Diego's Story

Meet Diego! This little dude is about 7 months old and just 9 pounds. Diego is doing great with house training, using both potty pads and going outside like a champ. Diego loves other dogs and would do best in a quiet, calm household, ideally with another dog friend to help him feel confident and settled. He can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up and builds trust, he turns into a total lovebug who just wants to be close to his people. He’s definitely a lap dog at heart and thrives on gentle affection. Diego would be a wonderful match for a someone looking for a small, gentle, cuddly pup who enjoys a peaceful environment and canine companionship. Adoption includes his neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations. Apply to adopt Diego here: https://www.hearforadoption.com/adopt

Happily Ever After Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

IMPORTANT: Submitting a Petfinder inquiry does not constitute an adoption application. To be considered for adoption, you must complete our official application and go through the approval process. We ensure that every dog is placed in a safe, loving, and suitable home by conducting a thorough adoption process. 1. Application Submission: - Prospective adopters complete and submit an adoption application form, providing detailed information about themselves, their home, and their experience with pets. 2. References: - We require three references from each applicant. These references should ideally include at least one non-family member who can vouch for the applicant's ability to care for a pet. - Our team contacts each reference to discuss the applicant's suitability as a pet owner. 3. Veterinary Check: - We conduct a veterinary check to ensure that any current or past pets of the applicant have been well cared for, including up-to-date vaccinations and regular health checks. - This helps us assess the applicant's commitment to responsible pet ownership. 4. Home Visit: - A home visit is scheduled to evaluate the living conditions and environment where the dog will be placed. - Our team checks for safety, space, and suitability, ensuring that the home is pet-friendly and conducive to the dog's well-being. 5. Family Interview: - We conduct a family interview to get to know the prospective adopters better. - This interview helps us understand their lifestyle, expectations, and readiness to integrate a new dog into their family. - All household members are encouraged to participate to ensure everyone is on board with the adoption. 6. Approval and Matching: - Once all steps are successfully completed and the applicant is approved, we work to match them with a dog that fits their lifestyle and preferences. - We consider the dog's temperament, needs, and compatibility with the adopter's home environment. 7. Adoption Finalization: - Approved adopters sign an adoption agreement outlining the responsibilities and commitments involved in adopting the dog. - Adoption fees are collected, and the dog is officially placed with the new family. 8. Post-Adoption Support: - We provide ongoing support and resources to help the adopters transition and care for their new pet. - Follow-up checks are conducted to ensure the dog's well-being and to address any concerns or issues that may arise. By following this rigorous adoption process, we strive to ensure that each dog is placed in a loving and responsible home, leading to successful and happy adoptions.
