November
National Animal
Shelter
Appreciation
Month
During this Thanksgiving season we
all begin to visualize the many things we have to be thankful for in our
everyday lives. Even in harsh economic times we all have many
thanksgivings. Our four legged companions are many times forgotten amongst
the holiday shuffle. November has been deemed National Animal Shelter
Appreciation Month to bring these helpless creatures to the forefront
during an otherwise busy time.
The homeless animals of our community are thankful to
have Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc. on their side. Cheryl Routh
opened her home and heart to these homeless and many times forgotten pets
in the early 1980’s. The need was so great that the Happy Hills
shelter/rescue was built to offer a safe place for these unwanted animals
until a loving home could be found for them.
Twenty-five plus years and thousands of paws have taken an extreme
toll on the Happy Hills shelter facility. Major renovations are now
underway. Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit animal
rescue that receives no public funding to help with their work. The
financial support for day to day operating costs as well as the
renovations comes directly from caring individuals like
you.
Vincent van Gogh once said “Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together.”
During this month of animal shelter appreciation Happy Hills would
like to present a challenge to our community to keep the needs of our
homeless animal population in the forefront of our minds and hearts.

Youth
Involvement
A New
Generation
In
Animal
Welfare
The pet overpopulation
explosion is a problem that animal welfare groups like HHAF have been at
war against for many years. This war is being won one battle at a time
through spay/neuter programs and humane education. Happy Hills is a firm
believer in the fact that the youth of today will become the pet owners
and animal advocates of tomorrow. It is our obligation to educate and
guide these youth toward responsible attitudes concerning animal ownership
and care.
The
HHAF mission addresses this challenge. A working relationship with many
youth based programs is one way of meeting this goal. Some of these
coordinated efforts include programs with the Boy Scouts of America, Girl
Scouts of America, Public High School senior project students, Public
elementary school students, Church youth groups including Sunday school
and Bible School classes, Randolph County Juvenile Court System, Future
Farmers of America Chapter, and New Beginnings Youth Home.
Through
volunteer programs that focus on youth involvement HHAF is taking an
active role in building positive and responsible attitudes in our youth to
carry on for generations.
Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc.

Dog Fest
Happy Hills was happy to be able to
participate in the 11th annual Dog Fest held again in Level Cross, NC.
This wonderful yearly event is sponsored by the Randolph County Canine
Corps.
Dog Fest is an event used to educate and
entertain families along with their dogs while raising money to help
local dog and dog related groups. A day to spend with your
dog that is centered around demonstrations and games that directly involve
your dog. Also it is a venue to possibly find your new best friend
represented by rescue groups exhibiting dogs for adoption.
The dogs and volunteers from Happy Hills had a
wonderful day at this year's Dog Fest. Our dogs participated in the rescue
parade, obedience competion, musical fast sit competion as well as just
lounging around in the fall sunshine enjoying all the attention that they
recieved from the public that attended.
Cat Independence Days Extended
All Cat adoption Fees Have Been Waived until further
notice.
Many of the cats of

fee in hopes of improving their chances of finding a Forever Home of their
own.

Long Term
Care
Happy Hills was founded in 1982. Over
the years many things have changed but one thing has always
remained constant. That is a Life Long commitment to the animals in our
care. We currently have 54 animals in our program.
60 percent of the current population of the HHAF shelter
have been residents for 1 year or longer. These long term residents
require routine care in addition to care given during normal intake.
This additional care includes but is not limited to monthly heartworm
preventive, monthly flea preventive, annual vaccinations, required rabies
booster shots, semiannual de-worming, dental cleaning and extractions,
special diets, maintence medications, and more.
We know from experience that there is a home for everyone
at the shelter. Some just take longer to find that special home than
others.
The care and quality of life for these long term residents
is foremost in our minds as we are sure it is yours.

IamsHome 4 the
Holidays
Happy
Hills Animal Foundation, Inc. is again proud to be participating in the
Iams Home 4 the Holidays Campaign. No one enjoys thinking about images of
the homeless faces behind bars during the holiday season. Every animal
deserves a home for the holidays and a loving family to share that home
with.
We have set a goal of placing 20 dogs and 10 cats into loving homes
before the New Year. This goal is well underway with 6 dog and 2 cat
adoptions at the end of October.
Help us
reach our goal by considering adding a rescued pet to your
family.
