We don't like seeing pets leave their forever home but in the unfortunate circumstance that you must say goodbye to your pet here are a few options to look into.
Make your first call to the breeder, rescue, or person you originally got your pet from. Responsible breeders may assist you in finding a new home, or take the pet back to rehome themselves. Many rescues also state in their contracts that the pet can be returned to them, no matter how much time has passed.
Shelters and rescue groups often have waiting lists of people needing help to rehome their pet, so don’t expect immediate action. If you are able, offer to keep the pet at your home while the rescue group helps you find a new home. Be sure to find out the following information before surrendering your pet:
Ask what happens to your pet if they are not rehomed.
Ask if your pet will be housed in a kennel or in foster care. If your pet suffers with anxiety, it would probably be best suited to a foster care environment.
If your pet has behavioural problems, ask what measures the rescue group/shelter will take to address the problems and find a suitable home.
Ask about the care of the pet - how often will he be fed and walked.
Some of the best homes are with people who already know and like your pet. Friends and family may be willing to offer your pet a new forever or temporary home, so ask around your immediate circle and share your pet’s profile via social media.
