Happy Tails Dog Rescue. Inc.

Dog rescue in Smithtown, NY

We are a small foster-based, 100% volunteer, animal rescue based on Long Island in NY. We do not have a facility, so all of our animals live in foster homes, with other pets, kids, etc. We save animals from high kill shelters and help local outreach groups who save animals from hoarding or abandonment cases. We also pull street dogs (Satos) from Puerto Rico, abused dogs from Macedonia, and desperate dogs from South Korea. All of our volunteers actively seek new, loving homes for these animals.
