Welcome to HappyFeetRescueNY.com

It all started in the 80's as a kid begging my mom to bring home every stray that followed us home. We ended up with one dog for 14 years and my love for these beings has never ceased but grown. I am now retired from the FDNY EMS and with the help of my husband who also loves dogs we have quiet a crew, check out their pictures on the page. So, this pack started where some were dropped off, some were ours already but in April 2022 a plea over Facebook was on my husband's page a rescue pleading for fosters online.  Zeke was in a small shelter in Louisianna skinny looking defeated and on the euthanasia list. Our hearts melted we opened our doors and our hearts to Zeke our Pitbull mix. (Pic down below black and white cutie) When he arrived, he was skinny but in good spirit. Sometime later he became ill, at times I didn't think he would pull through but thanks to the wonderful doctors at the hospital and his rescue he pulled through.  You don't know thankful unconditional love until a rescue animal comes into your life. It's like he knew he had been saved off that euthanasia list and oh was he grateful. Months passed but we knew we could not give him up, so we foster failed! Fast forward as our awareness of so many dogs in need increased, our minds and emotions could not just sit quietly.  We found out about so many shelters that are full to capacity, so many dogs being put down EVERY DAY, healthy adoptable dogs it made no sense. Rescues are overwhelmed with not enough fosters, too many dogs or mounting medical bills. Whew! to say all that, so here we are stepping out in faith that we can be part of the solution. Follow us on this journey as we hope to help them, the voiceless and help YOU find your fur ever companion. 

Our mission is to help dogs near our home in NY and most recently in Texas. We are serious animal lovers who hate to see endless amounts of animals euthanized every day, not only euthanasia but there is abuse, or abandonment and neglect. We have started this rescue with big hopes and dreams to get these animals into their loving fur ever homes where these situations will one day be a thing of the past. Where every dog or cat can know they are home safe, loved and protected.  We hope in the process to work with other organizations and rescues and YOU, of course we can't make any of it happen without all of your support and donations. We are a 501c3 rescue so all donations can go towards the helping of these fur babies Thank you.
