We've completed over 100,000 hours of community service, all thanks to dedicated volunteers. Join us in making 2025 even more impactful by donating today.

🎉✨ Happy New Year’s Eve from all of us at Happy Life Animal Rescue! ✨🎉

As we get ready to welcome 2025, we can’t help but look back at this incredible year filled with wagging tails, purring friends, and so many happy forever homes. 🐾💖 Thanks to YOU—our amazing supporters, adopters, fosters, volunteers, and donors—countless animals found their second chance at life.

Let’s ring in the new year with hope, love, and a commitment to keep making a difference. 🎆 Whether you’re adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating, every effort helps us continue this life-saving mission. Cheers to even more tails wagging in 2025! 🥂🐶🐱

🎉 Update on Sammy! 🎉

Thanks to YOU, Sammy is out of surgery and out of the hospital! This brave little 10-week-old kitten has officially started her road to recovery after having her ruptured eye removed. She’s settling into a loving foster home where she’ll continue to heal with lots of care and love.

We couldn’t have done this without the incredible support from our amazing community. 💖 Your donations, shares, and kind words have made all the difference for Sammy.

Her journey isn’t over yet—she still has follow-up appointments and recovery ahead—but she’s on her way to a pain-free, happy life. If you’d like to help us cover the remaining vet bills or support other animals in need, it’s not too late to donate.

🚨 Emergency Help Needed for Sammy 🚨

Meet Sammy, a 10-week-old kitten we rescued over the weekend. Last night, Sammy was rushed to the ER after her eye ruptured. This sweet girl has been stabilized and is undergoing surgery to remove her ruptured eye.

Sammy is brave, loving, and deserves a pain-free, happy life. But her ER visit and surgery have already exceeded $2,000, and we need your help to cover these lifesaving costs.

Will you be a hero for Sammy? Every donation makes a difference. https://secure.qgiv.com/for/letssavelivestogetherin2025

Let’s show Sammy the love and support she deserves! 🐾💖

📣 Meet Ducky! 🐾

At just 6 months old and a petite 15 lbs, Ducky is the perfect pint-sized bundle of sweetness! 💖 We’re not sure exactly what her breed is… but let’s be honest, she’s 100% certified adorable. 🦆✨

Ducky’s a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you. Give her some time (and maybe a treat or two), and you’ll see her cuddly, playful side shine through! She’s the kind of girl who’ll melt your heart one wag at a time. 🐕💕

Ready to meet your new best friend? Visit her today during open hours or swing by this Saturday at our adoption event at PetSmart in Mohegan Lake (12–3 PM)! Ducky’s patiently waiting for her perfect match—could it be you? 🥹🐾

✨ Calling all starry-eyed adopters! ✨

Meet the Zodiac Litter—a group of 9-10 week old pups who are ready to align your universe and become your perfect match!

These little cosmic cuties didn’t have the easiest start in life—found abandoned under a building, they had to fend for themselves, which left them missing a bit of their fur. But don’t worry! With love, care, and a little stardust, their hair is making a stellar comeback, and you’d never know they once had a rough patch.

Despite their beginnings, these pups are bursting with friendliness, love, and pure puppy joy. Each one is looking for a forever home where they can shine like the stars they are.

Come meet them starting TODAY during open hours! Who knows? You might just find your perfect astrological (and adoptable) match.

✨ Your new best friend is waiting to write the stars with you. ✨

📍 Stop by today and make the magic happen!

✨ Meet Pauly, Polly, and Prissy—our snow day stars you may have seen in our reel earlier with personalities as unique as their names! 🐾

💛 Polly: This shy girl takes her time to trust, but once she warms up to you, she’s ALL about the snuggles and kisses. She’ll quietly follow you around, making sure she doesn’t miss a moment by your side.

💪 Pauly: The confident one! Pauly is always ready to lead the pack and show his siblings the ropes. He’s a loyal, brave boy who just wants someone to explore the world with.

👑 Prissy: The diva, and she knows it! Prissy demands to be the center of attention (and let’s be honest—she deserves it!). She’ll charm you with her antics and steal your heart in seconds.

These 10-month-old Lab/Shepherd mixes were rescued from a heartbreaking situation, but you’d never guess it with how much love and joy they have to give. Now, they’re looking for forever homes where they can shine!

✨ Want to meet them? Stop by our open hours this week or come to our adoption event this Saturday! We’ll be at Petsmart in Mohegan lake from 12-3. Don’t miss your chance to meet this unforgettable trio—they’re ready to make your holidays even brighter!

🎄🐾 Ho, Ho, WHOA! Meet the Christmas Litter! 🐾🎄

Santa’s got a little surprise for you this year, and no, it’s not just socks and scented candles. It’s 7 ridiculously cute, 10-week-old Catahoula pups who are about to steal your heart faster than Rudolph leading the sleigh!

These little bundles of Christmas cheer are as sweet as sugar cookies and twice as snuggly as your favorite blanket. They’ll be officially ready for adoption starting Tuesday, 12/17, just in time to find their way under your tree (or, let’s be real, onto your couch).

✨ Why you NEED one of these pups in your life:
• They’ll make your holidays instantly brighter.
• They’re the perfect excuse to stay in your PJs all day (puppy snuggles are a full-time job).
• Forget holiday stress—puppy kisses are the ultimate cure!

So, skip the lines at the mall and give yourself the ultimate gift this Christmas: unconditional love, puppy breath, and a lifetime of wagging tails.

🎅 P.S. They told Santa they’re all on the nice list. Can confirm.

OUR STORY

Happy Life Animal Rescue (HLAR) is a nonprofit, foster-based, animal rescue organization. HLAR is located in Patterson, New York, and serves the Hudson Valley. We are dedicated to rescuing homeless animals who are victims of abuse & neglect, shelter overpopulation, and owner surrender. We are also committed to promoting local spay/neuter programs.

Ultimately, we hope to work with other rescues and humane organizations in finding forever homes for as many animals as possible. We rely solely on donations in order to continue to rescue and we receive no local or federal funding for our work.
