Who We Are
Happy Dog Adoption is dedicated to placing dogs that were scheduled to be euthanized into loving, permanent homes. All these dogs were discarded, neglected or abandoned by previous owners who no longer want or can keep them, or did not take the responsibilty of being a pet owner seriously. We get our dogs from Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch and Christ-Yoder Humane Society, and take in locally abandoned puppies. All the rescued dogs have been wormed, medically treated, have their Parvo/distemper, Bordetella & rabies shots, are spayed/neutered, on heartworm & flea prevention, and are ready for their second chance at love in their forever home. Check out more dogs available for adoption on www.utopiarescue.com !
Adopting a friend
We take adoption seriously, and so should you. To maintain a medium size dog costs around $50.00 a month for food, Heartguard and Frontline, more if there are any medical problems. Be sure that you are ready to take on a 15-20 year commitment to this dog, both financially and emotionally, as dogs can live up to 20 years!
We require that you have a fenced yard, that shots are kept current and heartworm & flea prevention given monthly, We ask for a minimum donation of $75.00 for any dog which covers shots, spay/neuter, and micro-chipping. You must agree that the dog be returned to HAPPY DOG ADOPTION if for any reason it does not work out with the new home. Adoption form available on request.
