The Happy Life Weekly Adoption Newsletter 12/16- 12/22

Hello, Happy Lifers!


The holiday season is in full swing, and while many of us are making lists and checking them twice, our furry friends are simply dreaming of a warm bed, a full belly, and a family to call their own. What better way to celebrate the magic of the season than by giving the gift of love and companionship?


This week, we’ve got a lineup of adoption opportunities to help you find your new best friend just in time to make your holiday pawsitively perfect. Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy for cozy nights by the fire or a playful pup to frolic in the snow, we’ve got someone special waiting for you.


Last week's featured pet of the week; Bronco found his furever home in time for the Holidays!! Way to go buddy!

🎄 Winter Weather & Your Pets: Keep Those Paws Protected! 🐾

As the temperatures drop, it’s not just us humans who need extra layers—our furry friends could use some extra care, too! Here are a few quick tips to keep your pets safe and cozy this winter:


1️⃣ Watch those paws! Ice, snow, and road salt can irritate your pet’s paws. Rinse their feet after walks, or try pet-safe booties for extra protection.


2️⃣ Keep them warm: Short-haired breeds and senior pets might appreciate a cozy sweater or coat when going outdoors.


3️⃣ Beware of antifreeze: Spills from cars can taste sweet to animals but are extremely toxic. Be sure to clean up any spills immediately!


4️⃣ Limit time outside: Even the fluffiest pets can get cold in freezing weather, so keep outdoor playtime short and sweet.


Let’s make sure everyone—two-legged and four—stays safe, warm, and ready for all the holiday cheer this season brings!

🎄🐾 Make This Christmas Magical—for You and Them! 🐾🎄


This Saturday, join us for Paws and Claus at PetSmart in Mohegan Lake from 12–3 PM! It’s the purr-fect chance to find your furry soulmate just in time for the holidays. And if you can’t make it Saturday, swing by our adoption center during open hours on Sunday to meet our adorable adoptables.


These will be our last adoption opportunities before Christmas as we’ll be closed from Monday, 12/23, through Wednesday, 12/25, to give our team and animals a little holiday rest. But we don’t want a single wagging tail or hopeful purr left waiting until after Christmas—let’s get every cat and dog home for the holidays!


Bring a little extra love to your holiday celebrations this year with the unconditional joy of a rescue pet. They’re ready to be the best gift you’ve ever given yourself (or your family). Don’t wait—make this weekend the start of your new forever story! 🐾❤️

Featured Pup Of The Week! Antarctica!

Antarctica has been patiently waiting since August for his forever family, and we can’t think of a better holiday wish than to see this sweet, goofy boy finally find his home. At just 6-7 months old, he’s the perfect mix of playful pup and loving companion. Whether it’s chasing toys, giving cuddles, or being the star of your family photos, Antarctica is ready to fill your home with joy and laughter.


This lovable guy has so much heart to give and would make a wonderful addition to any family. Let’s help him find the greatest gift of all this holiday season—a home to call his own. Could that be with you? Come meet Antarctica at one of our adoption opportunities this week! 🐾❤️🎄
