Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary Inc.
Our Mission
Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes criminally abused, neglected and abandoned farm animals.
Rescue – working in cooperation with law enforcement and county humane organizations we provide our service to Ohio and any state beyond requesting assistance.
Rehabilitation – providing the veterinary attention, nutrition, and maintenance care and nurture to each animal who enters the sanctuary.
Re-home – networking to find loving and forever homes for each animal based on the best match of people, personalities and facilities.
Happy Trails does NOT accept owner surrenders. However, the organization provides guidance and networking in an effort to be a support for the community under these circumstances.
Adoption Policy
Step 1 Review all adoption protocol and FAQs HTFAS receives many questions on a daily basis. Reviewing all supplied information can often answer your questions and speed up your adoption process.
Step 2 Complete and submit an adoption application. This tells us about your experience, your references, your veterinarian information and about your facility, shelter and pasture area, etc. Don’t have a farrier or veterinarian? We can help!
Step 3 Schedule a home visit. Our HTFAS placement coordinator will visit your facility via video, photos or in person to meet you and view the home to give guidance for appropriate shelter, fencing and safe exercise/turnout area.
Home visits and photos requested are in the spirit of assisting an adopter to provide the best chance for a worry-free adoption. This is not a pass or fail, rather a partnership for success!
Step 4 Choose your companion. When your home visit is complete, our staff will set up a time for you to visit the sanctuary to help you select an animal suited for your wants, needs and facility.
Step 5 Complete the adoption! Arrangements will be made for you to take your adopted pet home. The adoption fee is submitted at this time and an animal adoption contract is reviewed and signed together with the an HTFAS representative.
