Rehoming Process

Happy Tails helps individuals and families rehome their beloved dog when personal challenges arise that make it necessary to find a better living situation for your pet. This is often a very heartbreaking decision, and Happy Tails provides assistance in helping you find the best home for your dog so that they don't end up in a shelter.

To engage our services and network in rehoming your dog, we require a $50.00 rehoming fee be paid in advance of our engagement.

To move forward with rehoming your dog, please process your rehoming fee online via PayPal. To process fee, go to our Donate page and click on the "donate" button to be redirected to PayPal. Once your payment is made, please email us the following information to adopt@happytailsdogrescue.org, and we will begin marketing your dog:

• 4 good photos of your dog (include a face photo)
• Name of dog
• Gender
• Breed
• Age
• Weight
• Good with dogs/cats/kids?
• Spayed or neutered?
• Micro-chipped?
• Housetrained?
• Current on shots?
• Temperament
• State of health
• Your phone number and email
• Where are you located?
• Reason for rehoming
  

Next Steps

Once we receive your information, we will create an online profile of your dog that will appear on Adopt-a-pet, our website, and Facebook. We will begin marketing your dog right away and will direct all incoming inquiries to you. We leave the interview process and decision up to you, as you and your family know who will be the best match for your pet. Once you find a potential match, we recommend you have the potential adopter do a 1 week in-home trial before making your final adoption decision. Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
