Happy Tails Rescue of New England is a non-profit organization committed to rescueing abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs and puppies in the South. We are focused on education about the importance of spaying and neutering and responsible pet ownership. Our rescue exists because of the extreme need for a dog rescue in the South and we are hopeful that the need will deminish in the future and the suffering of innocent animals will end.

The adoption process includes an application, phone interview, vet/reference check, home visit or pictures taken of home, adoption fee to be paid via paypal, and transport arranged by the rescue. The transport fee is included in the adoption fee. All dogs have been spayed or neutered and have received at least 2 sets of puppy shots, bordatella vaccine, and rabies vaccine (if old enough) prior to transport. The application and contract are in one document stating specifics about how the animal will be cared for including vet requirements and living environment requirements.
