Baby Girl! The sweetest dog and loved by so many! You will be missed but forever in our hearts. Love, Kiki, Charlie and Lola

We miss you

In loving memory of Toby (Tobe Tobe) Arena. You were your mom's pride and joy. Her work BFF, always within an arm's reach. Often even holding her hand while she worked. So close your dad would comment on the "unnatural bond." Thank you for joining us on so many conference calls, always appearing so regal. And most importantly, thank you for all the love you gave to your family. xoxo

Bogey, one half of the dynamic duo Bogey and Birdie, was the best dog. He was a world class champion snuggle buddy, bubble bath protector, best friend and brother to Birdie, and his mom's whole heart. Bogey came into Amanda's life on March 31, 2011 at just six weeks old, and enjoyed nearly 13 years of love, laughter, and puppuccinos, living a life of spoiled and adored dog luxury. He will always be remembered for the joy and love he brought to his mom's life, and to those who knew him. "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; all that we have loved deeply, becomes a part of us."

You are forever in my hearts. I miss you, your little tail wags and wet kisses so much. I’ll never forget you my little love. RIP in doggy heaven.

Cats were Connie's beloved companions. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2022, her beloved kitty Joya slept on her bed and provided great comfort. Joya was fiercely protective. I'm grateful Happy Tails took her back after Connie died in late September and recently found her a new human to guard!

Moose, thank you for going on the journey of life with me. I'll see you again, across the rainbow bridge. I love you. -Makenna

James Bond (because he always wore a tuxedo) came to us as a tiny 5 week old kitten and left us far too early at age ten due to an eye disease.  He was a handsome and well known visitor to nearby yards,  excelled at rodent control, but was a loving and gentle boy who enjoyed the creature comforts of indoor life.  We miss him, the last of many cats we’ve had over our 60 years together, every day even though he’s been gone two years.  We love you Jimmy!

In memory of Keira!

Happy 100th Birthday Betty, from all the fur babies of the world.

To my sweet girl! I miss you every day especially right now during winter when I would have you sleeping with me in the bed. You are missed but always thought of!

A sweet loving girl who brought so much joy.  I rescued her from Folsom Ford Agency with her 6 two day old kittens along with her sister, Karly and her 6 two day old kittens.  All the kittens were adopted through Happy Tails and the two sisters lived out their lives with me.

thanks for all you ever did for animals and people everywhere and the legacy you have left for your children and grandchildren to have as big hearts as you both.

Indie, I brought you home from Happy Tails in 2010 because we all thought you were dying. To all our surprise you made it 4 years before I had to say good bye. I hope you know how much you were loved and missed, rest in peace my gentle giant.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of my sweet father who went to heaven way too early. I know he's watching over our furry family members who've crossed the rainbow bridge. Kathy L

a fine cat with a world class purr. He will be missed.

Dear Nordi, your exuberant personality and happy spirit will be dearly missed by us all. 

Rest in Peace. 

In loving memory of this wonderful man who was taken from us way too early. You were the best dad anyone could've asked for. Love you always, Jaclyn

She came into my life a bit of a challenge.. Over the 3 years she became a loving purring happy cat. She is missed by all who knew and loved her.

so sweet to all living beings, human or animal, at the request of her mother and sister on their 70th/40th birthdays from Gerry and Patty

USGS Friends remember our very special friend, Naomi Nakagaki, who had a heart of gold and was truly an inspiration to all of us. Her hard work and dedication was exceptional but most of all she was, and is, a sweet angel to all. She fought for the protection of pets and the environment creating beautiful friendships along the way. She will forever be in our hearts.

My sister Emma was rad as hell. She acted in movies, made friends with Denny's employees and didn't care what anyone else thought. We lost her on June 4th, 2017 and it's been a tough road for all of us. Her real passion in life was helping animals both as her job and as a way of life. Today would've been her 30th birthday. We all love you and miss you Emma <3

love,

My little man who was loved by everyone and made a few converts out of those who thought they weren't cat-people.

Her Sweet and Kind nature was universal. She will be missed by all.

Vanessa Bailey. Your reach was wider than you knew. Safe travels sweet friend. xo KS

Rupert was a big bear of a man and the greatest friend anyone could have. Rupert and my late husband, Tom, spent many hours "holding court" at the Sizzler on Florin Road, eating their favorite wings and salads and solving all the world's problems. The self-proclaimed "Lord of Fish", Rupert loved fishing with all his buddies in Sitka, Alaska.  I am sure you are sitting on the banks of a beautiful river in Heaven with Tom, telling all your fish stories. Rest well my dear friend.

I'll always love you, my little daughter with fur. Rest in Peace. See you in the hereafter.

In loving memory of Tommy, 1998-2016, greatly loved by his parents. Your constant affection and enthusiasm for laps, beds, flowers, food and string are much missed.

In honor of the sweetest badass kitty of them all. 

This tribute is for my dad who loved animals. He told stories of him as a boy and the stray dogs he would raise as he was growing up and how much they meant to him. I remember one story in particular about his dog named King, a Greyhound mix. In 1941 when my dad was 11, his father was killed after being struck by a car. So to help provide income for the family (which included his dog) he got a job working in a butcher shop. Dad was able to save bones and scraps to take home to his starving dog. My dad proceeded to tell me that after King ate some of the scraps, he would pick up the leftovers and take off down the road to the nearby farms where King knew of other starving dogs and would distribute the remaining scraps among these dog friends he had in the neighborhood.

I always loved that story.

Rest in peace daddy.

In loving memory of two wonderful people...

Mom, you were my best friend and greatest inspiration. You loved your kitties (and mine) and provided a warm,safe and wonderful home for all of us throughout your life. I miss you every single day and at thistime of year, in particular. I see your smile in every colored light and hear your voice in every carol. Ilove you, Mom. (1938 - 2013)

God speed and happy contrails

Neck warmer, neck scratcher, best friend. 1995?-2018.

Spidey, our little territorial protector of home and hearth left a Spidey-size hole in our world. He was a tiny feral kitten who found us over 16 years ago and became the center of our household.   His name came from looking like a black fuzzy spider, but he did develop the characteristics of the comic book character.  He was also the best lap kitty and cuddle-kitty ever.   

Cancer took him.

DAVID AND HIS LOVE OF ANIMALS.

To a wonderful mother who always cared about the "little guys" as well as all animals.   She was the most caring woman I have ever known.

Our buddy Harold was a giant with a great purr who loved to lie in things made for babies.  Our family loved Harold dearly and are sad he had to go. We thank him for his love and hope there are lots of things for Harold to chase, soft beds to sleep in and dishes full of food wherever his spirit may land.    Mac, Jess, Quinn, and River Ryan

You will be missed, by la belle Popette most of all.  

You blessed our lives, your mama misses you every day, grandma and papa too.‚ù§ we miss your talking and cuddles, your sissy scout misses you around the house, but she is getting spoiled. Know your enjoying your afterlife, talking someone's ear off!!

To our much loved Snowshoe. You brought so much joy to so many. We miss you Suki.

Love your human parents, Chris and Candace

Rest in peace, my sweetheart.

The sweetest, most loving, and trusting Happy Tails cat, gone far too soon. A brave cancer warrior, who gave hugs and cuddles through it all. From the moment we met, she knew I was the one, and gave me a head bonk to show it was love. I will miss you forever, my perfect and precious girl. 

Many thanks to her vets, especially Dr. Koncz at Sac Animal Hospital and Dr. O'Brien and the oncology team at VCA referral center.

Almost 4 years since you were stolen from us.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or wish I could pick up the phone and hear your voice.  Dad is taking care of the puppies and they miss you lots.  So do we.  Keep singing and dancing until we can join you.  Love you Mom!  

my baby girl, Tay Tay. A feral kitten who became such a lovey and was a powerhouse of personality! I love you so much and will miss you forever. You were such a trooper, living with chronic pulmonary disease. 2008-2020. Rest easy baby, until we meet again.

~Love your mommy,
Vanessa.

Rest In Peace Mom. Love Dave

One handsome fellow, missed every day. 

We will miss you this year Dad. Especially our two rescue cats, Goku and Spunky. We love you Dad!

Merry Christmas!  -2020

For my beloved sister, Deane, who loved all animals with a passion and was studying to become a Vet Tech. May she rest in the gentle arms of the universe. Love, Leslie Korengold

Thank you Clipper for being my best friend for 7 years. After my accident I wasn't sure I could ever be happy again... but you showed me how to smile again!  You brought so much joy into my life and I miss you soooooo very much!!! I will always love you and I will see you again... I know this. Hugs and kisses.

In honor of my childhood best friend's late father, Steven Rascher - who loved dogs and had the family pets by his side. His big heart and kind demeanor will never be forgotten. May he rest peacefully ❤️ - Janette B.

our co-worker and our friend, Nancy Starkie. She was a kindhearted cardiac ICU and ED nurse. She truly cared about her patients. Nancy alwasy had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. We are lucky to have her in our lives. Nancy was always giving and the best way to remember her is by giving back. She loved dogs and wanted to support charities for rescue dogs. 

Rest in peace sweet Abby, our furry friends always leave us too soon. Marcus and Janelle were lucky to have her in their lives for 17 years. She will be missed. 

Love,

Jessica & Jon

Thx HT for rescuing my little weirdo and bringing us together 4 years ago. 

Penn brought Mavis many years of joy and happiness in their years together.  He was her "son" in many ways.  They are together now and forever.

In loving memory of a beautiful soul that had a fierce love for animals. You will always be missed and cherished my brother. 

Patricia Niendam (1950-2021) was a lover of all animals, big and small. All of her pets were rescued and she provided all the love, medicine, and support they needed. She passed this love of animals and nature to her daughter and two grandchildren. We were blessed to have her with us for 70 years and she left our world in a better place. Her final wish was for us to support rescues like Happy Tails so more loving animals can find loving homes.

In honor of Bernadette, Cameo's beloved friend of 21 years. Forever loved. 

our furball cuddlebug Charlie who was taken from us way too early due to cancer.  He was a peculiar kitty who had a gentle, yet noble soul.  We miss him dearly, he was a good friend.

In Honor of Zorro, the bravest boy. You are an amazing, loving soul. Mommie loves you forever. Thank you for being such a wonderful boy.

Fern Kulpreecha 

Thank you so much for saving the blind calico! 

Kahuna, a sweet and curious kitty whose adventure ended too soon. 

In loving memory of Mary Palley. She loved all her pets, especially the many cats she shared her home with over the years. . 

You were a great lady and we miss you.
