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 4 photos of your dog along with the following information:

• Name of dog?
• Breed?
• Age?
• Weight?
• Good with dogs/cats/kids?
• Spayed/neutered?
• Micro-chipped?
• Housetrained?
• Current on shots?
• Temperament?
• State of health?
• Your phone number and email?
• 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 on Adopt-a-pet and begin marketing him/her. We will direct all incoming inquiries to you and leave the decision up to you as to whom you feel is 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 trial ends, Happy Tails will email the adopting family an Adoption Agreement to sign, finalizing the adoption. Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
