Pet Supermarket is known for helping to find homes for dogs through various adoption events, but they do not take dogs from owners. They work with local rescues to help them connect with potential adopters and hold several dog adoption events at their stores each year.
If you’ve exhausted all your options and feel you have no choice but to rehome your dog, there are a few ways to go about it:
Shelters, such as humane societies and local chapters of the SPCA usually allow owner surrenders for a fee. While many shelters are moving towards no-kill status, others must euthanize healthy, adoptable animals for space. That’s why is a must that you do some research about the shelter before surrendering your pet.
Rescues are often an ideal option because they are able to care for the dog for as long as it takes to find them a perfect home. The problem with rescues is that they usually have limited space, so it can be difficult to find one with room for your dog. If you can be patient and wait until a spot opens up, this is a good choice.
If you want to know your dog will go to a home you approve of, consider DIY rehoming. Sure, it will take some time to find the right home, but the peace of mind you’ll have will be very much worth the effort.
Rehome helps pet owners by providing a platform to connect potential adopters with those looking for a home for their pet. You’ll find a host of resources, the ability to create a pet profile, and much more.
Remember, if you can’t keep your dog, they deserve the best chance at a new, loving home.
