Americas 250th Celebration
🇺🇸 America’s 250th Celebration Adoption Event
Date: Sunday, July 5
Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Location: Happy Life Animal Rescue Adoption Center
Address: 1511 NY-22, Pawling, NY 12564
Join us as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday the best way we know how—helping homeless pets find the freedom of a forever home!
We’re opening our Adoption Center for a special holiday adoption event featuring dozens of adoptable dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to wonderful adult companions who are ready to start their next chapter.
🎉 Event Highlights
🇺🇸 Special Adoption Giveaways
Every adoption during the event will receive a special giveaway, thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters.
❤️ Long-Term Resident Adoption Specials
Many of our dogs who have been waiting 60 days or longer will have reduced adoption fees, giving even more families the opportunity to welcome home an incredible companion.
🐶 Meet Your New Best Friend
Whether you’re looking for an energetic adventure buddy, a cuddle companion, or a loyal family dog, we’ll have a wide variety of adoptable pets excited to meet you.
Thinking About Adopting?
Our knowledgeable adoption counselors will be available throughout the event to help match you with the perfect pet for your home and lifestyle. We encourage adopters to come prepared to take home their new family member the same day if it’s the right match!
Even if you’re not quite ready to adopt, we’d love for you to stop by, meet our animals, learn about fostering and volunteering, and see what Happy Life Animal Rescue is all about.
Let’s celebrate 250 years of America by giving more homeless pets something worth celebrating—a forever family.
We can’t wait to see you on July 5! 🐾🇺🇸❤️
