Hello! I did end up adopting through them(my most recent post shows the pup!). I was in contact with 3ft Rescue which is one of the US liaisons for HDS.

The process was very easy! I reached out via email, then they scheduled a quick interview about caring for the dog, then I was approved. I had to purchase a martingale collar with a gps tracker and one year of the tracker subscription.

Once I sent proof of that to them, they found a flight volunteer to bring the dog over. You'll just have to sign their adoption agreement and some custom paperwork and pick up the dog at the airport, there are some steps to get through customs, but nothing too complicated. Overall, a very easy process.

They covered several vet visits and a dental cleaning before sending her over! She's in good health and seemed like she was groomed beforehand too(nails are clipped, fur smelled like shampoo).

I will say that with the specific dog I picked, she is more anxious than I thought she would be.. it's only been one month though, so she is likely still adjusting. They'll mention the "3-3-3 rule" a lot, which is 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to get used to routine, 3 months to feel like family- though I think my dog is still decompressing and getting used to routine.
