My name is Spartacus!

Since we closely interact with our rescues via intimate foster environments, we feel that adoptive families are able to learn more about each rescue (than rescues who are in larger facilities and unable to show their true personalities). We so ENJOY the process of introducing our rescues to their new families knowing that we have done all we can to make a GREAT match!

Happy Days Animal Haven is a foster based 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue based in the beautiful Coachella Valley. While our rescue began with dogs and cats, we saw the need for the rescue of exotic animals and, as such, our main focus is upon the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of exotic animals such as house rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, miniature pigs, etc.

Our wonderful rescues are provided with healthy diets tailored to their specific dietary requirements (such as daily fresh greens, fresh hay and good quality pellets for the rabbits and miniature pigs, fresh greens and proper pellets for birds, etc.), as well as daily emotional enrichment and socialization. We also have an established team of volunteers and veterinarians who are experienced in the rescue and care of these wonderful exotic animals.

While our focus is rescuing abandoned animals, we are also committed to educating those who adopt from us (as well as the general public) on how to best care for and enrich the lives of all pets. In this regard, we: (1) offer guidance on how to best acclimate a new pet to his/her new family and home environment; (2) provide direction for housing -- emphasizing that dogs/cats have VERY different needs than exotic pets such as birds, house rabbits and miniature pigs, etc.; (3) share our many contacts and resources that have been developed through our rescue including veterinary care (whether for dogs and cats or an avian/exotics veterinarian for birds, house rabbits, miniature pigs, etc.), animal enrichment, animal behavior, etc..
To further assist the families of all animals (with an emphasis on exotic animals), we also offer boarding with experienced caregivers, the proceeds of which go toward supporting our rescue efforts.

Thank you for taking a moment to learn about our rescue and, if you wish to support our efforts, your tax deductible donations are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

Sincerely,

Laura Days, Founder / President
