Adoption process

Here is the adoption process for Columbus, Ohio, area adopters: First you complete an application to adopt. Second you come to the foster home to see the dog and decide whether or not you want to try him or her out. If you do, you take the dog home for a trial period. During this trial period, we check your references. Then we call you during the trial to see if the dog has worked out and you are ready to finalize the adoption. If the dog works out and you want to finalize the adoption, we schedule a home visit, bring the contract and copies of the vet records and finalize the adoption. If the dog does not work out, you just return him or her to the foster home where you got the dog. Here is our adoption policy for out-of-town adopters: First, you complete an application to adopt. Second we check your references. Third, you come to see the dog and decide whether or not you want to try him or her out. Fourth, you meet the dog, sign the Adoption Contract, get copies of the dog's vet records and pay the adoption fee. The fee may be paid with a check payable to Happy Tails. Fifth, you take the dog home with you. If the dog works out, the adoption automatically finalizes at the end of the 7 days. If the dog does not work out, you just return him or her within the 7 days and receive a refund.
