Bark in the Park: In Memory of Tyler

Join Happily Furever After Rescue for our fifth annual Bark in the Park: In Memory of Tyler on Saturday, September 19th 2026 from 11am-4pm at Bennett Memorial Park (14 Shelter Rock Rd. in Bethel, CT). This special event is held yearly in honor of the founder’s dog, Tyler, and what would have been his 12th birthday this September.

Sadly Tyler lost his battle to cancer in December 2021. He is what inspired the foundation of Happily Furever After Rescue and there is no better way to celebrate his legacy and the impact Tyler made on the world than with a big rescue party in his honor!
