All our puppies and dogs have been well-socialized and handled a lot by their loving foster home caregivers. We cannot guarantee a fully housetrained puppy or dog.

All dogs being transported from the Hoosier Division are transported by Happy Dogs USA. All dogs coming from TN will be transported via a commercial transport company who is licensed.

Check website for more details about our group and our personalized adoption process. Our group strives to find the best home for each dog and we want each adopter to find the best dog for his or her family. Many Happy Dogs are waiting for their forever homes.

To adopt, you must first fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION to speak with an adoption counselor, who will go over any questions you may have and guide you through the adoption. Microchip implantation can be arranged directly with your adoption counselor. Additional charges apply.

About Happy Dogs of New England

We are a rescue group who helps dogs in the south to find homes in the New England area. Our group is made up of many caring volunteers. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER. All our animals are kept in foster homes. WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH HOMES for HAPPY DOGS.

Our goal is to save animals and find them great, loving homes. When we rescue an animal, we have certain vetting requirements that the pet must adhere to before getting adopted out. This includes spay or neuter, vaccinations, worming and treatment for parasites. Each dog is seen by a vet and travels with an interstate health certificate.

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.
