Rehoming Your Pet

At SOAR, we aim to keep the human-animal bond in tact and work to provide resources to aid in that.  That being said, we do understand that at times there is no other option. 

While we don't generally take owner- surrenders from the general public; there are times when we have availability and open foster homes and can help.  We have an open, running wait-list for these circumstances.  These applications are not accepted on a first come-first served basis; but on what placement we have available.  

If you choose to fill out an owner surrender application, please be sure to be completely honest on details.  This helps us to ensure the best fit, if one is available.  Once we review, we will be in contact within 72 hours.

***Please note, at this time, we are sad to say that we are unable to accept any owner surrender applications.  If you have a pet and would like resources to keep your pet in your home, please email us at info@soarnash.org. If you or someone you know is interested in fostering, please fill out a foster application!

• PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES! Make sure you have pictures of every angle of the dog/cat.  Make sure the pet is looking at the camera and keep the background simple.  Videos are great too.
• Give a full description of the animal.  Age, size, description.  Be 100% Honest.  About everything. Good and bad.  It is all important when finding the best place for your animal.  
• Be ready with any vetting records.  If they need updating, be up front about it.

When you have a potential adopter, you should make sure to verify who they are and ask the following questions: 

• Have you had pets before?  
• What kind of pets have they had?
• If so, what happened to them?
• Why are they interested in these pets
• If they have kids? (make sure the fit is good with the pet)
• You should also ask about vet care for former pets - asking about whether they are looking for indoor or outdoor pets, etc.
• Feel free to ask for vet reference information.  This usually helps to determine what kind of pet owner they are.
• Ask for a re-homing fee.  If you don't want the money, donate it somewhere, but this helps to ensure people are serious.

You should be comfortable with any answers - if you get a bad feeling, believe it!
