Rehoming your pet
Animal shelters are an unfamiliar and scary place for a pet, and you can help your pet find a new home without ever bringing them to the shelter! Rehoming on your own causes less stress for your pets, lets you identify the perfect new family for them, and ensures they don't spend many weeks living in the shelter.

Prepare photos and a biography.
When preparing your pet to be adopted by a new family, take several good photos that show off your pet's best qualities. Then, create a written biography that emphasizes the best things about your pet.
