Happy was rescued from MCACC where he had been E-Listed for a chronic limb injury. He had an old break that healed in a poor position causing chronic inflammation, pain and a joint out of socket. At his young age and high energy, Happy was likely running on adrenaline in the shelter as his x-rays indicated pretty clearly that he could feel way more than he was letting on. Because there may be risk for future injury, Happy’s front leg was amputated and he is a new ’Tri-Pawd’—Don’t worry, he is still the sweetest, happiest boy living up to his name!

Happy adjusted super fast to his foster home – he was playing with the other dogs within an hour and was snuggling in at bed time on the first night. Happy is a quick learner — he learned to use the doggy door within his first few days! With all of his energy, Happy likes to go on walks. He has been working on his leash manners, but does still pull on the leash out of excitement. Even while he was healing from his amputation, he would wait by the front door insisting he was ready to go on walks again—Nothing seems to get this boy down! Happy has a lot of young husky energy, is very friendly, and loves to play. To relax, Happy enjoys a good sunbathing session out on the grass. He is an affectionate dog and will even push his head into your lap to let you know it’s time for snuggles.

Happy would do well in a variety of homes that can match his energy. He gets along great with the girl dogs in his foster home, but isn’t sure about other male dogs. He hasn’t interacted with any cats in his time with us, so we are not sure how he would do. Happy is great with the children in his foster home (ages 7+), and enjoys being around his people. He likes to be in the same room with you just hanging out. Happy is appropriately named because no matter what happens to him, he is always wagging his tail and just such a pleasant boy.
