Pet Rescue and Adoption

By: Bridget Monrad, R.N. | Jul 21, 2014


Adopting a pet long distance from a shelter, humane society, special breed rescue group, or even finding a homeless dog to rescue on vacation can bring joy to you and your new companion!

There are countless dogs & cats who would love a forever home. In today’s internet age, finding a pet to fall in love with is easier than ever. Finding them, that is!

Getting them from the shelter presents a challenge for many people. There are many moving pieces involved with rescuing a pet that often does not have the time or resources to facilitate this adoption process easily.

Happy Tails Travel has assisted with many long distance adoptions. With this option, the adopter does not need to take time off of work and travel to get their new four footed family member.

What is involved with Long Distance Pet Adoption?

  • A tight time frame
  • Coordination with the shelter for payment and release
  • Arranging veterinary services
  • Obtaining the proper size & brand of crate, including the bowls & bedding
  • Research & reservation of the pet flight
  • Preparing pet for the day of the flight
  • Transporting & checking the pet to the airport

Coordinating the logistics of a smooth move is something we enjoy, especially for these pets. We love having pets have a ‘New Leash on Life!’  It is a Win-Win opportunity to save a life. One of our favorite suggestions is “Best Bet Adopt a Pound Pet; Better Yet, Adopt Two!”
