Adoption Application

If you’d prefer a printed version of this application, please click on the link to the downloadable PDF at the bottom of this page. Print, and scan a copy to info@happytailshappyhomes.org. . Selected applications require a meet-and-greet (and a possible home visit).

Upon approval, an adoption contract will be created/signed and donation accepted. For more information regarding the adoption application process please contact us at: info@happytailshappyhomes.org.

Adoption Fees

All adopted dogs will be microchipped, spayed/neutered ( if above 6 months old ), and receive age appropriate vaccination for DHPP and Rabies. Puppies receive three rounds of DHPP starting at 6 weeks old. Rabies will be given to dogs 16 weeks and older.

Adoption fees help Happy Tails Happy Homes cover cost of care and veterinary expenses. We are an entirely volunteer run organization, so every dollar goes to the animals.

0-12 months- $375.00

13 month- 9 years- $325.00

Seniors or Medical Dogs- $0-$180

Spay and Neuter Deposit

Our veterinarian recommendation is to neuter/spay dogs between 6 month-12 months old. For some larger breeds we postpone neuter/spay based on veterinary recommendation. All puppies and dogs who are not spayed/neutered at time of adoption will need to pay a $250.00 deposit. This deposit helps us guarantee responsible ownership of spaying and neutering to help stop the constant strain of unwanted animals in our community. Once the dog has been spayed/neutered at the appropriate age, proof of procedure from the veterinarian will need to be sent to info@happytailshappyhomes.org. A reimbursement will be sent out within 10 business days.
