We’re proud to join Communities Foundation of Texas for North Texas Gives to Animals, happening May 14–31, 2026. During this two week event, you can explore and support hundreds of animal organizations, including The Happy Pet Project, all in one place.
Here’s how you can make your impact go even further:
🤠 To kick things off on May 14, the first $100,000 in donations will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to the The Gigi Gartner Charitable Foundation Fund, along with generous sponsors
🤠 The first $100 per donor, per organization will be matched for online gifts
🤠 100% of your donation goes directly to nonprofits, with all transaction and technology fees covered
Every dollar you give helps us rescue, rehabilitate, and bring dogs HOME across North Texas, creating more second chances and more Happy Pet endings.
Be part of something bigger, give, share, and help us bring happy home!
ABOUT THE HAPPY PET PROJECT
At The Happy Pet Project, we’re on a mission to end the overpopulation of animals in North Texas. As a foster-based, all-breed rescue, we work every day to save the lives of homeless animals, support community members in need, and keep pets in their homes — all while educating people on the powerful, positive impact they can make.
Together, we can change the lives of homeless pets — forever. Let’s make lives better and communities stronger, one Happy Pet at a time.
The mission of The Happy Pet Project is to partner with local municipal shelters to end the overpopulation of companion animals in Texas through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption, while educating people about responsible pet ownership, animal advocacy, and topics related to animal welfare.
ALL of us can make a difference in some way!
The vision of The Happy Pet Project is a world without homeless animals where animal welfare organizations can work with one another and with community pet owners to increase the health, happiness, and fulfillment of pets, their owners, and animal welfare workers and volunteers.
The animals of our community need every one of us to give the time, energy, and dollars that we can.
If you can spare a space in your home to foster, please be the difference for a living animal in need.
If you can spare a few hours a week to help with administrative tasks, please volunteer with us!
If you can afford a donation, please, donate today.
Together, we can make a difference.
