Adoption Application

Our Happy Dogs are in southern foster homes and will come to Northeast when they are adopted. Therefore, all our adoptions are long-distance and sight-unseen. That's why we carefully screen the dogs and the applicants to insure a good match and a successful adoption. You will receive extensive information about your dog, including a comprehensive phone conference with your Adoption Coordinator and the Happy Dog’s foster mom. However, we realize long distance adoptions are not for everyone and encourage you to look locally for a dog if you’re uncomfortable with our process.
