About Us

Happy Tails Rescue Inc. is a non-profit, dog rescue based in Northwest Indiana, with a mission to reduce euthanasia rates of dogs in shelters. To this end, we work with Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland shelters, humane societies, and animal control agencies to transfer dogs into our care that may otherwise not be deemed adoptable by the shelter -- senior dogs, dogs with medical issues, unpopular breeds like Pit Bulls and Chihuahuas, dogs that are not handling the stress of the shelter environment well, and dogs with manageable behavioral issues. All of Happy Tails Rescue's dogs veterinary needs are taken care of, and they are fostered by volunteers in screened loving foster homes around Northwest Indiana until they find their forever home. In addition to rescuing dogs, Happy Tails Rescue spays/neuters local animals in need as funds allow.
