Downtown Square - Center, TX
Our first big fundraising event on May 13th called Bark-A-Rama was a complete success!! This fun filled day included a Wag n’ Walk, Paws for a Cause paintings by dogs, kids face painting, photo opportunities, cool refreshments from Lou Lou's Shaved Ice and other activities for the whole family. We want to thank all the good folks of Shelby County who came out to show support for this much needed community service for our local furry friends.

About Us
Mike & Stephanie Elswick
Stephanie and Mike Elswick are among founding board members of Happy Tails Adoption Center Animal Shelter of Shelby County. They wanted to give back to their community in a meaningful way and looked for unmet needs. The lack of an animal shelter/animal adoption center kept coming to the top of the list. This resulted in their involvement with Happy Tails.
