Tomorrow Hannah’s babies get their spay/neuters and will be available to head to their forever homes! Foster Mom has taught them manners and they already respond to commands.
They have been in a home for most of their lives and want them to go to theirs asap!
If you are interested in a staffy/pitty/lab pup, please send an application to our website! Happytailshumanesociety.org.
The following are write ups about each pup from their foster Mom!

I can’t believe the time has come for these little ones to find their forever homes! The last two months have been such a blessing, and I’m so grateful for this experience.

Each of these pups has a unique personality, and I can’t wait for them to bring joy to their new families! Let’s meet them, from smallest to biggest (and biggest in spirit).

Tiny Tim (Timothy) – The Underdog with a Big Heart

Tim is the smallest boy, and honestly, he’s always cold. I call him Tiny Tim because if there’s a warm spot to be found, he’s in it! He’s escaped his pen twice, and both times, I found him curled up on the floor register like a tiny furnace gremlin. Despite his size, he holds his own against his siblings. Tim is super treat-motivated, already sits on command, and loves squeaky toys—especially if he can snuggle up somewhere warm while playing with them.

Maddie – The Sweet & Sneaky Snuggler

Maddie is the smallest girl and enjoys her alone time… until she doesn’t. She’s a master of the surprise pounce, launching herself into playtime only when she decides it’s necessary. She’s a laid-back pup who would rather nap than chase toys, but she loves belly rubs and butt scritches. Maddie also knows how to sit on command, but really, she’d prefer to just be cuddled.

Ryann – The Independent Thinker

Miss Independent herself, Ryann likes to do things her way—alone, if possible. She’s often found perched in a high-up, safe space, just watching the chaos unfold below. But don’t let her fool you—she’s a cuddler at heart! She adores chew toys, is very treat- and praise-motivated, and will snuggle up when she’s ready. She also sits on command like a champ!

Joey (Joe) – The Wild Child

The blonde of the family—Mom must have run out of ink! Joey is all boy: rough, loud, and fast. He plays with anything and everything, always on the move, and is the life of the party. He knows how to sit and lie down, but only if there’s a treat involved. One of his funniest quirks? He loves to sleep on his back and has some pretty hilarious dream moments!

Brodie – The Big Boss with a Teddy Bear Heart

Brodie the brute—this boy is ginormous. He knows he’s big, and he’s not afraid to throw his weight around. But beneath that tough-guy exterior is a total teddy bear who always seeks out affection. He loves belly rubs, squeaky toys (until he inevitably destroys the squeaker), and being the center of attention. With his massive paws and even bigger personality, Brodie is impossible to ignore!

These pups are ready to find their forever homes, and I can’t wait to see them bring as much love and laughter to their new families as they have to mine!

Who remembers this post?
We want to Thank DRD of St. Louis and all of you who rallied behind sweet Annie and Hannah & family! We could not have made tomorrow a possibility without you!!
We sent a plea out…HELP us! We need a Mama and babies foster now! We can’t have her stressed in a shelter in her condition.😪
Up stepped a new face to Happy Tails!
Taylor messaged us immediately! She said… I want to be their Foster Mom! We asked this sweetheart more than once, are you sure? And her speedy confident strong answer was YES!
She saved lives!
She became a mom that moment to 6 lives!
Taylor, you are our hero! You are their Hero! And you are a Hero to so many lives these loved babies will touch by entering their families!
We know how much you love them as your own, and that makes you a truly unique and special heart!
We want to Thank you for endless nights, countless hours of care, millions of piles of puppy p**p, and all those puppy snuggles you found the time for!! You are truly an Angel to so many!
Those broken eyes found pure love!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
You are an amazing Mom!
