Rehoming resources
If you're considering rehoming your pet, we recognize how difficult this decision can be, and we're here to support you through the process.
Are you struggling to cover your pet’s medical expenses or supplies? We can help!
Do you need in-patient treatment and can’t take care of your pet for only a short while? They may be able to stay here!
Are you having trouble finding a place to live with your pet? We have a list of options!
Does your pet have unwanted behaviors that concern you? We have trainer referrals!
If circumstances still require you to find a new home, please understand we offer a unique service where the need is overwhelming. We offer care at our free on-site veterinary clinic for adopters and promise to always take the pet back into our care when a placement is not a good match. For this reason, we require a $2,000 rehoming fee for all pets in our program with clear self-rehoming goals that can reduce this fee or lead to a finding a match!
Self-Rehoming
Our goal is to first empower you to rehome your pet directly with a new family. This approach helps prevent your pet from experiencing stress or mental decline in a shelter environment, as well as reduces the risk of disease. Since you know your pet better than anyone, a direct transfer of ownership ensures they find the best possible home.
Here are some ideas of how to market your pet for adoption and you can subtract these amounts from the $2,000 rehoming fee as an effort is made to rehome your pet:
- $100/post every 30 days on personal or rehoming social media pages
- $100/post every 30 days on Nextdoor or equivalent forum
- $100 post flyers in 5 businesses
- $200 if the pet is spayed/neutered
- $100 if rabies, DHPP, and bordatella vaccines are current
- $250 pursue training for 30 days (we recommend GoodPup)
- $250/month of Courtesy Listing on Adopt A Pet
Courtesy Listing
We invite you to have your senior listed for adoption on our platform using Rehome by Adopt A Pet, one of the most widely used rehoming websites in the US. Your pet will also be listed on our website on our Courtesy Listings page for our senior-loving audience to see! You will be asked to pay Rehome a small listing fee (between $5 and $50 based on the type and age of your pet). Use this referral coupon code that takes 90% off the listing fee: FFF94074
Rehoming with FFF
If you have exhausted the options above, have a safety concern for you or your pet, or an urgent need to rehome, please fill out this Rehoming Questionnaire.
We will contact you to make an appointment to surrender your pet which helps us plan ahead. There are circumstances where we may not have space, or a pet is not a candidate for adoption. Our veterinarians may determine your pet is suffering and there is not a treatable way to restore quality of life. Furthermore, we cannot place animals with aggression issues that are dangerous to other members of the community. We love animals and are here to help. If you have additional questions or would like to speak with an adoption counselor, please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org.
