The HTDR Process
Intake
Intake
Intake
Our dogs come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are from neglectful situations while others are from loving owners that can no longer care for them.
Foster
Intake
Intake
Our carefully selected foster homes cater to the needs of each dog, provide stability, safe housing and love for the dog to decompress and be coached where necessary.
Vet
Intake
Rehome
All veterinary needs are addressed on an individual basis. All dogs are dewormed, Heartworm tested, Microchipped, Vaccinated (Bordetella, Dhppv, Rabies), Spayed / Neutered and assured to have proper dental cleaning.
Rehome
Intake
Rehome
Only when the dog has fully recovered from vetting, behaviors and needs have been assessed properly and training addressed, is a dog listed for adoption.
JAX
Male, 8 years old, 22 lbs
Adoption fee: $325
Jax came to Happy Tails as an owner surrender.
He is good with dogs with proper introductions and good with kids, but he is not good with cats.
Jax is a bit timid at first but once he’s comfortable he is very sweet and snuggly
and really likes to be on the couch with you.
He is loyal and protective and loves to please his people. He listens very well!
He is house trained and does ok in the kennel but it's not his favorite place.
He prefers to sleep in bed with his humans.
Jax likes to play with other dogs and with toys. He's leashed trained and likes to go for walks but can be reactive to other dogs while on leash so will need someone will to work with him on that.
He gets a little nervous in the car.
The best home for Jax is with someone home more often than not. He would be ok as an only dog or with another dog. He will bark when left alone, so no homes with shared walls or apartments.
APPLICATIONS CLOSED - ROMIE
Female, 4.5 years old, 14 lbs
Adoption fee: $550
Romie is a gentle, affectionate dachshund mix who was surrendered by her previous owner and is ready to find her perfect forever home where she can feel safe and cherished.
She’s good with dogs, kids, and cats, and is house trained on a schedule. Romie is leash trained, kennel trained, and uses a doggie door. While she’s shy and timid at first, she warms up fairly quickly and becomes a total lap dog and shadow dog. She’s more comfortable around women than men and took a little time to adjust to the larger dogs in her foster home, but she did settle in. She loves being close to her people, giving sweet kisses whenever she gets the chance.
Romie enjoys toys and loves to play fetch. She’s more of a people dog, but she does seem to enjoy the company of other dogs—especially smaller ones. She enjoys walks, though she may bark at others while out and about. At night, she insists on sleeping in bed with her person.
Romie would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, ideally with another small, friendly dog. She’s looking for someone to spoil her and love on her—a true companion dog through and through.
APPLICATIONS CLOSED - BELLA
Female, 4.5 years old, 15 lbs
Adoption fee: $550
Bella is a sweet and easygoing dachshund who’s ready to find her forever home. Bella was surrendered by her previous owner and has shown herself to be a loving, loyal companion who just wants to be near her people.
She’s great with dogs, kids, and cats, making her a wonderful fit for a variety of households. Bella is house trained, kennel trained, leash trained, and even knows how to use a doggie door. She eats in her kennel.
Bella is friendly and affectionate, though she may bark at new people at first—she settles quickly and becomes a total lap dog and shadow dog. She’s not interested in toys, but she loves walks, exploring outside, and rolling over for belly rubs. She gets excited when you come home and is happiest just being with you.
She would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Bella can thrive with or without another dog and would be a perfect match for someone looking for a calm, devoted companion.
