Who We Are
Our Mission
Happy Tails Canine Rescue is a small, volunteer run, foster based dog rescue in Memphis, TN. We are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs of all breeds who find themselves in crowded shelters and advocating for every dog’s second chance. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit strives to provide a loving haven for canines in need, supporting their well-being through compassionate care, community education, and responsible rehoming. Our ultimate goal is to foster a city where every dog gets their happy tail.

Our Founders
Christina and Josias Gomez have been rescuing and fostering dogs for years. When they realized how many dogs were being euthanized at the shelter in their city, they stepped up and started rescuing and fostering deadline dogs. They have saved several dogs from being put down at the shelter and have rescued Australian Shepherds from bad situations.
Dogs In Our Care
Rocko
Daisy Maisy
Rocko
Rocko is our senior boy, but don't let his age fool you! He is 7 years young and has a good balance of playful energy and couch potato. Rocko loves to be the center of attention and lives to make you smile! He would do best in a home where he is the only pup and no cats. Rocko responds best to female humans and would need patience and slow introductions to men.
Mac
Daisy Maisy
Rocko
Mac is our senior boy who has been slowly opening up with each day. He is heartworm positive and we are working closely with our vet to ensure Mac gets all the care he needs. He is currently not available for adoption but is getting all the rest and cuddles in his foster home!
Daisy Maisy
Daisy Maisy
Daisy Maisy
Daisy Maisy is a young, energetic pup who loves attention, adventure, and hopping up to give kisses. She takes direction well and will thrive with a family who can continue guiding her as she learns about the world. Daisy Maisy is playful with other dogs and will need slow introductions to new friends, but she’s ready to shower her forever family with love!
