NUMBER1:
Post on your personal social media (facebook IG) so your friends can be the first ones to adopt your pup!
a. Use Facebook to search for adoption rescue groups. Go to the search bar an type in “Adoption dog's or Rehoming dog's in your state” and see what pages pop up. If you have a pure bred dog you can search for example “Golden retriever rescue or rehoming or adoption groups” These key words will help you find the correct pages.

As a side note: Facebook does not let you sell puppies or sell dog's. If you write “for sale” you will get kicked out of a group or your posts will be taken down.

Number 2: Utilize online websites for rehoming pets. Here are some reliable websites that I know about and found online for you.
- www.petfinder.com
- www.Adoptapet.com
- www.rehome.adoptapet.com
- Www.Home-home.org
- www.Getyourpet.com

Please also put in the comments any other sites you have used to adopt a pet or rehome a pet that helped you! It could really help someone else.

Number 3: Call your local animal hospital and see if they work with private rescue groups locally.

Number 4: Finally, you can post on Cragislist, Nextdoor app, and other local neighborhood apps so see if anyone reaches out to you to adopt your pet, do not use the word for SALE. Make sure to always put an adoption fee of $200 or more. You really don’t want people getting your dog for free and using them for dog fighting or something else terrible.

I don’t want to scare you, but you need to be careful who adopt your beloved dog too and make sure to talk to them in person and get to know them alittle before they take your dog.

Let them know how important it is to you that they are getting a good home and please try to take the responsibility that you will take the dog or cat back if they are having trouble with the pet.

Alright guys, rehoming pets is sad and hard for the initial owner but I know it is necessary for a lot of people going through a hard time in life.
