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 dog. 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.

If you need to rehome your dog, we ask that you email us the following information:

• 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

Please email photos and information to steph@happytailsdogrescue.org.

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. You and your family know who will be the best match for your pet.

Once you find a match, we recommend doing a 1 week in-home trial before finalizing the adoption. After the in-home trial ends, Happy Tails will email the adopting family an Adoption Agreement to sign which will finalize the adoption. Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
