Adoption Application

The adoption fee for the AKC puppy is $2250 with proceeds going to Artie's Fund. The fee includes vetting and transportation costs. Our Happy Dogs are in southern foster homes and will come to New England 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.
