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.

Agape Animal Rescue has a continuous need for quality foster homes for our rescue dogs. We are looking for all types of foster families, including those who are able to foster full-time as well as for just a few weeks at a time.
We work with a network of foster homes where dedicated foster parents care for and nurture the dogs. We are looking for people who can care for our dogs as if they are a personal pet. With so many animals coming through our program, we can always match the right animal to your foster family/home.

We are devastated that we even have to post this. Mya is a 2 1/2 yr old female blue heeler, and a perfect 1 or 2 owner dog. We adopted her from the humane society of Sumner County. She is a very loyal female blue heeler mix(they were unable to tell us what kind). We have put her through training and yet, it still isn’t nearly enough for what she needs. She needs a huge back yard with a lot of space, perhaps even a farm like atmosphere. We need someone to care for her like we do. She had been given a very good life, despite the lack of space we can provide. She knows many commands, has been to the vet 3x in less than a year (for regular visits), and is up to date with her shots and can provide records. She does not do well with other people or other dogs at the moment. She will need to become accustomed to her new parents. She is very territorial and protective of her owners. It is just the kind of dog she is. We are so saddened and cannot give her away without knowing she will have great parents with a lot of space for her. (267) 982-6117/call or text. Ask for Jack. She will need to be picked up and we can provide a muzzle because she’s going to be difficult to get to readjust. Once she is accustomed to her new parents, we promise you will not regret adopting her. Thanks for reading. If you know rescues that can help people in situations like this, please provide any contacts you can. No rehoming fee if the right people/place fits.
Hello,
This is Kai. I adopted her about 3 years ago. She still behaves like a puppy. Very affectionate and intelligent. Has been trained at Behavior/Obedience school. Sit,Shake,Down,and Stay commands in tact. Leash trained. She will fetch anything you can throw. Very safe around children and gets along well with other dogs.Indoor trained and quite an athlete outside. She loves to ride in the back of my pickup. She jumps into the bed (tailgate up) then looks at me as if to say “what are you waiting for?” I don’t want to give this friend up but a job change due to the current crisis will have me traveling 50% of the time. I just want to see her happy. I had her DNA analyzed which is attached below. A unique combination of breeds that makes for a loyal, obedient friend that can run like the wind. People stop by my back yard all the time to comment on how beautiful she is and she doesn’t know it. I’m willing to work with the right family to get her into a good home. Thank you.

I need to rehome a male pit bull mix. He is 5+ years old and needs a 1 dog home without children, He loves to please is leash trained and obeys commands: sit, down, paw, come and stay. I need help asap as I have 3 rescues and can not care for them all.
Looking for a new home for my 2 lab mix dogs. Both boys, nutered and healthy. they are brothers and 4 years old. Potty trained. Sweet boys. I just don't have the time to care for them like they deserve. If interested please text or call me at 615-739-4553.
No help what so ever. Acted like she wasn't concerned at all about the situation and didn't want to take time to talk about it. If you have a straggely dog no one wants that has been thrown out on the side of the road starving they are "too full" "have no room". But if you have a designer puppy grandma can't take care of anymore because she has to go to the the nursing home they are all in. I would not give one cent to these people. If your gonna help one help all or get out of the business. And yes business is the right word not rescue
