    Happy Yappers is a unique sanctuary run by incredible people who go above and beyond for doggies that need love and homes. Their commitment is genuinely impressive. It is always special to foster or adopt a poochie and even more so from people who work so hard and give so much.

    Heart breaking and Heart warming at the very same time. A very well run animal shelter that is filled with love and compassion for their residents. However they have dogs that have been through the worst that man kind can do and that is just disgusting. Luckily the dogs saved by Happy Yappers have a special life now. I feel for those still out their being abused. Adopt / Donate / Assist in anyway possible. What a good cause

    Happy Yapper's is a wonderful organization, and always have the pups best interest in mind in everything they do. I have adopted two beautiful furry children from them over the past two years, and I was so impressed with their professionalism and compassion, I have now also started fostering for them too, which has further cemented my respect and awe for Kirst and Janet and everything they do for the animals in their care.

    Adopted my little Rex from them almost 2 years ago. The adoption fees included sterilization and all vaccines. My boy is happy and thriving and right now he is laying at my feet waiting for us to go on a walk. Thanks Happy Yappers!
