Dover Day Adoptions 2026
Dover Day — Meet Adoptable Dogs at Thomas J. Boyce Park, Dover NY
📅 Saturday, June 19, 2027 | 🕚 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Thomas J. Boyce Park, Dover, NY (Hudson Valley)
Happy Life Animal Rescue is proud to be part of Dover Day, a community celebration at Thomas J. Boyce Park in Dover, NY. Stop by our booth to meet adoptable dogs from our Hudson Valley-based no-kill rescue, learn about fostering and volunteering, and find out how you can support local dog and cat adoptions in Dutchess County.
Dover Day is a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a day out in the community while connecting with a local rescue making a real difference for homeless dogs and cats. Our team will be on hand from 11 AM to 4 PM to answer adoption questions, share information about our foster program, and introduce you to some of our adoptable pups looking for their forever homes.
