How Can I Find and Attend Events at Happy Hills Animal Foundation?
Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc. (HHAF) in Staley, North Carolina, lists its events through the News & Events section of its website (hhaf.org). To find upcoming events, start there, then subscribe to the newsletter or call 336-622-3620 for details. This guide applies if you want to attend, volunteer at, or sponsor HHAF activities; it does not cover the separate county shelter in Randolph County.
Where to Find Event Information
The site's navigation includes a News & Events page, which is the primary place HHAF posts event announcements. The homepage also links to a Newsletter signup, so subscribing is the most reliable way to receive updates without checking the site manually.

Types of Events and Programs
Based on the site's own navigation and content, HHAF's activities and programs include:
- Adoption events — tied to the Cats For Adoption and Dogs For Adoption pages, where animals in HHAF's care are matched with homes.
- Community outreach — listed as a top-level menu item, covering HHAF's public education work.
- Clinics — also a top-level menu item, referring to the organization's veterinary or service clinic activities.
- Volunteer opportunities — the site has a Volunteers page and a "Volunteer Today" call to action.
- Sponsorship — a Sponsorship Form is available for those who want to fund or support events and programs.
- Boarding and grooming — offered on-site with "44 Years Experience," which may be relevant if you're visiting for another event.
The foundation also promotes humane education and special programs, and works to reduce pet overpopulation in the area, so some events may center on spay/neuter or education rather than adoption alone.
How to Attend or Take Part
- Check the News & Events page for a current listing. If nothing is posted, the newsletter or a phone call will confirm what's scheduled.
- Subscribe to the newsletter so event announcements reach you directly.
- Call 336-622-3620 or use the contact form to ask about a specific event's date, location, and whether registration is needed. The site does not publish a public event calendar with times, so confirming by phone is the practical step.
- For volunteering, go to the Volunteers page and follow the instructions there; the site explicitly invites you to "Volunteer Today."
- For sponsorship, download or request the Sponsorship Form to support an event or program financially.
What to Know Before You Go
- HHAF is one of only two state-licensed shelter facilities in Randolph County, North Carolina; the other is county-operated. Events are run by the nonprofit, not the county.
- The foundation receives no government funding and relies on private donors, sponsors, and volunteers — so sponsorship and volunteer participation directly support its events.
- Donations are accepted via PayPal through the "Click on Photo to Donate" links on the site.
- Financial information and the organization's Charitable Solicitation License are available from the NC State Solicitation Licensing Branch at 919-814-5400 / 888-830-4989, which is useful if you want to verify the organization before sponsoring an event.
If you need a definite answer on whether a specific event is happening, the phone line (336-622-3620) or the contact form is the most direct route, since the website's event information is updated through News & Events and the newsletter rather than a fixed public calendar.
