Great project, dog people’s hearts go up here 🐶 - A must if you are in Mauritius. Here great work is done and the dogs are allowed a good life, despite difficult conditions. It was a nice afternoon for us and hopefully also for the dogs who got a few strokes. You just have to support such projects, so donate 🐶❤️

An emotional visit to advise all animal lovers - Unique experience to recommend to all animal lovers. Very moving to meet these enthusiasts who take in and care for dogs often injured, abused and offer them beautiful living conditions and especially love. We were able to cuddle the dogs and gather information and anecdotes about their daily lives. A nice way to encourage and support this shelter.

Best day - The best day meeting all the dogs. You can tell the sanctuary care and are passionate about what they do. We met the most sweetest group of dogs, I cannot recommend this experience enough and would encourage everyone to visit.

Lovely dog shelter - I visited Happy Tails Sanctuary a few times already and I could not speak more highly of this rescue organization. Always a great experience and love what they do. It is a wonderful rescue shelter filled with caring and hardworking people who make an incredibly positive impact in the community. Nathalie the founder and her team are doing an amazing job to make each of their resident dogs feel at home, comfortable and as least stressed as possible. So impressed with the work they do. I love any place that has a love for animals and saving them. Thank you ❤️

Must do! - Great getaway! So much enjoyed this piece of dog paradise! Everything looks fine and the tour by Samantha was very pleasant! We got a lot of explanations about the operation and the dogs and a whole tour. All our questions were answered. You notice that she has a big heart for the dogs and does a lot for it! Recommended! You support the shelter and do yourself a great favor with it!

Highlight for dog lovers - We loved the tour with Samantha and meeting and cuddling with all the dogs. It was a highlight of our vacation. If you love dogs and want to support an organization, that helps the stray dogs of Mauritius, definetely visit Happy Tails.🐕❤️😊 And a little tip, if it has rained, don't wear your best clothes, cause you will leave with some paw prints on them.😄🐶

If you love dogs - show your support with a visit and make a few tails wag! - Having seen lots of stray dogs in Mauritius, it was a great pleasure and privilege to visit and meet people on the ground who are actually doing something about it. This was a very personal guided tour behind the scenes of a busy sanctuary and rehoming centre. Nathalie showed us around the sanctuary, we met loads of lovely dogs and we spoke about the many challenges. In addition to the sanctuary they also promote responsible ownership and the benefits of having dogs neutered. It was an interesting and relaxed conversation and thought provoking. We could have spent the day at a big tourist park paying to pose with subdued lions / cheetahs / dolphins - but for any true animal lover an afternoon spent with dogs who did seem to enjoy the ear rubs and back scratching is definitely preferable.

Highlight of my holiday! - This was by far the highlight of my entire trip!! So happy we heard about it. The experience from start to finish was amazing! You can really tell how much love the owners have for each and every dog that they rescue. We all left with the biggest smile on our faces and I can’t wait to hopefully adopt one of the dogs in the future. Thank you so much for such a special day!
