Happy Endings Animal Rescue Team's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our Adoption Process is comprised of the following:

Fill out an adoption application with a summary of why your interested in adopting one of our animals and who. Once your application has been reviewed and references have been called, we would schedule a home visit and meet and greet also if you have any other pets, everyone would have to meet as well.
We have a 2 week foster to adopt program to make sure it is the best suitable forever home. Once the two week program is up, we would finalize the adoption.
Our adoption fees for cats range between:
$60-$75.00
Our adoption fees for dogs range between:
$135.00-$350.00
Please understand, some of our animals require a lot more medical care, larger amounts of food etc. All adoption fees are tax deductible and used to help save another animal from a kill shelter and be provided food, shelter and quality medical care. Most of our animals have already been spayed/neutered, microchiped, completely up to date on all vaccines: Dapp/Lepto, Bordetella, Lyme, hw test and prevention and fecal checks are done to ensure they are clear of intestinal parasites. In some case, we have animals that have been rehabilitated and have worked with behaviorists to help build confidence. Others have required emergency surgery for hips, eyes and more.

Happy Endings Animal Rescue Team's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Colonial Heights, VA.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
