In a perfect world, companion animals would spend their entire lives in one home. In reality, pets must sometimes find new homes, and the reasons why can be complicated.
There may be unforeseen circumstances that make it seem impossible for pets to stay with their owners, but San Diego Humane Society provides animal owners help to resolve issues in many areas, from behavior problems to financial and medical challenges.
However, once someone has exhausted all options and still decides the best choice is to give a pet a second chance by placing them in another home, there’s an option that allows for a more personal approach.
Finding a new home directly—not bringing an animal to a shelter—is the ideal transition. Through a partnership with Rehome, a service powered by Adopt-a-Pet.com, SDHS helps pet owners with guidance and advice on the process of finding a great new home, from creating a pet profile and adoption poster to choosing the right adopter and finalizing an adoption.
Rehome’s tool kit includes tips to help pair a pet with the right adopter. One great tip is to write a short biography of the animal’s history, the reason for rehoming, and information on her personality and favorite activities. The kit also comes with a flyer template for easy posting.
Relinquishing an animal can be tough, but it can also be a positive experience and mean a gift of unconditional love to a new family.

Don’t forget the San Diego Pet Rehoming Network. They help find good homes for preloved pets, and they take it many steps further by carefully screening applicants and providing a year of follow up to ensure the pet’s welfare and owners peice of mind. They are https://pet-net.net
