Re-Home Your Pet
We understand re-homing a pet is never easy, but it’s often the kindest option—shelters are stressful for animals and should be a last resort. With effort, many guardians successfully find new homes on their own.
Here are some tips:
- Use Adopt-a-Pet.com: Click here to list your pet and find potential adopters.
- Reach out to friends/family: Start with people your pet knows—someone may be willing to adopt or foster.
- Tap into your networks: Share your pet’s info at work, in your neighborhood, or with community groups.
- Use social media: Post on your pages and local pet groups. Consider creating a page just for your pet!
- Post a classified ad: Online or printed publications like Craigslist are popular options to be viewed by the public.
- Contact Breed and Rescue Groups: Try contacting local breed and rescue groups, as they will often help with re-homing.
Be sure to screen all potential adopters carefully. Ask questions, request a home visit, and consider a small rehoming fee to ensure your pet goes to a safe, loving home.
