Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue

HDDCR is an all-volunteer, 501c3 registered non-profit rescue that rescues dogs and cats in need throughout Michigan and beyond its borders, to Ohio and other states depending on the need. We pull from rural shelters where adoptions are few and kill rates are high. We focus on 'urgent' lists and those dogs and cats that are overlooked because they are unattractive, older or sick. We believe that every animal should have a second chance at a loving home; even if that loving home is in a hospice situation. We exist and rely solely on the generosity of our donors and our hardworking volunteers.

Your donation helps us provide the animals in our care happier days!

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process requires a completed Adoption Application, vet check, and home visit prior to adoption. If an adoption occurs there is an Adoption Contract the adopter will need to sign. If the animals is not fixed at the time of adoption, the Contract will contain a Spay/Neuter Agreement which details when the animal must be sterilized. A refundable spay/neuter deposit is also required at the time of adoption. We do not adopt our animals out on a first-come-first-served basis or do on-site adoptions. We strive to place our animals in an adoptive home that will best meet the animal's needs.
Before the animal is released to the adopter, adopter must provide a collar tag with the adopter's contact information on it. This is required in case the newly adopted animal should get loose.
The adopted animal's microchip is transferred to the adopter after the Adoption Contract has been processed.
