UNWANTED DOGS AND CATS

If it is a behavior problem work with behavioral trainers or the pet help line to change your pet’s behavior.

If you are moving, take him with you!! If the pet is causing problems let us help you to solve the problem, whatever it is.

Try the following before contacting an animal rescue organization to take your pet in:

• Place the pet yourself with friends or family.
• Let the grapevine work! Tell your friends to tell their friends that you are giving up your pet. Tell everyone you know. If you plan to take them to the Humane Society or Animal Care & Control (dog pound) tell them that too. Some kind soul will help.
• Ask your neighbors and neighborhood children if they will help you look for a new home for your pet.
• Put an ad in your work newsletter or church bulletin.
• Put ads up at your local veterinarian or pet shops like PETCO or PETSMART.
• If you put a classified ad in the newspaper be sure to charge a price to keep your pet safe from people shopping for free dogs. Properly screen all interested adoptive families to make sure your pet will have a safe, loving, permanent home.
• Put free ads up at the grocery store and anywhere else people congregate.
• Ask friends to watch your pet for a few weeks to give you extra time if you need it.
