Welcome to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue!
HDDCR is an all-volunteer, 501c3 registered non-profit rescue that rescues dogs and cats in need throughout Michigan and beyond its borders, to Ohio and other states depending on the need. We pull from rural shelters where adoptions are few and kill rates are high. We focus on 'urgent' lists and those dogs and cats that are overlooked because they are unattractive, older or sick. We believe that every animal should have a second chance at a loving home; even if that loving home is in a hospice situation. We exist and rely solely on the generosity of our donors and our hardworking volunteers.
Your donation helps us provide the animals in our care happier days!

Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue is celebrating a decade of rescue!
We started off in 2016 with a few cats and dogs, and a few volunteers. Always working toward our goal of giving dogs and cats a second chance at a loving home, there were days we weren’t sure we would be able to continue our mission! There were set-backs, heartaches, lack of help, money woes….you name it, we encountered it! But thanks to YOU--our awesome adopters, loyal supporters, hard-working volunteers, and community partners always at the ready to help out, we made it and are looking forward to another 10 years of rescuing dogs and cats to give them a second chance of a forever home!
Please join us in our celebration by raising a glass to our success because of YOUR support! If you would like to wish us a Happy Anniversary, email us at: info.hddcr@gmail.com. If you would like to make a donation to our Rescue in honor of your adopted pet or ‘just because’, our PayPal address is: board.hddcr@gmail.com. Or Venmo at: Pamela Peterson@happydaysrescue. You can also send a check to: HDDCR | P O Box 530012 | Livonia, MI 48153
May you all have a blessed and prosperous New Year!

If you are 65 years old or older and looking for a companion animal, look no further!
Consider our Senior For Senior program. Seniors can adopt a senior companion animal for half price. Our animals are all vetted prior to adoption and if you are no longer able to care for your companion animal due to hospitalization or moving to a nursing home we will accept the animal back into our foster program.
Research has shown that adopting a companion animal has benefits beyond the obvious one of companionship:
- Companion animals can help improve one's mental and physical well-being. Petting your companion animal is a soothing experience with the benefits of lowered stress levels and blood pressure.
 Companion animals provide friendship for lonely individuals and provides opportunities for interactions with others. This may be especially important to the older adult whose family lives far away.- The company a companion animal provides has been proven to reduce depression by giving the older adult a purpose and sense of being needed by focusing on the care and needs of the companion animal.
- The senior citizen home is usually a quieter environment with a consistent routine, Ideal for the senior animal looking for a similar environment.
- Senior animals are often gentle and calm, more low-key and often are already trained.
Meet our available senior companion animals!
