Responsible Rehoming Resources
How to Rehome Responsibly
-
There are many rehoming groups on Facebook based on location or breed for safe rehoming. These pages are moderated and can get you great success in finding a home, especially if you’re having a difficult time. You may also want to join and post on your local Nextdoor app!

We have a major overpopulation CRISIS in DFW! Giving away an unfixed dog can lead to unwanted, accidental, or unethical breeding. This leads to more unwanted and euthanized dogs in our shelters. This can also ensure your pet does not suffer from infections like Pyometra in the future or get used for breeding. Affordable spay and neuter resources are located under our Public Resources section. Alternatively, we recommend requiring a signed contract between both parties requiring it to be done.

We recommend a $50-$300 rehoming fee to ensure the pet does not end up in the wrong hands. A wonderful idea is to require a fee to be donated to your local animal rescue.

One example is listed below. This safely lines out an agreement between both parties to avoid any misunderstandings.
