Happy Days Pet Rescue

Headquartered on Northeast Twelfth Terrace in Oakland Park, Happy Days Pet Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all-volunteer animal-rescue organization serving Broward County. Featured on the Humane Society of Broward County's rescue-assistance referral list, the group is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned and surrendered dogs and cats in need of a second chance.

Operating through a network of private foster homes across Oakland Park and neighboring Broward cities, Happy Days Pet Rescue ensures every incoming dog receives a complete veterinary checkup, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, heartworm testing, microchipping, and spay-and-neuter surgery. Living with foster volunteers allows each dog to receive daily affection and socialization while awaiting a permanent family. Foster caregivers in Oakland Park and surrounding Broward neighborhoods help each dog master house-training, leash walking, and calm greetings before transitioning to an adoptive home.

Prospective adopters can view adoptable pets online, submit an adoption application, and schedule a meet-and-greet with the rescue's volunteer coordinators. Local residents can also support Happy Days Pet Rescue by applying to volunteer, fostering a dog or puppy, or making a tax-deductible financial contribution. Every adoption and donation enables Happy Days Pet Rescue to pull another deserving dog or puppy from an overcrowded shelter and start their journey toward a happier life.
