Pet Rehoming Guide.pdf

Rehome.adoptapet.com allows users to create a profile for their pet, review applications, and meet potential adopters. To list a pet, users go to the website, create a profile, and include a positive description and quality pictures. Rehome encourages users to meet potential adopters in Petco stores and allows for an adoption fee. When writing a profile, users should remain positive and focus on the pet's personality, rather than negative traits.

Other resources for rehoming pets include PetFinder, Rescue Me, and the SOS Pets, Hampton Roads, VA Facebook Group. Users can post descriptions, photos, and contact information to find a new home for their pet. It's recommended to be descriptive, tell a story, and include recent photos.

Additionally, users can ask for a rehoming fee to cover costs such as spaying/neutering and vaccinations. Keeping pets out of shelters is beneficial, and a healthy pet is easier to rehome. Users can also ask family, friends, and coworkers for help, create flyers, and post on social media to find a new home for their pet.

Low-cost spay/neuter services are available through organizations such as No More Chasin' Tails, Norfolk SPCA, VA Beach SPCA, Chesapeake Humane Society, and Suffolk Humane Society. Some organizations, like Spay Hampton Roads, offer free vaccines and spay/neuter services for pets in certain neighborhoods.
