Additional adoption info

Our process is not too detailed but we want to make sure the furbaby will be taken care of. We are not a first come, first served rescue, however, we also will not require the adopter to jump through tons of hoops to adopt either.

About Happy Tails Animal Sanctuary

Happy Tails Animal Sanctuary aims to be the forever home for animals we take in. However, due to the volume of homeless pets, we do operate on a rescue basis as well. We pull from kill shelters, have the pet altered and evaluated and try to place the pet in a forever home. If the sanctuary is the best fit for the pet, then it will stay here. However, not all animals do well in a multianimal household.

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.
