FAQ #3: Where are you located?

FAQ #4: Do I live within your adoption area?

Happy Paws Rescue Inc. is a New Jersey based, all-volunteer, rescue/adoption organization. We generally adopt to families within a 1-hour radius of our home base in Piscataway, NJ but may consider farther distances in the tri-state region if volunteers are available. If you live beyond our geographical boundaries, we hope you will contact rescue organizations closer to your home.

FAQ #5: I need to surrender my pet–can you take him/her?

We hope our friends and visitors will understand that Happy Paws Rescue is unable to accept or respond to owner surrender requests or requests to take individual shelter pets.
