Happy Dogs of New England

Dog rescue in Southern, NH

We are a rescue group who helps dogs in the south to find homes in the New England area. Our group is made up of many caring volunteers. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER. All our animals are kept in foster homes. WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH HOMES for HAPPY DOGS.

Our goal is to save animals and find them great, loving homes. When we rescue an animal, we have certain vetting requirements that the pet must adhere to before getting adopted out. This includes spay or neuter, vaccinations, worming and treatment for parasites. Each dog is seen by a vet and travels with an interstate health certificate.
