hoping for a Home by Christmas! 🎁 Monkey is a 2-year-old, 10-pound sweet, medium-energy velcro pup dreaming of a patient, loving family this holiday season. He bonds deeply, loves to cuddle, and may get a bit protective of his person — he just wants someone to feel safe with. 🐾 What Makes Monkey Merry & Bright: • Potty trained • Great with dogs (best buddies with a 40 lb female) • Rides well in the car • Okay in a crate • Loves walks, sniffing, window-watching, and hanging in the yard • Lets you wipe his paws • Starting to enjoy toys • Not destructive (supervised with free roam) • Current on vaccinations 🎅 His “No-Thank-You” List: • No cats — big prey drive • Squirrels = sworn enemies • Scared of loud noises (vacuum, electric toothbrush) • Nervous with new people — men and women; may growl/hide around visitors 👶 Kids: Unknown — he hasn’t been around children. ✂️ Neutering: Needs to be neutered, but the rescue will cover it if using one of our partner vets. ✨ Christmas Wish: A patient adopter who can show him the world isn’t so scary. With time, love, and gentle reassurance, Monkey will be the most loyal companion by your side. 👉 Apply to meet Boq: https://www.underdogrescueranch.com/adopt

Story
Age: 9 Years Weight: 32lbs Good with dogs? Yes Good with cats? No Good with kids? Yes Energy Level: High Adoption Fee: $200.00 Any other info: Meet Lady: A Senior with Spunk Lady is a stunning tri colored Manchester Terrier who proves age is just a number! At 9 years old, she’s still full of pep in her step and has plenty of love (and laughs) to give. Lady’s journey hasn’t been easy. Her devoted mom recently passed away, and she found herself back at the shelter. While she’s adjusting, it’s clear that what she really needs is a new family to call her own. About Lady: • Age: 9 years young • Personality: Friendly, submissive, and delightfully spunky • Skills: Housebroken, sits for treats (though she might bark to remind you she’s waiting!) • Party Trick: She’ll snatch tossed treats right out of the air with lightning speed • Good With: Kids and dogs • Not a Fan Of: Cats • Special Notes: Can climb fences, so a secure yard or leash walks are best; may have some separation anxiety because she loves her people deeply Why She’s Special: Lady is the kind of dog who will make you smile every single day. She’s playful, affectionate, and loyal to the core. Being in the shelter is tough on her, but she’s ready to bust out and show a new family just how wonderful life with her can be. Lady is spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and kept on prevention here with us. Lady has already lost so much, but she hasn’t lost her sparkle. She’s hoping her fun party trick and her big, loving heart will win over a family soon. Could that be you? If you have the perfect home for Lady, don't make her wait any longer. Apply today through the link below. https://form.jotform.com/201977724595065 Once your application is processed and approved, our adoptions team will reach out to schedule an in person meet and greet with Lady. ------------------------------------------------ Our adoption fees includes the pets spay or neuter surgery, microchip, age appropriate vaccines, heartworm + flea + tick disease testing, fecal check, and any medical care needed while staying with us.
