Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Although the organization itself is fairly new, the individuals who make up the group have been watching over the animals in the county for many years. In the last eleven years over 8,200 dogs/puppies, cats/ kittens have been saved from the shelter; received from owners in the community wishing to relinquish animals; and saved as strays from the roads, dumpsters, and woods of Washington County. The euthanasia rate for dogs at the local shelter has dropped from 85% to 15% and for cats 97% to 65% because of the rescue work being done by Happy Tails members. This rescue effort entails many hours of hard work including extensive time at the shelter and working with community owners who wish to relinquish their animals, foster care which involves daily care, sick care, vet care; hundreds of miles of weekly transport of animals to outreach rescue groups; weekends manning adoption events at the local PetSmart and various other locations and hours on the phone talking with individuals wanting assistance with their animals in some way. As volunteers our time and effort is given free. The rest of what we do requires funds.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
