Happy Tails Happy Homes started in 2011 when two long term animal rescuers and advocates, Vicki Niles and Nicki Larson joined forces to create a rescue that took in the underdogs. Too many times in their times of working with different organizations did they see the ones with medical or behavioral needs be turned away.  Happy Tails Happy Homes works hard to take in specifically the ones who need us most. The ones who are looked over by others and need a second chance.  They may cost more financially for behavior and medical needs, they may spend more time in our rescue while we wait for the perfect adopter, or they may even end up being forever fosters who we care for their whole lives, but we stand by our dogs.  Our moto is “Once a Happy Tails Happy Home Dog, always a Happy Tails Happy Homes Dog.”

We work with all breeds, all ages, and a variety of behavior and medical need.  Every dollar we earn goes directly to the animas. Running a rescue is hard. The reality is we cannot help every dog we want due to limited resources financially, behaviors accepted for our insurance, and number of foster homes we have available. However, every member of our rescue works hard day and night to save as many lives as we can and continue to advocate for those without a voice.

Every dog deserves LOVE      Every dog deserves RESPECT  

Every dog deserves a SECOND CHANCE.
