Things aren’t working out at home?

We know that choosing to rehome your pet is an incredibly difficult and emotional decision. As their guardian, you know your pet best and are in the best position to help them find a new, loving home. Our rehoming program is here to provide guidance, resources, and support to help make that transition as smooth as possible for both you and your pet while you work to find them a new family.

Rehoming Tips

The following are some rehoming tips to consider prior to bringing your pet to a shelter.

Ask for help

Ask your network for help! Talk with your friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. Let them know that you need to find a new home for your pet to see if they or someone they know is looking to get a new pet.

Share pet photos

Share some cute photos of your pet on your social media channels and ask your friends and followers to share them.

Talk with your vet

Ask your veterinarian if you can post signs in their clinic. This type of networking can be very effective.

Post Online

Most people who are looking for a new pet start online. Help them find your pet by listing them for adoption on popular rehoming websites such as Adopt-A-Pet or Home-to-Home. They are free, easy to use, and will get your pet’s profile in front of thousands of potential adopters.

Reach out

Reach out to local no-kill animal rescues for assistance.

As a very last resort and only after all other options have been exhausted should you consider bringing your pet to your local shelter. Home-to-Home is required for a shelter intake appointment at CAS. To begin the process, view the steps below:

Step 1 - Create an account with Home-to-Home

To create your pet profile, go to: https://home-home.org/shelters/cas

Step 2 - Post a profile

Craft an informative bio and take clear pictures of your pet. Once your profile is approved, it will be published and shared throughout our network.

Step 3 - Find a home

If someone is interested in your pet, you’ll receive a message directly from them that you can respond to privately. If your pet finds a new home, you can remove the pet listing by going to your profile.

Step 4 - Setting an appointment

After completing and submitting your Home to Home profile, a case worker will reach out to you to schedule an appointment. If you delete your Home to Home post after securing your appointment or fail to respond to inquiries on your Home to Home post, your appointment will be canceled.

Step 5 - We are here to help

If you need to rehome your pet due to financial stress, we may be able to assist. Please contact us if you need any additional resources. For further inquiries, contact us at: [email protected]

*If your pet isn’t safe enough to place in the community (for example: displaying aggression) or if your pet will likely have a poor quality of life due to untreatable/unmanageable medical illnesses/injuries, we may recommend humane euthanasia rather than rehoming your pet for adoption.
