Be Honest About Your Pet
Honesty is one of the most important parts of responsible rehoming. Being upfront about your pet’s personality, medical needs, fears, training level, and behavior helps prevent failed placements and future stress for the animal.
Sharing both the positives and the challenges allows adopters to make informed decisions.
Take Quality Photos
Clear, bright photos help pets stand out and allow potential adopters to better connect with them.
Tips:
- Use natural lighting when possible
- Include photos that show your pet’s personality
- Avoid blurry or heavily filtered images
- Include full body photos
Help Your Pet Transition Successfully
A new home can be a big adjustment.
Consider sending your pet with:
- Their current food
- Favorite toys or bedding
- Medical records
- Feeding schedules and routines
- Information about commands, likes/dislikes, and habits
Familiar items and routines can help reduce stress during the transition.
