Happy Hubz Inc, founded in 2013, is a registered 501C3 nonprofit organization (EIN: 46-2930670) dedicated to improving both pet and community health while helping other registered nonprofit organizations raise funds.
Our Board of Directors is dedicated to: 1)assisting gold star families cover the costs of veterinary care 2) helping registered nonprofit organizations raise funds through online veterinary product sales 3) supporting the human animal bond through community veterinary wellness clinics and pet rescue/placement.
In 2013, our founder, Dr. Chappell, partnered with Midwest Veterinary Supply, a veterinary product supplier, to open an online store though which pet owners could purchase their pet products to help raise funds for nonprofit organizations. His father, who passed in 20123, owned a company called Happy Hubs and so he adopted the name in honor of his father’s memory. Ironically, the name serves the purpose of the business well as we are a hub between pet care and community fund raising. Retiring from the military in 2026 and having served as a casualty assistance officer, he expanded the mission to help fund the veterinary care costs for Gold Star Families.
Our online store provides many of the same pet products you find in neighborhood stores. Products are priced similar to what pet owners normally pay in order to leverage the money the animal owner spends on their pet as a way to help fund the pet owners selected nonprofit organization. The money that is used for nonprofit activities, both to support our missions and to provide to other nonprofit organizations to support theirs, are the funds considered “profits” by for profit companies. By leveraging the money remaining after all costs of goods are accounted for, the remaining funds are considered a donation and used to support ours and other nonprofit missions.
