As part of our ongoing collaboration with biomedical research facilities, we have rescued 39 “celebrity” research beagles since mid-December. All of the dogs have celebrity names—from George Clooney to Tina Fey.

There are 16 more beagles in need of rescue as part of this current project. When the dogs come to us, we will place them in foster homes and give them veterinary care, including spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, and flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. We also provide food, boarding (in some cases), and general supplies (leashes, harnesses, chews, toys, etc.)

We rely solely on donors and adoption fees to fund our rescue work. While our adoption fees help to offset our expenses, we are routinely exceeding this amount with the care we provide for the beagles. We greatly appreciate any donations that will help us to continue to rescue these dogs and find them loving homes.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest news and pictures of these 16 special dogs.

We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization; donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. Donations can be made using the YouCaring fundraiser below. We will also gladly accept checks, which can be mailed to Happy Paws Rescue, PO Box 411, South Plainfield, NJ 07080.

Please email us at happypawsrescue@gmail.com with any questions about donating, fostering, or adopting. We can’t thank you enough for your generosity and thoughtfulness for these dogs!
