Pet Insurance

Sheltercare is providing pet insurance free of charge for 30 days for anyone adopting a pet through Happy Hills. This is wonderful for our adopters. They get to use the veterinarian of their choice. It covers all the classic shelter possibilities like: Kennel cough, upper respiratory infections, ear infections, parvo, and mange. It also covers things like motor vehicle accidents, fractures, poison ingestion and more.

Happy Hills is located in beautiful rural Randolph County.  Many things have changed around the shelter in the last two years since our devasting Easter fire of 2004. Rebuilding has been a slow and long process as the shelter is entirely funded by sponsors and private donations. Even though each animal's length of stay at HHAF varies we are not intended to be a permanent home, just an "in between" point. The volunteers and staff of our shelter create an environment full of love and care while the animals wait for their "Forever Families".


PROMOTE A PET


We are inviting all of you to join in our Promote a Pet program. Pick a pet, talk to your friends and co-workers about that pet, print and put up posters, put an ad in the paper, if you are nearby pick your dog up (and flyers or cards to give interested folks) and take them for a trip to Petsmart, downtown, anywhere they can be seen. Use your imaginations! Then when your pet is adopted, tell us what worked best and we'll report that to our other Promote a Pet participants!
Foster Homes Needed
Foster homes are still in great need. Can you open your heart and home to a homeless pet!!!

You can see HHAF animals on the following days and times. From time to time we are in need of transportation volunteers to transport our pets back and forth to the Fox 8 studios. If you are interested in helping with this please contact our office.

BUD is a shy, little Corgie/Cocker Spaniel mix.  He was rescued from a local shelter where his time had almost run out.  BUD is a little meek but very loving.
BUD was reluctant to lift his head to look at us, but he sure did enjoy a belly-rubbing once he relaxed.  He is 7-years-old, so BUD is very settled.  His gentle demeanor will be a terrific complement to a household of all ages. 
What BUD needs more than anything is a loving forever home.  He has had such a rough life thusfar, and needs the security and trust of a family.  He will offer love and companionship tenfold!
If you have taken a shine to BUD, please contact Happy Hills Animal Foundation at (336) 622-3620 or visit www.hhaf.org.  BUD's adoption fee covers his neuter surgery, all vaccinations (including rabies) up to the date of adoption, deworming, heartworm testing and preventative, microchipping and a 30-day Sheltercare Health Insurance Policy.
Adoption fee:  $170.00

Grooming Services

  Grooming and Boarding Services  Available

Proceeds from these HHAF services help provide support for the homeless animals that we rescue.

 

Some of our animals here at HHAF have been at our shelter facility for a long period of time. These pets are either considered un-adoptable or less adoptable for one reason or another. Some are very timid while others have chronic health issues that make them less attractive to adopters.
You may choose one or more to sponsor.


No matter what your situation is. . . it is your willingness to help that is important.

Thanks!!

My name is Henjie and I have FHV. It isn't contagious to people, but it causes me problems with my eyes from time to time and so no one wants to adopt me.

Do I Go Home Today

My family brought me home one day cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me, and said I was full charm. They played with me and laughed with me they showered me with toys. I sure do love my family especially the girls and boys. The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats, They even let me sleep with them all snuggled in the sheets. I used to go for walks, often several times a day. They even fought to hold my leash, I'm very proud to say. These are things I'll never forget a cherished memory. I now live in a shelter without my family. They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe. But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new. The kids and I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug. So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bathroom rug. They said that I was out of control. and would have to live outside. This I did not understand although I tried and tried. The walks stopped one by one, they said they hadn't time. I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my crime. My life became so lonely, in the backyard, on a chain. I barked and barked all day long, to keep from going insane. So they brought me to a shelter but were embarrassed to say why. They said I caused an allergy, and then kissed me goodby. If I'd only had some classes, as a little pup. I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up. "You only have one day left," I heard the worker say. Does this mean a second chance? Do I go home today?

First Annual Randolph County Adoption Festival

The first ever combined Adoption Festival was held in coordination with Spay Day USA. This milestone in animal Rescue was held on Feb. 24, 2007 at the Randolph Mall Center Court. The day was a huge success with several Randolph County Animal Rescue Organization in attendence. They included Randolph County Animal Control, Randolph County Animal Shelter, Randolph County Humane Society, NC Equine Rescue, The Dog House Rescue, Ruff Love Rescue, and Happy Hills Animal Foundation.

We are all in this together. Although organizations have a variety of mission statements and governments have specific responsibilities, there is plenty of room for everyone to collaborate. This ground breaking festival was a huge success in community education as well as networking among other local Animal Rescue Organizations.











 

YOUR "FOREVER HOME"

[Gail Orth-Aikmus]


We knew that you were special
We knew it was no lark
That you would need a special home
We knew it from the start

We put you on the internet
And then the search began
To find for you that special place
Your "Forever Home" to land

Time has passed but we think of you
And how you are in your new home
We sleep much better every night
We know you're not alone
