Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

update on Doug******
Things are starting to look up. One of the shelters has agreed to accept Doug into their foster program and even help with his dental issues. The problem is they have no current foster people available for med-large breed dogs.
Would you have anyone available or know of anyone I could contact to help us out? The shelter will be paying for food, bed, bowl etc.
Dougie is currently being boarded and I am hoping to find him a new place as soon as possible
Please let me know
Thank you
Julie

Hello,
I found your contact information on the NoKill network. I am reaching out to you because we adopted our dog Dougie about 3 months ago from county and he is just not adjusting well in our home. He is the perfect dog except he does NOT like my husband. He is very sweet, loves me and he gets along with our other dog and has been fine with visitors. I am not sure if he was abused by a man or if it is just my husband or possibly jealously of me. We have tried but we are unable to keep him due to this situation.
Dougie was listed at county as a senior dog approx. 10 years old but he acts like a puppy and is full of energy. I think he may have just gone grey prematurely...lol. He is cuddly, potty trained, neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped and has a healthy vet report. He does have some broken front teeth possibly from eating rocks, back in the day. He does not really know commands but is food motivated and I have been able to teach him "down" (he will lay down) and he walks well on a leash, he loves his walks!!
I am reaching out to everyone I can think of but if we do not find him a home he will have to go back to county. He has an appointment to be returned on Dec 4. In the mean time, I will have to spend several hundred dollars to board him because I can not continue to keep him separated from my husband by doing the room rotation thing in our house. I would much prefer to donate this money to a shelter that would benefit him or other dogs.
If you can be of any assistance or know of anyone that might be interested or able to help please let me know.
Thank you very much
