Happy Tails Sanctuary & Adoption Center

Happy Tails Sanctuary & Adoption Center Welcome to Happy Tails Sanctuary & Adoption Center, a haven for the unwanted dogs of Mauritius.

Established in 2019 with a heartfelt mission to provide love, care, and a second chance to these remarkable creatures, our sanctuary has become a refuge for 100+/- dogs, each with their unique story and an unquenchable desire for a forever home. In a world where too many dogs are left homeless and abandoned, Happy Tails shines as a beacon of hope and compassion. Here, we believe that every wagging

tail has a story to tell, and every pawprint leaves an indelible mark on our hearts. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where these incredible dogs can rediscover joy and trust in humanity. As you explore our sanctuary and get to know our furry residents, you'll find a diverse array of personalities, from the playful pups with boundless energy to the gentle souls who simply seek a warm lap and a kind word. Each of them carries the potential to bring immeasurable happiness to a loving family. We invite you to embark on a journey with us, to learn about the lives we've touched, the tails we've made wag, and the endless love we have to share. Whether you're seeking a loyal companion or simply wish to support our cause, Happy Tails Sanctuary & Adoption Center welcomes you with open arms. Together, we can turn their tales of hardship into stories of hope, and their once unhappy pasts into a lifetime of love and happiness. Thank you for visiting Happy Tails, where every day is a step closer to a brighter tomorrow for these wonderful dogs.

Annie (a paraplegic dog) and Jerry (a super cute, handsome boy) have been adopted by two angels living in Germany, one of which visited the sanctuary a month ago.

We are getting them ready for their journey but need a flight buddy to add them to their ticket (Condor Air preferably) mid-late August would be ideal. All expenses covered and arrangements to be made by us. You only have to check in at the airport we will be there too to check them in with you and pick them up from "oversized luggage" when you arrive. Their owners will be eagerly waiting at arrivals and you will be the hero of the day!

If you or anyone you know is travelling to Frankfurt from Mauritius around those dates, please contact me on 5475 6607!

Many thanks and let's get these two to their forever home without delay!

Our hundreds of 5 star reviews from tourists on our Airbnb and Tripadvisor "visits" make us super proud! Our team are so dedicated to our furry residents. We have always put the dogs first and in doing so have created a truly inspiring sanctuary model for our dogs.

It is not an easy task looking after 130 dogs. There has to be a system which addresses not only the physical health but also the mental health of dogs kept in captivity. We believe we have created this but are not claiming to know it all, we are always learning, adjusting and changing this system as we move on. The reviews are testament to our ongoing efforts.

With government whispers about "sheltering the strays" of the island, in a mass situation, makes us very nervous. This is not the way forward and will only bring a barrage of more neglect, abuse and bad press for their ongoing treatment of our local dogs. Just look at MSAW and see what they achieved in the past. We all know the HORRORS that will never be forgotten.

CNR Is the solution, education is the solution, mass marketing campaigns are the solution, ongoing sterilisation campaigns are the solution and of course enforcing the law is the solution.

Animal lovers have been saying it for decades, but the old government never listened (unless backed into a corner, such as post-covid MSAW exposure)

Will this new government finally listen to those who truly care? Those who have experience? Those who have made the big changes island-wide for the dogs up until now?

We wait in hope but will be pushing forward now to make sure we are heard and that the right solution is put forward.
