honest profile of your pet including personality traits, training level, medical history,
and specific needs.

pet's appearance and personality.

Best practices for rehoming your pet:
- Be completely honest about your pet's personality, including any challenges
- Take time to thoroughly screen potential adopters
- Consider charging a modest adoption fee to ensure commitment
- Provide the new owner with your pet's familiar items, food, and detailed care instructions
- Arrange for a trial period when appropriate
- Stay in touch with the new owner initially to help with the transition
While we provide these tools, we also encourage exploring alternatives to rehoming when
possible, such as behavior training, pet-friendly housing options, or temporary fostering
during challenging times.
