Surrender a Pet

If you’re moving, try checking with a private owner regarding rental properties opposed to a management company. They are usually less stringent about pets and breed restrictions. Check out this informative article for tips and tricks to find pet friendly housing.

There are resources available to families struggling to cover the costs associated with recent inquiries or medical emergencies.

If you have or find an unexpected kitten litter, please contact your local veterinarian or NHS for advice. During kitten season (March - October), what appears to be an abandoned litter may actually be kittens with mom nearby. Learn more here.

Use social media to rehome your pet. Post on local and personal social media feeds and ask friends and family to share your post. Remember to be honest while using positive language.

For example, rather than say your dog is aggressive towards other animals, say your dog would do best in a home without other pets. Also, make sure to use clear, quality photos and/or video.

If your pet is purebred, call the breeder or breed-specific rescue to see if they can take your dog.

Offer to foster your pet while a rescue or shelter tries to find them a new home. Shelters are stressful on animals and the transition is easier if they can stay in a home environment.
