Rehome responsibly
Need to rehome your pet?
It is a hard decision. Here are your options, in the order we suggest trying them.
1. Check whether the problem can be solved
Behaviour problems, allergies, a new baby or a landlord saying no can often be worked through. Talk to your vet, a qualified behaviourist or your landlord first. Find a behaviourist
2. Contact the breeder or rescue you got them from
Good breeders and most rescues will take an animal back, and many ask you to in the adoption contract.
3. Ask a verified rescue to help
A rescue can assess your pet, find a carefully matched home and stay in touch after. Some have waiting lists, so ask early.
4. Post a free rehoming advert
Rehoming adverts are always free. Be honest about health and behaviour, choose Unknown when you are not sure, and meet adopters at your home. Ask for a small rehoming fee or a home visit to put off people who are not serious.
