Things to consider

This decision never comes lightly, here are a few things to consider before rehoming your dog...​

Owners surrender their dogs for a myriad of reasons. More common ones include: Moving, can’t keep, my landlord won’t allow dogs, not enough time, now I know he/she bites and can’t afford anymore.

​Although those are the reasons commonly given, the underlying cause far more often in those cases, is that something interfered with the development of the all-important bond between dog and human that ensures the dog a lifelong, loving home. Every day thousands of dog lovers move and take their dogs with them, find a new place to live where dogs are allowed, rearrange busy schedules to make time for their dogs, and prioritize budgets to cover their dog-care expenses.
