Pet Rehoming Resources
1. Make sure your pet is fixed (spayed/neutered).
Altered pets are chosen much faster by adopters. Our low-cost clinic is booked until November/December, but if you can get them fixed sooner through another clinic or vet, it will help tremendously.2. Make sure your pet is vaccinated.Adopters want to know they are bringing home a healthy pet. We host vaccine clinics the first weekend of every month, and places like Tractor Supply and PetSmart also hold low-cost vaccine clinics regularly.3. Create a rehome profile.Go to Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet (https://rehome.adoptapet.com/). It’s the same site we use for many of our dogs. Our organization has a code that makes posting nearly free. They charge a small fee to keep the site safe and prevent scams.
4. Post on local rehoming pages on Facebook.Use the rehoming fee to cover the costs of spay/neuter & vaccines to ensure going to a good home.5. Build the best profile possible.Your pet will be in competition with many others. The pets that get adopted first are the ones with:
- Clear, eye-catching photos (on the couch, snuggling, on walks, in a kennel, etc.)
- A profile picture that shows the face/eyes
- A detailed description highlighting their personality, quirks, and what kind of home would be best
- Most important details to include: potty trained? Crate trained? Dog friendly? Cat friendly? Kid friendly?
