About Us
Happy Paws Productions was founded on the love we have for our own dogs, and the need to raise awareness of the crisis dogs just like ours face every day. The pet population is at an all time high and if we don't get the word out there, thousands of dogs will continue to be abused, neglected and euthanized every day.

Founder
Happy Paws Productions was founded by Lana Novotny of Asheville. Novotny has worked as a photojournalist and pianist for over 14 years.

"Happy Paws the Movie"
Currently we are in production on "Happy Paws the Movie." In cooperation with local non-profit rescue & adoption organizations, this full-length documentary will showcase the various aspects and benefits of animal rescue and adoption.

Our mission is to give these animals a voice, show the real connection between animals & people, and educate the public on how they can help ease the suffering of these pawed wonders.
