We received our 501(c)3 status in September 2005. We do not have a physical facility that you can visit where the dogs on this website are "housed." Some of the dogs on this site are still in shelters. Others are in a rescue group. Some are courtesy posted for families who need to find another home for their pet. We love dogs! We work with and for dogs that need to find their forever homes. The sad reality is that there is not an available home for every dog. A large part of our group's mission is to promote spay/neuter and the adoption option. We must emphasize that spaying and neutering companion animals is critical to ending pet overpopulation. For every dog that finds a home, another one does not. Click here to view our most recent newsletter
	FAQ: What is Happy Paws Happy Homes? Answer: HPHH is a non-profit outreach group that assists dogs that are trying to find their forever homes and promotes spay/neuter and the adoption option to the public. These are some of the ways we help:     The Animals: Provide financial means to board dogs who are currently looking for forever homes and cannot be kept at the shelter any longer Provide transportation for animals from shelters to rescues, homes, adoption events, and veterinary visits. Provide sponsors for shelter animals to help defray some of the costs of housing and caring for the animal. The Shelters: Conduct adoption follow-up visits/calls. Provide supplies that are needed to enhance the care of shelter animals. Provide the manpower to begin and sustain initiatives that will enhance the lives of shelter animals, such as spay/neuter programs and the introduction of KONG toys to keep shelter dogs busy and happier. Maintain various forms of on-line adoption advertising for shelters and individuals who need help rehoming dogs. Conduct pre-adoption counseling and home visits to match families with the right dogs for their lifestyle. The Public Provide no-cost consulting services to adopters and potential adopters about animal care and behavior. Offer spay/neuter financial assistance for families with dogs. Crosspost dogs who need to be rehomed. Offer educational programs to schools and community organizations about pet overpopulation, responsible pet care, spay/neuter and the adoption option.
