This free online service allows you to create a pet profile, screen potential adopters, and manage the rehoming process. It also includes tools to guide you through best practices.

Best Practices to Screen Buyers

Vet Reference Check

Ask potential adopters which vet they use. Call the clinic to confirm the adopter has an established history of routine care.

Red flag: Refusal to provide vet info or a lack of history with vet care.

Rehoming Fee

Always charge a modest rehoming fee ($25-$100) to deter flippers, abusers, and dog fighters who often seek free pets.

This fee helps screen for financial stability and commitment to the pet's needs.

Home Check

Personally deliver the pet to the adopter's home or conduct a video walkthrough to ensure it's safe and suitable.

Avoid parking lot meet-ups or letting someone "just pick up" the pet

Complete the form to start the surrender process

Everyday we have a large influx of rehome requests and without adequate foster homes, we cannot take your dog into our care. We do our best to balance shelter transfers, medical surrenders, and strays. Unfortunately, we do not have foster homes for dogs that need to be an only pet.
