Hi!

I'm Hayes, and I love animals. I started Hayes's Happy Friends to make yummy, healthy treats for my dogs and cat. All my treats are made with organic ingredients and lots of love.

Our Mission:

At Hayes's Happy Friends, we believe every pet deserves to be happy and healthy. That's why we use only the best organic ingredients in our handmade treats. And, because we want to help other animals, a portion of each sale goes to the Durham Animal Protection Society where we adopted our amazing cat, Monkey!

My Caring Cause

A portion of each sale goes to the APS of Durham, where we rescued our cat, Monkey. I want to be able to help all the animals find homes and bring joy to others - just like our kitty does for us.
