Happy Breed Dog Club, as it was then known, was first launched in 1952.  Its aim was to save stray dogs from being put to sleep after their time in police kennels.  In 1973 it was decided that the Mid Sussex Happy Breed Dog Rescue Society would be a more appropriate name and in 1974 it was accepted as a Registered Charity.

If you would like any further information about any aspect of the Society please call Carole on 01444 239005 or Linda on 01273 843897, or email carole@happybreed.co.uk or linda@happybreed.co.uk   Our postal address is M.S.H.B.D.R.S., PO Box 126, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, RH15 0SL.
