Championing The Animals Who Need Us Most

Happy Animal Project (HAPI) champions senior and special needs animals in shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, and homes through storytelling, education, and compassionate programs.

Every animal deserves a champion. Skywalker taught us that.

Skywalker came into our lives at just two weeks old and stayed for more than 17 years. As he grew older, I discovered firsthand what it means to love and care for a senior animal - the extra appointments, the harder days, and the profound joy of being chosen by a being who has lived a full life. He showed me how often animals like him are overlooked, and how much they still have to give. His journey became the heart of Happy Animal Project - championing senior and special needs animals through filmmaking, education, and compassionate programs, so that every vulnerable animal receives the care, comfort, and dignity they deserve. Skywalker passed knowing he was loved. This is his legacy.

Through documentary storytelling we capture the transformatice bond between animals and the people who rescue, adopt and champion them. From sanctuaries, shelters, and rescues to the quiet moments of grief and healing - our films bear witness to the animals and humans whose lives are forever changed by each other.

Inspired by the comfort Skywalker found in his final years, this program delivers warmth and love to senior and special needs animals still waiting for their forever homes. Whether you're a shelter, a rescue, or someone who has loved and lost a senior animal - there's a place for you in this movement.
