Happy Paws Rescue is a non profit animal rescue. We rescue animals within Yuba and Sutter counties. We are a rescue founded in the year 2012 but we have rescued and have been involved with animals officially the last 8 years and technically our whole lives. We rescue animals because we believe down to our core, our soul that animals matter! They are not disposable, they do have feelings and every life is worth saving, giving a second and sometimes third chance. Just being alive makes them matter. Thats it. It does not matter what breed. Every life counts. Our rescues are placed in foster homes. What does this mean? It means that the rescues live in houses until they are adopted. We only can take in what we can care for properly and keep healthy. We cannot take in more than we can handle. We will never euthanize unless it was a last resort. And believe me it has to be pretty bad before we would ever consider this. We only can take in when there is an open space/room and when someone is adopted we will take the next in line. We promise them when they come into our care that their lives are going to change. We will make sure the best we can that they will live long, healthy life. I always say to them when they are surrendered..."Don't worry, they did you a favor, I will get you a home that cares, who will love you and never leave you behind". We officially started years ago when we lost our cat and literally scoured the city looking for hours, weeks, months and even wonder about our Lady Bug today. She went missing. We put up flyers, walked neighborhoods, drove for countless hours even into the next counties. I just wanted her back. We never found her but saved about a dozen cats in the process. Kittens trapped in a school gutter, a kitten out in the Sutter Buttes Wildlife refuge etc. Then we started bottle feeding kittens. There is a great need. So many are motherless every season, even today. Well through the years it snowballed. We trickled into dogs and here we are today. Our first rescues were Eva and Elvis two little Chi/Dach's. I will always remember them. I wouldn't trade rescuing for the world. It is a lot of heartaches, headaches and work but very rewarding to see these lives come from nothing and end up with everything. It is amazing...seeing their lives transformed and teaching us humans lessons along the way. Never let them break your spirit.
The first step in adoption is to give us a call the day you are able to come and meet your potential new family member and take them home. We update daily and the dog may be gone by the time you are able to come. We are on a volunteer basis so time can be tight and the volunteer is giving up their family time to meet with you, talk with you. Aside from their time taking care of the rescues as well. We do however do not mind questions at all. We are happy you are asking.them. This shows that thought has been put into this process and we are very thankful for this. After the call if all goes well in the telephone interview, we arrange a time to meet at the local pet store. Gaiser Pets. We however are do not work there. We just go their for adoptions at our arranged times. Once there, a volunteer will meet with you, answer all your questions, go over our contract and policies. If both parties agree and you wish to adopt, you will fill out the contract. Be given copies of contract and vaccination record and you will recieve all information needed on your new family member. We do ask for updates. We thoroughly enjoy getting updates, seeing our rescues and keeping in contact. We have some we have heard from for years. It is great! Our email is [email protected]. Our adoption fees include their spay, or neuter, 3 rounds of puppy shots and their rabies.The dogs have also been dewormed and deflead. We also offer a free local veterinarian office visit. This is if the puppy is under 4 mos of age. If the dog is 4 mos and over the dog will be spayed or neutered. Deflead, dewormed, UTD on shots including rabies, micro-chipped and free local veterinarian office visit.
