Happy Life Animal Rescue runs entirely on donations — no government grants, no outside funding. There's more than one way to give, and every contribution makes a real difference.
Happy Life Animal Rescue receives zero government funding and no outside grants. Every single dollar you donate goes toward vet care, food, and shelter for the animals in our care.
Secure · Tax-deductible · Every dollar helps
This is what your support looks like in real life — our team, our community, and the results we achieve together. Thank you for making moments like this possible.
One-time donations are wonderful. But monthly donors are the backbone of everything we do — they let us plan ahead, take on more animals, and never have to turn one away because of budget uncertainty.
Not every donation has to be money. Our animals and operations need a steady stream of supplies — from food and bedding to cleaning products and office essentials. Browse our wishlists and have items shipped straight to our door.
Dry food, wet food, and training treats for dogs and cats of all ages — from puppies and kittens to seniors with special dietary needs.

550 Route 22, Pawling, NY 12564Rescue doesn't stop at our door. Getting animals safely from rescue points to foster homes, vet appointments, and adoption events takes fuel, time, and coordination every week.
Donations to our transport fund go directly toward vehicle costs, mileage, and the logistics of moving animals across the Hudson Valley and tri-state area. It's unglamorous work — and it's absolutely essential.
Donate to Transport →One of the most powerful things you can do for HLAR is rally your community. Whether it's your workplace, school, neighborhood, or social circle — a donation drive turns one person's passion into a collective impact.
Have something special to contribute? Items like signed memorabilia, experiences, or premium goods make incredible raffle prizes at our fundraising events — like our annual Gary B. Love Golf Outing. These donations can raise thousands in a single night.
Donate a Raffle Item →Set up a collection bin in your office or run an email campaign among colleagues. Monetary drives, supply drives, or both — we'll support you every step of the way with materials and guidance.
Get in Touch to Start →Students, PTAs, and community organizations make incredible partners. A supply drive or fundraiser is a great way to teach kids about animal welfare while making a real difference locally.
Partner With Us →Instead of gifts, ask friends and family to donate to Happy Life in your honor. Facebook and Instagram make it easy to set up a birthday fundraiser — 100% of funds come directly to us.
