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.

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.

Bandit has been with the rescue since December 2025. He is a young, energetic boy who is great with children and other dogs. Bandit would love a home to call his own.

Maisie has a beautiful heart and loves to be close to her humans. She is eager to learn and does well in a home with other dogs and cats. She is up to date on vaccines and is scheduled to be spayed.

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!

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!

Leo is our tiny 8lb guy who has a playful spirit and spunky little attitude. His favorite things are playing with toys, having zoomies, and cuddling close to his fosters. Leo is heartworm positive and is going through treatment. He is currently not available for adoption and his main focus is to get healthy.
