Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

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.

We desperately need foster homes. Last year the SPCA saved over 3,000 pets by placing many of them in temporary foster homes like yours! This allows the pets to grow up in a home environment, and opens up much needed space at our facilities. The SPCA provides all food, supplies and medical care to foster animals in the SPCA's foster program. All we need is some of your time, compassion and your spare room!

Looking for a good, loving, and caring home for my daughter’s 4 yr old Australian Shepherd Pitt Bull mix. My daughter inherited her 2 weeks ago, but we are unable to properly care for her due to my daughter is a college student, and I travel often with work. She is tan and white and super cute. Very obedient, fully house trained, and current with shots; has not been sprayed. She has a gentle demeanor and not overly hyper, good with kids. She loves being around people, no matter if you’re watching tv, working, or reading a book, she is right there with you. A person who works from home or who is home often would be a good fit for her. She needs an appropriate yard to run and play and deserves a loving family that can devote more time to her and that can care for her both physically and financially. Can someone please give her a good, loving home? She is a good dog in a not so good situation. We have exhausted all options. Pls call 919-740-4930 or email [email protected]. Thanks for all consideration.

I have a beautiful very young pit pull that I need to rehome. We are just not doing him justice. He needs an appropriate yard and a family with more time to devote to him. He has such a gentle demeanor and not overly hyper. Did I mention that he is beautiful?? He is also good with kids. He is UTD on his shots and just got a clean bill of health. He's yet to be neutered though.

i am going to be fostering a 2 yr old pitador female who is already spayed and microchiped. all shots are up to date. what do i need to do to have you help me find her a forever home. the present owner doesn't want to get rid of her, but because she is 1/3 lab, and2/3 pit neighbors complained because of ignorance. I am driving 4 and a half hrs to get her. Her name is Sadie. She comes with her crate and all her belongings. Dhe is really sweet but very strong. Can you help me place her in a permanent home?

We have a blue nose bully breed (Pitt) that we need to find a good home for. He is 1yr and 2 months. He is up to date on all his shots but will need 2 more distempo in the future. He has been neutered. He gets along great with kids we have 3 ages 8, 12 and 15 and also other animals. We have 7 yr old boxer and a 3year old cat. we work a lot of hours and can't give him the proper attention he requires. He is very active and needs to run a lot. We don't have a fenced in yard and so by the time we get home from work it is 6pm. If you are interested please email me and I can send you pictures. He loves to snuggle.

Hey, there are five cats that I've been taking care of. They are polydactyl (extra toes). I'm moving to an apartment and cannot bring them with me. It breaks my heart because I love them dearly. They are all sweet and overall well behaved. I just want them to be happy and healthy. A kill shelter is not an option. Please help me. They deserve only the best.

I need to find a loving, forever home for 2 cats. One female, tabby 3-years-old, one male, black 3-years-old. Both have copper/gold eyes. They are brother and sister. I found them when they were kittens and have been fostering them since. I have 3 other cats and have taken on a dependent, and can no longer afford to maintain these two. They are both very sweet, spayed and neutered, up to date with shots, no health concerns, lap cats, loving, playful. If someone could take both, that would be wonderful. They can be separated, but only for the right person. Please email [email protected] if you would like more information or to meet the kitties. Thank you. We will not take them to a kill shelter.

I have a female black lab that just showed up at my house. She is the sweetest dog. She is house broken and great with other dogs. She doesn't hurt cats, but likes to chase them. Loves to be outside. She only comes in at night. We have 5 acres and she stays right here. I am not sure, but I think she is spayed. No micro chip. I have tried to find owner. Great dog, I just have too many. She's probably 3 or 4 yrs. old. If interested call or text 336-263-4430.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.


Rate it:

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.
