Adopt Joy in Newburgh This August!

August 22 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Find joy, save a life, and meet your new best friend! Happy Life Animal Rescue will be at PetSmart in Newburgh, New York, on Saturday, August 22, for Adopt Joy!, a special pet adoption event featuring animals searching for loving homes.

Adopt Joy! is the perfect opportunity to meet adoptable animals in person, learn about their personalities, and discover which companion may be the right fit for your family. Our team will be available throughout the event to introduce you to the animals attending, answer your questions, and explain the Happy Life Animal Rescue adoption process.

Every adoptable animal has a unique personality, background, and set of needs. Spending time with them in person can help you make a thoughtful and informed decision about adding a new companion to your household. Whether you are ready to adopt now or are just beginning your search, we invite you to stop by and get to know some wonderful animals who are waiting for their second chance.

Adopting a rescue animal does more than change one life. It also creates space and resources for another animal in need, allowing Happy Life Animal Rescue to continue its lifesaving work. Even if you are not currently able to adopt, you can still support the event by visiting, sharing it with friends and family, and helping us spread the word about the animals searching for homes.

If you are looking for a pet adoption event in Newburgh, Orange County, or the surrounding Hudson Valley area, mark your calendar for Saturday, August 22. Come visit Happy Life Animal Rescue at PetSmart Newburgh and experience the happiness that comes from making a meaningful connection with an adoptable pet.

Join us for Adopt Joy! and help us create more happy endings. The love of your life may be waiting to meet you at PetSmart in Newburgh!
