Please help!!!
I dont like asking for anything. I know times are hard but if you could donate any amount it would greatly help us.

We have a vet appointment next week for Taffy. She has a stage 5 heart murmur. She needs to go in to see if her meds are working or if they need to be increased.

Please help if you can. We are almost out of money. I don't know what would happen with the dogs. Paypal: [email protected] or mail to 717 Cherokee Rd. Pelzer, SC 29669-9141.
Thank you for your help. (Please share this post)

We appreciate the kindness of Caroline, Natalie, and Maria, students from Palmetto High School, who took time off from their Spring break to lend a hand at Happy Dogs Rescue. Over the course of 2 hours, they assisted with various tasks following feeding time, including washing dishes, sweeping floors, and providing fresh water for the animals. After taking a short snack break, they showered attention on several of our larger dogs, including Freckles, Summer, Marvin, and Maya, by walking and brushing them. Their contribution was invaluable, and we are grateful for their service.

Update:
We received 217 lbs of dog food this week. Thank you!

You can still donate. It would be much appreciated. It doesn't last long when feeding 30 dogs.

We are in need of dry dog food. We have 1 bag 48 lbs left. We use Purina Dog Chow chicken flavor but will take anything.

You can send to 717 Cherokee Rd Pelzer SC 29669-9141.
You can also drop off at Country Charm Salon 2801 Hwy 86 Piedmont SC
Or Paypal [email protected]
Thank you!

The bill is estimated at $550 for 25 dogs. Thank you sincerely for your help. This will get us through to September.

If you have ever come to the rescue you met Rosie. She was our official greeter. The matriarch of our dogs. She loved everyone. She started having real bad seizures last night at 9pm and continued off and on all night. It broke our hearts to see her like this. We did what we felt was best for her and helped her cross the rainbow bridge this morning. She was 14 years old. We've had her since she was 8 weeks old. RIP Rosie you were a very special dog and we loved you so much. Life will not be the same without you.

THANK YOU!!! for your prayers. We made it through this storm without power loss. We only lost one tarp on a kennel. No trees fell. We were blessed.
