Welcome to the Chance Shelter Re-homing Page. Here you will find a variety of Information that will, hopefully, help guide you through this difficult decision.
Chance Shelter understands that there are many reasons that you may need to re- home your pet. While we very much care about your situation, Chance Shelter is not a public intake facility and we are not trying to tackle the issues of strays. Our primary mission is to work with pets in crisis situations.
We do offer a great Rehoming program that will allow you, as the pet owner, to be a part of choosing the new forever home for your current pet. Our rehoming Program is designed to;
Be a sustainable solution for pet owners needing to re-home their pets
Keep abandoned and surrender pet numbers down in shelters
Offer a safe alternative for people needing to re-home their pets and the people looking to adopt pets
Facilitating the search for a new forever home for their pet can help empower the owner and ensure they are actively involved, ultimately benefiting both owner and pet
Entering into an adoption agreement increases accountability for the new pet owner, ensuring they commit to providing proper care and support for their new companion
Ready to re-home?
Whatever your reason is, if you are ready to re-home your pet, make sure you are ready and willing to dedicate the time it will take to find your pet a new forever home. We all lead very busy lives, and taking the time to find a good home for a pet isn’t always quick or easy.
How it works
1) Fill out some forms that require your signature. We will open an electronic signature form so you can fill in the blanks.
2) Fill out the rehoming registration form with a few uploads of documentation we need: pet picture and records(vaccines and spay/neuter)
When you upload a picture of your pet, use a current picture. Plus a bio on your pet. Be careful to get a close up of their face and eyes and remember to add special characteristics to their bio.
Before registering for this program and having your pet featured for the next event, please have the following documents ready;
Pictures of pet (face and body shot)
Copy of Vaccination records
Copy of proof of Spay/Neuter certification
Licensing (if applicable)
Proof of ownership of pet (may be licensing or vet records)
NOTICE -
Although we love pit bull mixes and recognize their wonderful qualities, our rehoming program cannot accept them due to insurance restrictions. We understand this may be disappointing and appreciate your understanding.
To request a courtesy posting on the Chance Shelter website for a pet in need of a new home, simply click the button below and provide some basic information about the pet.
Now that Chance Shelter has all of your information, your pet will be featured on our rehoming pets available for adoption page on the Chance Shelter website. This ensures that potential adopters can view your pet’s photos ahead of our next scheduled rehoming pet adoption expo.
