Adoption Application. If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet Happy! This post has been refreshed as of 6/12/26. Hi! I'm happy's foster mom and I can say she is an absolute DREAM. She along with other foster dogs has been with me for several months. We took in Happy Valentines day this year (of course) as a 2mo 10lb pup and as of mid June she is now close to 30lbs. Likely will top in the 45-55 lb range. I like to think she is a tiger and some think she is a hygena (her brindle color) but she is just an angel in dog form. She LIKELY has a good percentage pitbull (her brother was adopted in April and his DNA test came back 40% pit and like 15 other breeds among poodle, america eskimo,shep, chi, etc) SO, if you do NOT want any pitbull genetics (actually, good luck with that) then this girl is NOT the pup for you and pleae look at other doggos up for adoption. If breed is of no concern to you and are just looking for an amazing dog to add to your family who is a spayed female, will be a nice medium size breed full grown, is awesome with dogs, cats, children, humans and a hipo reincarnated (she takes forever to walk out of her crate when she wakes up, and can nap hard as well as loves to play in bodies of water and especially mudd) . This girl is healthy and has the cutest weired hair chin/mustache around her nose/muzzle so likely a little poodle/terrier breed in her as well. She may not look pit but I am certain she has a good percentage in there. A terrier is a terrier. She is amazing at the dog park and both humans and dogs adore her, children seek her out and she seeks out kitties as friends too. She is crate trained and not a barky dog (for now) but she can have a mighty bark if something scares her. She rides well in the car, she doesn't really get car sick most of the times but there has been 1 or 2 times where she got dizzy and drooled most of it. Good on leash walks but can be a bit slowER than the other pups leading the walk, which is great for those who don't want to be overly pulled. She is also stuborn to go on car rides or leave the dog park. Like, happy, we need to get in the car to go to the dog park and happy we can't live at the dog park we goota GO....stuborn baby. Fun fact. Since she was a little pup when you say "puppy or happy" she runs full speed if you are sitting down and LEAPS into your lap, so you gotta be careful because she doesn't know she is no longer 10lbs ha ha! She also resembles lab behavior she loves to find a toy in carry in her mouth very gently waagging her tail like "look what i got!" super sweet girlie Not sure why she has waited 4mo to be adopted but lets hope its because an amazing FOREVER family will choose her soon and she is just waiting for that human(s) If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application.

If you're looking to adopt a dog and don't know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
